Monday - Back/Traps and rant time

I have a few things to vent about before posting my log #s.

Firstly, holy fark that was A LOT of back volume. I'm not looking forward to waking up tomorrow or Wedsnesday, i'm skurred. The amount of volume and weight also played havoc on my calluses/hands which plays into my second paragraph.

<rant>Secondly, let me tell you a little bit about my current gym manager... 5'8" manlet around 160lbs. and ego the size of a Jay Cutler sized man. He always talks about how badass he is and all these bodybuilding things he does. He wasn't always the manager of this gym he used to be the manager of another branch on the other side of town. One day he was visiting/working at my gym a few months ago and my buddy said he was knowledgable about things so I asked him to take a look at my current split. He basically went up and down and said everything that was wrong about my body, I carry too much fat on my legs, looked at my squat #s at the time (like.... 465x5?) and kept talking about how he'd love to have a contest of strength. Basically, he was an arrogant fuk. Glad he wasn't the manager of my branch at the time...

He's now the manager of this branch and is always around; all of the friends I had that worked at the gym have since quit and they're constantly hiring new people to deal with this guy. He happened to be done with his shift and was doing some phaggy time shoulder exercises and saw blood dripping off my hand while I was deadlifting. It's a regular occurrence for me to break calluses especially during back day. He approaches me and says "If you want to stay you need to go get that bandaged". He saw blood and it looked like his vagina was aching sore. So I rolled my eyes went and got a knuckle bandage and immediately it ripped right back off during my sets of lockouts. Got another bandage, it ripped off next set and I left it off. I was using straps and I was cleaning the bar so idgaf. Basically he's a phaggy time manlet who can't stand pain, blood, or effort because he's probably never played a sport or achieved anything. </rant>


Now for the log, pullups weren't max effort I'm working on form and I was deep into my back workout also. Deadlifts just make me fking angry because I'm so bad at them... I used to deadlift 495 for reps when I was in high school and deadlifted as high as 575 in powerlifting meets...
