Any other gym rats out there?

Cool thread

 

[Lordhooha]

proud to say that I submitted a video to those guys last year and they published it

This is why I bought my own stuff for home use idiots like this always broke shit. I just called up technogym and got a few things from them and a full dumbbell rack off of Craigslist from a local gym that was upgrading.

Are any of you guys into powerlifting? I plan to compete in Masters 1 next year. Before my medial epicondyle injury I was at 505dl, 315bp, and a sad 355 squat at 164lb bw. I’m a lanky 5’11” (all limbs no torso, hence the shitty squat).

Ive been doing Athlean X's "6 min" workout series for about a month straight and im seeing results. Before that Ive been working out consistently for a whole year. I havent been doing weight lifting because I had a back and foot problem but now I got them under control somewhat. Now I want to build muscle/ What do you guys think about him? I was looking into buying his bodyweight program or his muscle building program.

I use to lift super heavy back before the ban on prohormones and such and I was still in the service. My best bench was 405 but that was back in 2007-2008 deployment when we were doing nothing but working out and working. I’m only 5’6” so I have that power due to no havining to move as far.
Hell I was on anabolicminds.com all the time I had companies that would send out a bunch of freebies and I’d log them there all the time.

I’ve never seen his programs but I’ve definitely seen some great content from him. I’m willing to bet that his programs are fantastic

Db curls I’m back to 75’s but I can only do 2 or 3 proper form then I’m back to 50’s lol

Ok gym rat might not be accurate YET, I'm still saving to get to the gym, but I started hitting the weights about six months back bought my own dumbells have had a bench and bag for years that were gathering dust but now after six months I average 800-1000 reps a set, all upper body work (I haven't got any leg equipment and HATE squats lol another reason to get into the gym) I'm just curious how many other smokers out there still try to take care of themselves or on the other side believe that they wouldn't be able to BECAUSE they smoke weed (which I can say from experience is bullshit, apart from when you pick up that bong instead of those weights lol which DOES happen) so this post is I guess both to find like minded people on here and also maybe give a few people the motivation to start hitting the gym

Ran 17km today...

In supine? You’re strong brother.

 

[Lordhooha]

No just standing straight or seated.

 

[Lordhooha]

Hell never thought I was strong growing up. I didn’t know until I left home. I do love using my training mask too really ups the difficulty. But I do a lot of push ups and dips mostly calisthenic exercises with my weight vest.

Best ones ever are from weightvest.com

I mean your hand position - like pronated, supinated (palms out), or neutral (hammer curls)

Oh lol I thought you meant the literal definition. Palms out. Hammer curls are far easier to do at that weight.

Yeah man, 405 bench and 75lb supine curls, you’re strong. It took me 2 years to deadlift 405 lmao

I just figure it’s due to being shorter an having leverage lmao. Taller guys have to move it further lol disadvantages on both ends of the spectrum.

I used to hang at a lot of boxing gyms in the day, as a gambler doing homework, not as a participant. Does that get any cred on this thread?
