It was my 21st on wednesday, which sounds all good, but my day was just like any other. Went to work, went to gym, went home and watched tv with the ladyfriend. Except I got my present in the gym today. Trying some deadlifts while standing on plates and, after using 150kg on Monday, decided to up the weight to 155kg. So off I go, 25kg plate on...and another...15kg...10kg...2.5kg and im ready! If your good at maths you may have now realised that this all adds up to 155kg if its on each side of the bar, AND also that the bar has its own weight of 20kg. So safe to say this was the heaviest ever 155kg I have ever felt, but it went up and I thought I was just Knackered (just finished 20 rep squats, more on this later) only being able to get it up the once. It was only after standing up from a wee lie down I needed that I realised I had just pulled my 1st 175kg, and off fecking plates too. Needless to say I am pretty pleased with myself.
Ok, as I mentioned earlier I had a go at 20 rep squats today. I have heard about these and how hard they were, but never wanted to do the full routine, so I decided to fit them into my own. I got my bench press and chin ups done first so that if I couldn't walk after the squats then I would have at least done a front and back exercise aswell. As you would imagine, I didn't go crazy with the weight for my 1st time, but 80kg is a weight I would imagine using for sets of 10 and so I used this. I think I may have disturbed some people around me with sex noises...AND faces, but at the time I couldn't give a fuck because I just wanted to fall over. I did need sit down for a few minutes after, and my legs were kinda wobbly, but I decided I would go ahead and do some deadlifts....just to be hardcore, lol. Anyways, not looking forward to next Friday when I have to use 85kg to do those bad boys, but I am in a way...
