So powerlifting is NOT cool, apparently...

First yesterday, just did 35 mins of walk/run cardio at the hotel... nothing too big, just working on the cardio and running.

today, I was up at the asscrack of dawn again to be at Pussy fit... uh i mean PF fitness to work out. I walk in with my hoodie, and warmup pants on carrying a 1 gallon jug of water. I am immediately informed that I cannot have a jug of water, only a bottle... holy crap, i didnt think that place could get any worse, but thats what i get for thinking. I was looking at the "inspirational" signs os the wall and a bunch of em say "PF fitness, you fit in here" or " you belong here" freaking vaginas. all the machines, which remember are painted purple, say "Judgement free" on em. It reminds me of "average Joes gym" from dodgeball, minus the cool ass Vince Vaughn.

anyway, back to training.

i get there and plan on just doing some cardio on the eliptical and tred....wrong. My section leader, who is the reason why im at that pussy palace, has other plans for me. After 8 mins on the eliptical, he drags me down to the leg extension machine.... ok ill do that. we start doing reps
1X15 for warm up
2X20 at most of the weight on the purple machine, and
1X30 for half the weight.. 30 reps... thats real fun

meanwhile, were supersetting with calf extensions
2X20 reps
1X30 reps

then we go to the leg press machine
8 platesX20X3
mixed with calf extensions

after this i get into a pissing match about the amount of reps, which i hate, so we get onto the subject of squating. Now remember, I never do reps for legs. Its normally always ME or Dynamic, with 8-10 sets of 2 reps at most so im hurtin from sheer volume. So we go squat and i get into my wide stance and that brings on a whole nother arguement. Finally rank gets pulled, I shut up and squat like a body builder
135X8
225X8
135X10

cooled down on the bike for 6 mins and called it a morning. So in conclusion. Powerlifting isnt cool in Orlando(sorry Brian). I never did make it to OBB b/c brian was busy with his pre comp stuff. Next time ill head over and check it out.

going home in less than 20 hours! w00t
