Somewhere near a rep PB then?

[JP]

I have fluked a triple with 117.5 before, so yes very near!

My plan was to just stick to high reps for a while, but with a beastly log like that it will be hard lol

Need to find a gym from near where I live though before I set up my own...

[Mellos]

Did a quick search for you.
You may want to check out Powerhouse Berlin. It might be more of a bodybuilding place than one for powerlifting or strongman but at least you should only meet people there who take their training seriously.
Or you could try Mc-Fit. They should be well equipped, then again you may have some frustrating encounters with guys curling in the squat rack.

[JP]

been to powerhouse, it was ok, but quite far from where i live and not that suitable. Guys curling doesnt bother me, very little in a gym does

ill check out mcfit thanks!

[JP]
