A Weak Persons Journey To Strength...

Looking very good bro!!

Nice job, training is stellar bro.

That's interesting. I've never done floor presses because I was scared of coming down too hard on my elbows and damaging them. You like them?

Yep, its a good exercise and i dont think you should be worried about your elbows.

Will be having some beer tonight as tomorrow will be Queensday. I havent had alcohol in weeks so will probably be knocked out after two .

Nice! You deserve a little treat after the work you've been putting in. Good job. I liked reading about the floor pressing.

Haha, I'm a light drinker these days too - generally buy two or three bottles of ale and drink them at home.

I prefer an ale or some belgian beer as well. I rather have one really nice one, instead of having multiple normal beers.

Great upper session, mate.

Quick question Luna - what's this I hear about Holland banning sale of weed to tourists? I hear the mayor of the Dam is up in arms about it.

Thanks.

They are implementing a so called "Wietpas" or Weed card. This is a card given to Dutch citizens which they need to be allowed to buy weed. Obviously, tourists wont have this card and will be denied the sale of all drugs, including soft drugs like weed. Seeing as 99% of the tourists are drawn to Holland because of the weed tolerance, this will become a pretty big issue for the tourist industry.

2x80kg (175lbs)
25x2x90kg (200lbs) <- in 14 mins, 31 seconds

I havent done this weight for time before, so this is my new personal best. Last week, i did 25x2x185lbs to a low box in 15 mins, 9 seconds so ill see this as an improvement.

1x110kg (245lbs)

I was a bit slower on speed and form wasnt where i would like it to be. I did 16x1x245lbs in 3 mins, 19 seconds last week. I should have beaten that.

Great session bud. Do you press the stopwatch and quickly grab the bar, or get someone else to time you?

I time it myself, so pretty much the first . Especially after the squats im quickly stumbling to my stopwatch not to waste any time, lol.
