Christmas Period

Man oh man, work is stressful over the Christmas period. Don't think I've mentioned on here before that I work as a Doorman at two nightclubs (partner clubs) and every year over the weeks leading up to Christmas it gets jam packed full of Holiday Heroes who only ever come out once a year because they feel like they have to to fit in with their work colleagues.
Most of these people are utter arseholes. They come in, forget what normal nightclub ettiquette is and start acting like teenagers. Despite the fact they're normally 40 or 50 years old. Now don't get me wrong I'm not trying to say that they shouldn't be allowed out of their office or home. They are. Obviously. They should just be more aware of the people around them are more respectful of people who work in these establishments.
They seem to think that because they are older that they can do what they want and that they have to right to question everything. They moan about prices (HELLOOOOO!!! ITS CALLED INFLATION!!!) and then they moan if they're asked to leave if they've had too much. Pisses me right off. Get the F*CK off your high horse and learn some God damn manners.

Rant Over.

Now then, I tested my 1RM overhead press today and hit 80kg comfortably but I left it at that because I feel 82.5 would have been a struggle and I want my 5/3/1 to be successful so a low start is obviously no problem.
I also tried out Klokov presses today and they felt bad-ass. As well as Krolowski Rows - a king of upright row/shrug movement. They hit the upper traps insanely well. Gonna be a big part of my new programme. I also did lots of neck harness work today. Good fun.
On Saturday I joined a couple of buddies at the gym. The intention was to train strongman events, I particularly wanted to try the 80kg log but for some bizarre reason the gym owner had got rid of all the equipment earlier than he said he would. So we couldn't do events. Instead I kept it quite light and did assistance (with two heavy sets of grip work holding a 200kg dumbell machine, similar to car deadlift movement, off the floor for as long as possible. I got 48.8s)
The other guys got competitive squatting and deadlifting (on the new machine) and we made a little video that can be found on youtube ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-htPtxZEAE
You don't get to see me lift (unfortunately :( ) but I am in the background here. in the citygym shirt.

So yeah its been a good weekend, and I've got a full week of work ahead so that will be fun filled ...
