The official gym pic of the day

And you were right about Rogers. I only found it by checking the website. http://www.rogersathletic.com/streng...tallations.asp
I can't believe how many installations they've done. Big money in this stuff.

I've seen one made in the forums before using a sling, I think it was FishPat, and I thought that it was a great idea. Years ago I had a window washers belt made from leather. It was before they used harnesses and it was awesome. I don't know what ever happened to it though.

I think he is dead! He didn't follow our advice, and lifted alone without a Power Rack. See where it got him!

However, tetanus shots are not.

is that an EFS rack? if so which one?

[DamonB82]

Yes, the 3x3 econo rack with weight storage and a few other options

ok i thought it was but i didnt know you could get the monkey chin bar on an econo 3x3rack, or quick adjust safeties. It looks like you got the nicer Jcups. Their econo jcups are horrible, or at least they use to be(see the pic in this thread)

I was half way through deadlift day and I realised that I haven't posted any pics of my new gym setup yet. Its messy, cramped, and cold.... but I get a buzz training in it.



I'll try and take some better pics to put in the stickied thread in the day time, after a little tidy up.

[matrix563]

is that in a basement?

[ProtienandIron]

Its what we call a garage- designed to hold one car, not a f'k*n fleet, you yankees will never understand. Its my home for the next few months until we can find a house to buy.

[matrix563]

i'm pretty sure we call it the same thing here . lol! so you live in a garage with your workout equipment? guess thats fine i do live in a house with my workout equipment

Yeah but the Brits have a funny way of saying garage. . . . P&I I like the mirror. You can have a toss and watch from a different angle!

I'd call what you guys have; hangers, barns, and warehouses lol.

Yep, pronounced Garr-idge, instead of gur-Arge. Not, sure which one of us has it right here. lol



And there was me, using the mirror for technique, when all along I had the perfect mirror for playing tug the slug. When used with my gym timer and squat box, I have the perfect podium for my speed-fapping antics, who knew.

Got myself a squat PR today in my ghetto gym today. Nothing special by most peoples standards, but 3 plates a side is a landmark I've been after for a long time. 140kg (308 lbs). I always use a box to squat to as a depth guage which is 1ft high. The strage configuration of the plates is because I was increasing the weight each set.



This is my 'whiteboard'. The cross indicates a warm up set, long lines are full sets (working 5s at the mo), small lines are singles/triples/doubles. It just helps me keep track of what I've done that workout. I use a diary when outside life is easy, but when life is chaotic, like it is right now, I don't bother.

My set up for squats.
So poverty I put concrete weights in buckets.

Congrats, my friend. Reps on spread.

It's the milestones that keep us pushing to be bigger, stronger, and better than we were yesterday.

If I were there I'd buy you a beer.

Nice P&I... Congrats on the PR. I was confused looking at the plates intially
Whiteboard shows one hell of a workout...!!!

If a Brit squats 3 plates in his temporary gym without actually using 3 plates, did he really squat it?










Great job.

Thanks mate. Six months ago I couldn't even put a bar on my shoulders because of my injury, so it feels good to have done this now. It kind of feels like things are moving in the right direction a little.

Thank hulked, I'm a bit OCD on plates usually. I like having the biggest plates I can get on the bar, and in descending order, but because I'm not using a diary at the moment, I use the plates to track where I'm at. So next session I can strip the last three plates off, and I know thats what I need to be lifting. It works well for me. As for the workout itself, I don't normally go over 5 (working) sets on squats, but when I have time, I like throwing the low rep stuff at the end and building up the weight each set to see where I'm at.

Great job.

LOL, I was expecting to get called out on that. No video, no spoon pic= it didn't happen. Thems the rules. In this case I also ****ed with gravity by putting different plates on the bar. I'm peppering my angus for the neg train.

nice milestone dude

Thanks mate, theres some strong mofos on this forum, but whenever you get a big wheel on the bar, it still makes you feel good no matter how few there are. Its gonna be a long hard push to get the next one, but I'm up for it.
