I'm a member there.

It's got old school charm to it, it's not all glitz like commercial gyms. Facilities wise, so far it covers all my needs. Certain machines, barbells and a rack. Terry is really friendly, so are the brothers who train there. But you gotta try it regardless, weekday nights is when most of us train so that's the best time to gauge the atmosphere.

woah, alternate grip makes that much of a diff? very nice man for you to be doing so many DL's on your first session!

I switched from both hands pronated to one hand pronated and the other supinated. I don't know, but the bent over rows for some reason took a lot out of my grip tonight. My back isn't aching so after half a year, I think it's my grip that deteriorated. Thanks for the wishes Mike. Next year I wanna do 160kg deads too.

gluck heh, tweaked my back yest doing romanian's. gonna skip deadlifts for a bit. getting worn down anyways. haiz, old man la me

o btw i heard dont do bent over and deadlifts on the same day, very taxing on the lower back. think this is from tnations forums.
