I did two sets of OHP before realising I still had my thongs on ( flip flops ), probably not the best lifting shoe ever! I also changed grip on the last 2 reps of 85kg for DL having grip issues due to sweat, spied some chalk the kids had left in the shed and used that, 5 reps at 95kg with double overhand! Was very mindful to use pinch grip with my left hand to move plates around. Forever working on grip strength!To my surprise as I started my cool down the GOT theme started, my Little Brother must have put it on my music yesterday. He also spoilt me and brought me a Terminator t-shirt which is going to be my new workout shirt once I wear it for the next two weeks continuously. It will be my secret under armour for my Ambo uniform!!! 1 Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment

SevenofSeven Posted August 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Week 1 of Madcow and feeling pretty positive about it all. The lighter weights have made it easier to lift mindfully and concentrate on form which has been good for me, I look forward to the slower progression on my lifts and keeping them tight and pretty. Food sucked.Going to be a good week.However I do need to sleep better. 1 Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment

SevenofSeven Posted August 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Was talking to Son3 and his GF last night, they told me they had moved the weights room at the recreation centre from the upstairs to the conference room down stairs, they have also left out some of the machines the leg press is gone so is the BW thing where you do dips and weighted pull ups etc. so our crappy little gym here in town just got crappier and smaller, they were saying with 5 people in there Monday no one had space to move. Awesome, our shire is just the shit She was asking about lifting and was interested in doing some lifts with me. Cool! Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment
