ColoWayno's log

[Christopher John]

A guy I know from work showed up and was going to do some kind of dumbbell presses on an inclined bench. Apparently the pin holding the bench up wasn't locked in so he fell all the way back and landed awkwardly with arms flailing while holding the dumbbells. I'm not sure if he knew whether he was ok or not, but he walked out after that.

That made me chuckle. Do you know him well enough to give him some good-natured ribbing on Monday?

Actually he just took another job, so it'll have to wait until I see him at the gym again... If he ever comes back.

I actually went over and looked at the bench and I can see how it can happen with that design, I saw him in the locker room right after that and told him pins were notoriously unreliable and had to be double checked.

I'm pretty sure I would have screamed like a little girl, so if all he did was quietly walk out, he can have my man card...

I'm sorry I didn't really follow up, but did you reach your desired weight?

Monday
Pull Ups
9,8,8
Bench
5x94

That set at 94 felt better than the last set with an empty bar. I'll take it.

I got a little over half way there, but only because I was sick for 2 months. Right now I'm just trying to bring my lifts up a bit... I still think I would feel better if I shed a few pounds.

Best of luck!

Me and the guy I was sharing the rack with forgot the change plates in that second set of squats, I just went with it. I got the volume I wanted anyway.

Presses still start to hurt somewhere between 50 lbs and 94 lbs.
