decent workout. energy was relatively low, was fairly weak. just had too much fucking school today. i had about 7-8 hours of class today. Speed bench 135 x 3 x 6 145 x 3 x 3 Close grip 1-board 185 x 5 205 x 3 dropset - close grip no board 135 x 12 Power cleans 135 x 3 135 x 3 135 x 3 DB front raises 25s 25s 25s  As a young lifter, I remember going into the gym and seeing some really big, strong dudes lifting heavy weights, clapping chalk, and making a lot of noise. The music playing on the stereo made you want to work out the moment you walked inside.

Funny day in the gym. back was feeling a bit tight, overall i was sore/ tight which was really surprising. Now to the funny part. When i was doinig some DB grip holds, i dropped/slammed them on the ground and some dumb bitch taht works there told me ''if you're strong enough to carry them, then you are strong enough to set em down''. i gave her a dirty look and laughed with my friend. unbelievable, its almost been 3 years ive been going to that gym and this is the first time ive ever heard anyone tell me not to slam shit. its not like i slammed this shit from the pisa tower either. i proceeded with another set, and slammed them again. unfortunately, she wasnt there. And i think i overheard some fucking faggot duo that do the same exact exercises with teh same tempo like they were some fucking dance group talking shit about me dropping them. although, the chick is pretty hot... Elevated deads on platform 225 x 10 PR 245 x 6 225 x 8 DB SLDL 90s x 6 90s x 6 90s x 6 DB curls 40s 45s 50s DB holds heheheh 90s 90s Abs ''eat like shit, and give 10% effort in the gym, whilst keeping the same results and physique year round'' - the gyms motto. no really, it is.

Was still sore today, which pissed me off (back, lats, shoulders, glutes, hams) didnt want to push it to hard. the DB presses have made a difference, but now i get stuck halfway. this shit is getting fucking frustrating. hmmmm

if the gym doesn't even have a squat rack than it's a joke of a gym anyways. Might want to try some restoration work if you are sore and really up your protein intake, ice can help at times too. also...don't slam shit unless necessary. You have to treat light weights like heavy weights, and heavy weights like like weights. Be in control. Even when I'm deadlifting 500+, I don't just drop it when I'm done with it, I control it on the way down. ---I'm just saying in case you were being a dumbass and dropping dumbbells without purpose. One dumb mother fucker at my gym was tossing the plate-loaded DB's down and he blew one of them apart. I went up to him and asked him how long he thought it would take before it got repaired, or we got a new DB in. He agreed that it would be a long fucking time IF it even happened at all. So because he wanted to be a dumbass and throw the DB's around when he didn't need to, my gym is short a fucking dumbbell. I can understand if you just did a heavy set of something and you do your best to put the DB's down nicely but you end up dropping it. But purposely dropping DB's just to be tough or something is corny. Respect your gym even if it sucks, you fuck up the shit there and you'll go without...or worse, they'll throw you out.

I didnt really drop them. I was holding them till they hit the ground. I respect the gym, even though its a gay fucking gym, and i see some tool bags trying to look cool and tough do shit like that. REALLY make you look like a fuckign douche bag. I was just holding the dumbells as long as i could, and dropped them a bit rough, remember im doing DB holds. Im not trying to impress, intimidate, or boost my ego or anything. But i do see where you're coming from.
