Notes:
Sadly that's two squat workouts ruined by  'couples who train together'. They end up RIGHT next to me and i just feel self conscious cos i dont want to demasculate the invariably weak little dude who is with his woman and you're just trying to hit a PR and need to be mentally dialled in and aggressive.

I have no problem being aggressive if the dude is training alone, or if it's two women, or a strong dude and a woman, but something about the combination of a weak guy trainer with his gf just kills my mood. I feel like if i act aggressive i'll be making him look bad infront of his woman so i just lose the mental battle out of politeness. Sucks cos before they showed up the gym was practically empty, as soon as i get to my last warmup before the first workset, (both days) the couples show up and then i gotta watch the weak guy balance plates around me in my peripheral because he's not respecful enough to wait for the guy lifting heavy to finish his set.

Might say something next time, like you girls are killing it.

Change your attitude brother! Instead of feeling sorry for someone for being weak and not wanting to 'show them up', you should lift even bigger to inspire and motivate them.

30 min walk

Deadlift up to 405 mixed grip
Up to 365 (had 375) double overhand

Then machine work and biceps

It was crowded and we had a 2 hours squatter and his gf trying to take everything up (both squat racks and bench)  so I went over and just threw the weight off 1 of the bars on the squat rack and went at it.  I absolutely hate this time of the year.

- pull ups x 12
had 13 or maybe 14 if i pushed.

goofing off, amped because gf and i are heading out tonight! i'll work out while i'm in the states but not holding myself to any plan. i may post while i'm away but if not: merry christmas and happy new year, my adarq.org people. best wishes for the rest of 2018 and the beginning of 2019.
