katscratch Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 I know many people that have done exactly that with Anytime In fact they currently know me as "Alejandro Lopez" on my workmate's family rate. Her regular location knows it's me, and said they don't care as long as it's paid for monthly. Gardening, yay! I have to put mine to bed this weekend. Frost-blackened and all. Quote Link to comment

Lachy Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Have power cage, will squat! Anytime sounds decent, hopefully they're all equally equiped and the rack isn't too popular. Strength will return pretty quickly, you just need to remind the body what to do! Good to see you back on the front page Quote Battle Log - Facebook Link to comment
Pat G Posted October 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Digging and building today. Gym tonight. Eating monstrous portions of meat and fruit this week. Quote "Strength is the cup. The bigger the cup, the more you can put in" - JDanger Link to comment

Lachy Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 So how're you find Anytime to train at? Starting the LP again at 90 for the squats after the other day's test session? Nice work on those DLs, 140 3x5 is good I assume bench sets were x5s not singles?Now, go eat the foods! Quote Battle Log - Facebook Link to comment
Pat G Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Started a short train ride, bit bump but good. Wed 17 Oct 2012Rows: 4x5x60kg. Workin on that scapular retraction. OHP: 3x5x62.5kg. grinder. Squats: 11x60kg, 2x5x95kg. I think i like low bar better, i don't have to travel so far down to get the stretch bounce happening at the bottom. Friday 19 Oct 2012Squats: 3x5x97.5kg. Bench: 4x5x82.5kg Deadlift: 10x60kg, 5x80kg, 3x100kg, 2x120kg, 5x140kg, 2x160kg. first time i tried the 160, felt like it was nailed to the floor.

Old man was watching me through all of this.Rows:3x5x65kg. Dumbell rows. 3x10x not sure how heavy. Lat pull down 3x8 increasing weight on the stack. Quote "Strength is the cup.

aj_rock Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 In my experience, the DB rows you can actually get pretty damn close to half your regular row working weight per arm. Just watch that you don't twist too much and get most of the motion from dat retraction rather than dem spine twists.

Pat G Posted November 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 I trained 4x last week. Its friday this week and i haven't been to the gym to train once. My training would go like thisBench 80kg: 8, 8, 8, 5 on monday and thursday Dumbell rows: 25kg: 8, 8, 8 on monday and thursdayRDLS: @70 & 80kg on wednesday, 4x5 of each. Found a powerlifting gym right near my house, only problem is the $80 a month fee to train there, other smaller problem is training hours would be between 3-7pm. The guy has 20 yrs strength training experience and coached both our NRL rugby league team(illawarra dragons) and area rugby union team(Illawarriors). Some of the guys i talked to during my interview there were playing for a local league team, and they'd all put about 20kgs on their squat and 3kgs on in around a month.... crazy stuff. Every piece of equipment you'd ever need, every type of bar including axles, prowler sled, yokes, GHR, Reverse Hyper, 24 and 30 inch boxes, atlas stones, tyres from 150kg- 400kg etc etc etc etc. Burning through my mobile data allowance at the moment. Optus go jump i say. Quote "Strength is the cup. The bigger the cup, the more you can put in" - JDanger Link to comment
Lachy Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 That sounds exactly like PTC! It's $20/week, so $80/month, all that gear, etc. Do it man, you won't regret it! Nothing like training with like minded guys, shifting serious weight, who know what they're doing Quote Battle Log - Facebook Link to comment

Pat G Posted November 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Ptc is a full time gym yes? Pete, the owner has cut the gym down to a small room compared to how big it was. His full time job these days is building fitness equipment. Now.. if I can convince someone to cover the first month fee as an early. Xmas present we'll be set :-) haha Quote "Strength is the cup.

Lachy Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's a full time gym. I think Scott is looking into branching into some distribution, but the gym is the priority. It's a room about 30m x 15m. Nice work getting that mile in! Quote Battle Log - Facebook Link to comment
