Thanks for the info! We will certainly be throwing ourselves into the local culture and cuisine so I will keep an eye out for Tsa-Tsa! Not to mention that I hear the local beers are considerably cheaper than imports. Nazdrave!

Hit 132.5kg (292) x3 on my squat and 77.5kg (170) x3 on week 6 of Madcows this morning. Squat is the same as my low bar pr from before I went travelling last summer – 300lbs isn’t far off now.

That’s awesome. Burgas will be a great time! I spent a lot of time a few hours north of Burgas in Varna, and am well-accustomed to the Black Sea ports of Bulgaria. If you haven’t before, you must try Tsa-tsa. It is a traditional beach dish–basically, Sprat are fried whole and served. Enjoy it with some french fries with or without feta cheese and a Bulgarian beer, such as Zagorka or Shumensko. Nazdrave!

Eating PR – 1.25lbs of cheeseburger, fries, and a cold beer

Lifting PR – 340×2 for a Squat, and 395×4 for a DL. 385 was my 1RM in January.

Just got back from Amsterdam 7s Rugby Tournament. Fucking epic 70s Big people in abundance.

Great PR week. Hit 385lbs x 10 Deadlift yesterday.

531 is working a treat for me right now.

Peace be gone to all and sundry.

Sadly, I work at a gym like this at the front desk. I have many tales of woe, but this is a particularly sad one.

I was on break during a Friday shift and the club GM was showing a member a “fantastic core exercise.” He grabbed the bosu ball, of course. Stood on it and started doing squats. Parallel squats. The members, or in this case, for all intensive 70s Big purposes, assholes were very impressed. One of the personal trainers started to hop on and do them. His back was rounding at the bottom of this sad pathetic attempt of a fake squat. I kept saying at the bottom of every rep “Your back is rounding.” I repeated this over and over again. Later on, he walked past me and gave me a dirty look. This trainer reflects the trainer in Justin’s post. He teaches a “Cardio Salsa” class. Yeah.

So after the GM hopped off, these two assholes hopped on. Break is over. I go back to the desk to ponder about my life. The asshole who hops onto the bosu ball decides to turn into an askhole. If you don’t know what an askhole is, look it up on google. This stupid twat has the audacity to ask me: “how’s my form.” This is the conversation that followed:

Me: “Honestly. What you’re doing is ridiculous.”

Him: “What do you mean?”

Me: “Dude, get off that ridiculous piece of shit and put bar on your back.”

Him: “But…but…this is good for your core, right?”

Me: “No, it is not. A guy who can squat 400 pounds has a way stronger core than a guy who can only squat 135.”

Him: “Oh yeah, but this stuff is good to do also, right?”

Me: “NO. GET OFF THAT THING AND PUT A BAR ON YOUR BACK AND SQUAT, DAMMIT.”

He got scared. He probably told on me to the GM. The GM is a bitch anyways. He wears pants all the time. He’s ashamed of his legs. I would be too if I “trained legs” the way he does. This is the sad reality I’m up against all the time. I laugh, but most of the time I weep inside.

I feel like I could start my own blog with all of the stories I have.
