[DonRafa]

[Beruseruku Desu]

time to touch some real weights again.
Eventually I’ll purchase 1 pair of 45s and another pair of 55s.

 

[Beruseruku Desu]

thankful I can still squat 410 even after not squatting for 2 weeks. It wasa grind though.

Local suppliers are even out.
Home gym was always thought about but who knows how long this goes on. Mats, foldable rack, iron weights (they were out of rubber and competition plates are expensive AF), 1000lb capacity bar (out of standard bar), adjustable bench, 25lb kettlebell, weighted vest - all in about $1100.
Good quality stuff and I’ve been to several gyms they outfitted.

This will do.

getback are those mats you got from amazon spongy? Like if I deadlifted will my feet sink into the mats?

I wouldn't deadlift on them. I've squatted on them so they're pretty stable for your feet. But if you drop plates they'll puncture. If you're gonna DL on them, buy one harder mat (like a horse stall mat) to put on top for added protection.

Or you could use something like this for the whole area. These are similar to what you'd find in a commercial gym. They have an interlocking style too.

Everybody have a good Saturday fitness wise?

 

[tdogg2k]

what's the difference between the squat poles you have to kinda deadbolt in to walls and the squat cages price wise?
which is better if you're not getting the expensive heavy duty cage

got some squats in. skipped cardio again cuz f it

 

[Beruseruku Desu]

For one maybe the squat reach bolted into the walls has a much less weight capacity?
Also no safety pins if you fail but you can just throw the weight off your back.

correct me if I’m wrong as these are just my assumptions

yessir

insanity followed by big upper body

finished w some arm burnouts

this quarantine got me going harder than ever

 

[ajiiiplatinum]

I have Insanity but interested in something that is more muscle building/ resistance training.
Anyone have any 20/30min youtube videos?
Thougts on Peloton vids?

Are pushups all we got to keep muscle if we dont have weights?

 

[maicolkickhead]

Peloton is great. Couple weeks ago they were having 3 months free so I hoped on that. They have hundreds of strength workouts. Worth checking out

What’s the deal with the 55 lb plates? My gym just got some. I’m used to 45 lb so I was surprised when I saw them

just another option?

in powerlifting competitions they use calibrated 25kilo (55lb) plates as the starting plate. The weight is distributed more towards the center of your body so it hits different. This isnt the same case for 55lb bumper plates though.

 

[ahat]

Oh its lit

Whole lot of skipping, body weight stuff, shadow boxing, band work, and using the reflex ball.

Been throwing combos using the resistance band. Hands are moooving

 

[aNYone]

What is that?

If i had more space the possibilities would be endless

I know my dude suavamente has one. Havent seen him post in a while either, hope hes good out there

 

[tdogg2k]

random but if I have berber carpet do I really need the mats in the basement? I'm assuming under the berber is the lining and concrete since it's a walk down basement. lift wise from the ground I only plan on doing deadlifts and even then I dont go heavy enough to where i need to drop them from waist level.
or just get some mats for when I do deadlifts I can do it off the Matt's. not line the whole section off with it just for the squat rack and bench

Yessir I feel like I got my momentum back..... gym closing/quarantine life had me in a slump mentally. Felt like being lazy and doing nothing. but I’m getting it in now.
