So I went hunting for gyms yesterday, the first one I checked out wasn't pretty. It's quite small with one bench with a giant black bar
And one squat stand which kind of scares me, you have to lunge to get one foot between the stands to rerack the bar
So I moved on to the next gym, the picture online looked cool and they have a power rack. However when I asked to see the gym they made me wear these to come inside.
That made me a little suspicious so I asked the receptionist escorting me around the gym if there is an area for deadlifting, she asked a nearby hulking trainer and he responds in bulgarian
So went back to the first gym, turns out it has a ton of embassy workers training there which is cool. I'm just worried about squatting or benching heavy on their equipment.
Bench
5/5/8 70kg focused on keeping back very tight, no shoulder pain
Chins
8/6
Squat
3x5 90kg (wanted to do 92.5 but they don't have 1.25kg weights)
Squats felt good as well, focused a lot on keeping my core tight. Was worried about pushing the last set with the new weird setup. Gotta work on my reracking skills
