That's good. My chest has definitely increased in size (has to when I had trouble benching 50kg past 4 reps and now bench 70kg for 6) and my back muscles have thickened quite a bit (along with increases in arm size) but this gut fat I've had for years now just needs to go. Still have a size 32 waist, same as when I was a skinny 16 year old at 67kg, but I currently weigh 83kg XD

You're mixing units of measure.

I know it's far from amazing but for me a PB of 8x 100kg deads, feeling good about it. It was basically a rest/pause set, but on a cut I'll take whatever I can get

I just love how it relaxes my mind, but also works my core. I truly believe that doing this once a week will help me get over all the drama in my life and give me that oh so desired six-pack for when beach season comes around.
Currently on a cleanse-program, similar to a soul-program but with less focus on volume.
I do:
3x10 hymns
3x12 back bends (2 extra reps to feel the burn and really clear the mind)
3x10 poor-form-sit-ups (gotta get those abs right!?)

As soon as I hit a plateau on drama-clearing I might start a course of CityJam or Zumba as it seems much more energetic and really tones your backside.

I'm going to be moving to Utrecht in the near future and I'm already looking for a gym (can't really fit my squat rack and bench in a student's dorm). So far it's all shite. It seems all gyms are aiming for the (middle-aged) women and casual yoga crowd. They're all like shiny new clubs with their useless workshops to 'tone' your body for the summer or  'keep you healthy and fresh in 15 min!'.
Smoothie bars, CityJam, Body-Jam, Poweryoga, Bodysculpting, Turkish baths, I don't even know what most of the things are, yet I will be paying for it whilst only using their (most likely) mediocre weight-room.

Shocking, I believe you've got some experience with this city. Any recommendations?

All-inn in de vlampijpstraat used to be an oldschool bodybuilding gym. It's supposed to be pretty good, should have all you need. Apart from that there's olympos for students which is sort of decent if you're there at times when there's nobody else (for squat rack use etc), like early in the morning. I train there these days.

Besides this most of it is shite yeah. Haven't really found anything that's really good so far (I've been gym-hopping for much of the last year or so). There's a gold's gym in nieuwegein tho, but it takes a while to get there. I also heard of a new gym opening somewhere around the IBB that's attracting some attention. No idea what it looks like and if it's any good tho.

Many of the gyms you're talking about also complain if you make too much noise dropping weights on the floor. good luck deadlifting heavy without making noise.

All-inn is quite close to the dorm I might move into so if it does turn out to be a decent gym that would probably be the way to go. There's also Train More, which recently opened right on Drift. I'm going to walk inside one of these days to have look, considering they're quite cheap and it being a brand new gym is a nice little bonus.
olympos is still quite pricey from what i understand, even if you are a student. It's also quite far away from the dorm and I do work out at those peak gym hours.

Thanks for the advice

Ya they tell you it's really cheap if you come often but after training for free once they'll say they 'forgot' to mention that the first 3 months (or more) you pay 43 euros a month after which you pay like 8-15 euros/mo. Wasn't enthusiastic about the weight room either.

Olympos is 15 eur/mo if you got a year subscription. I live about 5 mins from it by bike so avoiding peak hours is np.



Oh I'm just seeing this question now:

I'm starting uni again for the first time in a year and a half.
Haven't a clue on what's good to bring with me for lunch. I've got my own homemade protein bars, so i guess i'll take one of those with me. But what are my options in terms of actual food? It has to be easy to prepare and i need to be able to keep it in my bag. Naturally it shouldn't require any kind of heating or cooling.

Shocking, I believe you're atteding (or attended) the university of Utrecht. What can you tell me about it that might help me with this? Is it possible to heat up food there or maybe some info on what's good in the cafeteria?

cafeteria is shit. and expensive. I don't really bring lunch because I have only like 4 lectures a week 2 hrs each spread out on different days, so I just eat at home and I'll be back before I get hungry again.

If you have to bring lunch though I guess tuna / peanut butter sandwiches are the way to go. If you got time between lectures there's the 'broodje ben' stand on the oudegracht which is pretty good. It's about 10 mins walk from the drift. Or you could go to one of mario's stands.
