Barnyard Barbell is born!!!!
Friday night Martin, Brett and I helped out Brenda and her husband Angus put together Brenda's new equipment!
She got the Deluxe model Monolift from Elitefts. With the current exchange rate cost about a million dollars and the Canadian Dollar is absolute shit right now. She also got a squat rack, squat bar, deadlift bar, GHR, competition bench (made by Ken Whetham) and 2000lbs of weights.
Fuck yes!
Sunday was the inaugural training session at the new gym. After the first warm up I came up with the nickname "Barnyard Barbell club". While standing in the mono, you can look out the window and see the cows and horses on Brenda's farm.
Now for the training.
Squats
Bar x 5 x 3. We all took a long time and a few sets to warm up. To get use to the bar as well as the monolift.
105 x 5
145 x 5. This new bar math is going to fuck with for a bit.
195 x 3
235 x 3
325 x 3. Added briefs and belts
415 x 2
505 x 2
595 x 2 x 5 sets
I didn't hit up the AMRAP on my last set as I am not in good enough shape to be repping out 595 yet.
All this training also took an amazing 2.5 hours!! 1.75 hours of this time was Martin getting ready to squat. Marty, speed your shit up homie!!!!
All in all it was great to not have to walk out squats. I'm pretty pumped for this Arnold training cycle coming up!
Bench is going to be this weekend!!!!
