Iain, thats 130kg not 120kg

Mistakes were made... The excitement was high 😂

The order of plates is very upsetting

Time constraints... We were doing quick turn around...

If you keep working that hard Iain, you'll be able to manage 10 reps of that in no time, just like I showed you.

just like I showed you.

You missed a few cause we were chatting. Probs 11.. That was a good laugh!

... We should be discussing how cool my shorts were...

Bumper plates on the bench too.

Can we see the photos of him doing curls in the squat rack?

[Edit] Obvs I luv u really xxx

Can we see the photos of him doing curls in the squat rack?

The toilets were out of order, what choice did he have?

Needs must. Else it would've only been the bar.

No vid no did ;)

Jk ofc - bikes, beers and weights sounds like a dream afternoon!

He broke me.

How you feeling today?

This is the content I come here for.

Although those shorts are even more unsettling than the plates order.

Chest is fine. Shoulders and back sore AF. Arms still sore from Tuesday and the top up yesterday 😂

Sounds like the perfect doms

I'd post a video of @chainbreaker lifting a near full stack on lat pulldowns but I'll leave that up to him. The whole frame was rocking 😂

Way late to this but I use Pure Muscle on wood st. It's £55 a month. 12 racks and plenty of machines and cardio if that's your thing.

Nah!

Saw this cat in Memes, thought of you lot. 💪

Slightly ot but still gym related, any recommendations for a decent skipping rope?

What you looking for?

You starting out?

You get different types and weights. Speed ropes, normal ropes, heavy ropes.

Some are rope ropes, others are pvc, or even battlerope style ropes and steel cables.

Check out doperope site for beginners

Personally I'd try a cheap ebay pvc rope as a starting point.

I've managed to fuck up my shoulder in other news... I rolled over in bed and heard a pop in my shoulder... I think I've torn a bit of my lateral delt at the incision... There goes weights for a while.

Cheers, it’s for the wife, she had a cheap one but she didn’t really like it and has been impressed by some of the skippers at the gym who seem to use more of wire one.

If after a wire one, I can highly recommend Beast Rope. (On Amazon tho)

She may be disappointed because you have to be quick those to get them whooshing along and they fucking hurt when they whip your legs or head. They're called speed ropes. Here's a cheap one from ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ADJUSTABLE-SPEED-SKIPPING-ROPE-FITNESS-BOXING-GYM-CROSSFIT-EXERCISE-STEEL-CABLE-/142407670910?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0
