Nice Leg press. Yeah in My hurry I wore my cushioned running shoes and squatting in them with a heal is NOT fun . good stuff on front squats too.

my 1st report from the new gym

what a dungeon,

lol, Awesome workout mate, a lot of volume there, leg pressing is looking VERY heavy, how much can it hold?

Have you measured your thighs lately? They must be getting bloody huge!

it can hold i would say.. 20 pps mayb more. its a beast.

legs are 27.5 just measured now.

[deegee]

Looks good there, any new gym takes a bit of getting used to. I hope if you do stay you will do the conversion to kgs for us in your log!

[Growth]

Seems like the new gym has some good points and bad, like deegee said, it always takes a while to get used to a new gym.

Are there any other gym options in your area?

[Growth]

Awesome deadlifts jono! :nod:

I also find that lat pulldown machines vary greatly gym to gym, some of them ive seen are so bad that everytime you pull the stack up it shaves tiny filings of metal off the stabilizing bars.

DB rows are HEAVY!!! Looks like if you were to stick to the new gym it would work wonders on your back huh.

Good stuff!
