the bench im getting is called body solid i think.. not sure if thats a good brand or not i never heard of it

good stuff. I might weigh myself today to see where im at.

Should be fine for what you need it for. They're a happy medium between home and commercial grade

Don't do it its a trap! Got pissed off at the scale last night myself

yea my buddy is practically giving it to me for 50 bucks including all his olympic weights and bar so im not complaining lol

How many lbs of weight? That's a good deal, weights alone go for $.50 a pound

300lbs which is more than enough for me right now lol

Why don't you just join a gym? haha

Skar did you get your belt yet? My rogue belt comes tomorrow.

i dont like people or crowds lol

You'll be pulling that before you know it
Seems most of us have that in common

i doubt it, i probably couldn't even put up my own weight right now lol

Neither do I but you are really selling yourself short by having such a limited amount of equipment.

I guess I feel if I am going to put the work in I want to at least make the best out of my effort.

When I didn't train with other people I would go at like 5am or super late at night and there was like no one there.
Yeap. I literally would never leave my house if I could.lol

Not yet man I'm getting impatient

Holy shit, ups just dropped it off lol

Oh nice how does it look?

Looks like I'll need a purse to match :ghey: lol it looks good man already tried it on can't wait to use it

Get some matching shoes.

did rack deadlifts today. got up to 405 did 5 sets of 8 but fuck my grip just kept going out. Hopefully my weight keeps going up cause I was weak today.

But I did some bent over rows with 225 so that was a good sign! form could of been better but wanted to feel that weight. Broke the lat pull down at the gym lol.

Do you use mix grip, or double overhand?

Buy some chalk if you don't use it already. Your forearms will catch up quickly, just stay away from straps. I used to just load the bar up with weights and hold it as long as possible, and repeat until my grip was completely gone. And how the F did you break the lat pulldown?!

:this-guy:

I want to try messing with my grip on the dl see if anything changes.

I have yet to still push my limits in that lift, one day ill see what I can do lol

very true but i like the comfort of being in my own home, if im not seeing the results i want then ill highly consider joining a gym

What area of "the trap" do you live in? I go to 24hr fitness for that reason, go late have the whole place practically to myself.

I got my gym membership to Golds but still havent gone yet. Still working out at home. I just dont want to be around anyone. Hopefully i can put that to the side and get into Golds.

double over hand for everything Dorian Yates style yo!!! Never did mix grip deads.

Chalk is what I need. I actually feel like I have pretty good grip strength, just sucks that doesnt correlate to forearm size like my friend. Fucker has some gigantic forearms but his grip strength sucks ass lol.

ohh forgot to mention I travel a lot for work. I am currently in nashville right now, so its kinda hard carrying my gym equipment with me. I got more important shit to worry about then my gym shit to be honest.

yuup i do the hook/ I was told it was called olympic grip been doing it ever since I learned and my thumb is numb to it now.

exactly I try to carry the least amount of stuff spec. I travel that much now. Whats nice now is I have like perks and usually can zip through lines cause I get to go through the faster one. I might just end up going back to using the little kids chalk again lol.
