Warning - Rant ahead. So I was meant to squat 77.5kg tonight which would have been what I did on my last session before I went on holidays and lost my gains. There was a beautiful 1.25kg plate sitting next to the squat rack when I arrived. Couldnt find the other one. I usually have to look around and theyre usually at opposite ends of the gym, but I always find them. Not tonight. As a result Im leaving my gym and trying one with a reputation for being a serious lifters gym. On the bright side I squatted 80kg, for 5x5, so Im back to making gains. It was hard and form gave way on a few reps, but I got it up 25 times. I then did 50kg on bench and row, and got all my reps out, so not far from a plate each side on those. Starting to really notice an improvement in strength. Im going to start using the app again and do 80 again next time now that Im back to where I stopped at with the app. Made me feel better after what was probably the worst day Ive ever had barring days when friends and family have died, but still angry at the sloppy standards my gym doesnt enforce. Weights are always scattered around everywhere, on the ground, its a friggin mess and for the first time in my life I feel like Im better than my gym. Rant over.
