Definitely enjoying having a gym that opens before 3:30pm. And that doesn't close at 9pm. The commercial gym is nice but gets crowded. And its crowded with the worst gym idiots ever. Never seen so much 3-4 man bench press in the smith machine in my life. Assisted curling is something you can probably see everyday. Its sick,and gross. But not so bad because that means the squat rack and regular bench is almost always free. (these guys fight over the smith machine.) I usually have to clear a spot for pressing and deadlifting, but there is always space. I have a video of a three man,half rep bench in the smith machine. It was pretty epic. I'll try to post it on youtube, but chances are it will have to be put on a chinese site.
That other gym i was going to,I think the weights and everything were not quite what they were marked as. Things seem slightly heavier at the commercial gym. Not sure if it is because one had the shorter,solid bars marked as 10kg, and the other gym has regular oly bars. Maybe the length plays a role? Or maybe the weights were slightly off. Not so much it is effecting my training maxes, but seems a bit heavier.
So this has effected my goals for the week. Instead of basing it off of previous reps bests,I will establish new ones, bust my ass for them. And then go on. I will keep the old ones in mind, and will do my best to beat them, but as mentioned earlier not sure if the old gym I was lifting what I thought I was lifting. (THIS DO NOT EFFECT THE COMP. BOTH OF THOSE MAXES WERE DONE AT THE COMMERCIAL GYM)
Glad to be feeling better. Had a nasty flu last week,fever,sore throat. Now I feel great, also just loaded up on some nachos. Usually not huge news.. But as some of you know I live in China, so it is HUGE. Nachos are super rare here, and they were wonderful.
