Let me in for free, so can’t complain to much.
Didn’t have all that much in the way of free weights (only one rack) but got stuff done.
No belt or knees sleeves again, then went for a day trip to florence falls, would highly recommend.

One arm dumbbell clean and press: 5 @ 22.5,25,27.5,30kg.

Fuck, I’d forgotten what peak hour is like in a small box gym.
It’s a struggle trying to get to the dumbbells because everyone is standing up close to the mirror curling.
One rack is also not nearly enough.
Anyway spent a bit of time out in kakadu (hot as fuck but a great place f you like exploring national park land).
Food portions in Darwin are massive (or at least where I’ve eaten) and delicious so bring on the bulk haha

Tonight’s dinner special is two for one steak thoug so…
@MarkKO I got an email from elite and lime saying they plan to ‘upgrade’ the cardio area, which I assume means that they’ll just be swapping out weight equipment for more treadmills.
Sounds like I’ll be on the hunt for a new gym when I get back lol

I was worried about the chalk going walkabout but it’s still there.
I’m sure it’s only a matter of time though…

You may find that they will leave it alone unless the dynamic of the members changes. If it’s still getting good use then surely no need for the to pull it out

Problem is, word is already out. People have left and as soon as they employ their people it will just attract lemon heads!

Nail on the head. Both Jez and Megan have been given their marching orders as far as I know (although both were going anyway after the change), and Jez has been there is some capacity for 12 years.

So club elite lime physique when renovating the cardio area have decided to place concept 2 up right row machines near the half glass wall as you come up the stairs, I’m not sure exactly on how you use them but I was greeted by a disappearing and reappearing head today 
Everything moved pretty well, got carried away with pressing the log.

I hadn’t thought about this but most gyms like lime I’ve been too have had rubbish trainers. To be fair the worst was a young guy at the public Australian institute of sport gym.
He commented on me rounding my upper back while deadlifting, then suggested I stand on my toes to deadlift.
