Yeah get a rack bro. You can use it for everything, then just get a good bar and some weights and you're ready to go. I'd get a dl bar because you can squat with it too but you can't dl with a squat bar unless you want to destroy your hands.

What would be a good price to cop this barbell set? Plates are 4 x 15lb; 4 x 10lb; 4 x 2.5lb (total 110lbs)

Don't waste your money.

Theres a difference between dl bar and squat bar? Srs question. The gym i go to just has those standard bars that r 45lbs (same one thats used for bench).

The whip at the end of the bar.

You don't really want the weights spinning at the end of the bar.

Unlike, cleans and snatch.

There's some other reason, like the handling and grip. Etc.

Gotcha, that makes sense.

Learn something new everyday. Thanks

I was referring to the aggressive knurling on a squat bar that sucks to dl with.

My gym has 2 pools (1 for laps the other is a wave pool). The weightroom is upstairs and has windows overlooking the pool. Few days ago i was just randomly looking out the window at the pool and there was like 6 or 7 people in the deep end of the pool in full scuba gear. Might have been a class or something but **** looked dope af.

Nah, flippers are just an easy way out.

Best leg workout = grab a board and just kick doing laps like this --

 

[tdogg2k]

srs?

 

[slighted]

srs?

Very serious.

It's an isolation exercise that works just your legs/hips. Try 20 laps doing freestyle kick with the board and keep your head above water. Your back, thighs, and derriere will hurt so good.

Sure do fly through the water with them. Everytime I did it though the bottom of my foot would cramp up like a mfer and I would start drowning in the middle of the pool lol.

Not srs about the drowing but y'all know how that hurts. And it can't just wait till I'm at an end of the lane

Edit: and yes swimming with just your legs and the board is a killer leg workout

 

[cs02132]

Just deadlifted for the first time in prob 4 years. did 6x5 starting with 25s on each side and worked my way up to 225x1

Felt good . I was prob 20 last time I DLed so I think my man strength kicked in now that I'm 24 . I used to be super dedicated and could barely do 235x1

 

[Grine]

Smh . Couldn't do multiple sets of 300lbs. Just wasn't feeling it.. Smh. Embarrassing. Got 2 reps in and had to rack it.

Bench 265lbs 5x2

Did this ridiculous workout:

25 Deadlidt @ 135
25 Burpees
25 Push Press @ 95
800m run
25 Push Press @ 95
25 Burpees
25 Deadlifrs at 135
800m run

[Rumble Gang]

What are some good body weight exercises? I only know push ups, sit ups and dips. My gym closed for the next 10 days for some annual maintenance. Also a possibility i might do a bid in the near future. Tryna think ahead and build a workout program for myself.

Thanks guys. Ima use these while the gyms closed and create a plan for myself.

But then HIT circuits in there too

 

[para bellum]

Need some advise. So I feel I'm in a tough spot. I'm only 5'11, 150, but feel out of shape, and want to cut down on my body fat. Particularly upper body.

What do you guys think is the best approach for someone in my position?
