KBKB- that pic of the moon is awesome!

For anyone that's interested, the Nike Romaleos 2 weightlifting shoes are back in stock at Rogue.
From what I understand, it's just another small production run and they will sell out fast again. After searching for a a pair for 3 months, I went ahead and ordered 2 sizes and will return the pair that doesn't fit as good (because I wanted to make sure that I secured a pair that badly).

Get em while you can if it's something that you're interested in.

All you guys seen these stories on this guy:

http://www.usatoday.com/story/gameon...-arms/1734509/

I wonder what percentage of people believe his claims that he hasn't shot synthol into his arms? Pretty ridiculous looking. Also a fun googling activity just to look at some of the people who have done that; I guess there other weird body dysmorphias than the ones that relate to lifting weights. I just can't relate to any of those weirdos.

Imo, if it's not Synthol, it's something very similar.

WAZZZZZZZUP!

BIG news! Just in time for the new year, my home gym space is about to double!

[RemainDieHard]

By the way, /\ that has been eating up all my time (and $) lately. Still have a ways to go. Just training to maintain lately, and keeping off the holiday pounds. Once the new setup is in full use, I'm going to start training like a madman and getting new PR's before long. I'll finally be able to use my Promaxima lat tower / low row for the first time in like 3 years! lol

[matrix563]

dude how big is it how much was it? totally awesome . are you going to insulate it?

[RemainDieHard]

20'x50'. I wanted wider but the City required some huge clearances. It's a lot bigger than it looks. It's a lot more done than that too. Maybe soon I'll post anther pic with some sort of size reference. Half of it will be insulated which will both gym and shop space. I'm around roughly $20k. If you want more specifics on the prices feel free to PM me.

I make d--- jokes in two threads in response to potential troll posts and get no response from any of the regulars. Better yet, the OP reps me.

sorry, i've been mostly absent lately. i'm almost not a regular anymore- at least as far as posting.

[Accutron]

My post got messed up here and lost the first part...

I can't wear Chucks.. too narrow for me so it's minimalists, Oly shoes or, barefoot. Too cold to go barefoot so the choice was easy for me at that point.
Today was actually my first heavy (relatively speaking) squats and clean and jerk day in Oly shoes... So glad I got them. Set some new pr's.

I remember seeing your form check vid over in exercises.. How's that power clean coming along for you?

Does this work on a p----s? Just askin'. . . . Maybe his abs are big too and the secret is jelqing. Just sayin'.

What's with the jelqing obsession dude, lol ?

[AttyGuy]

I dunno. It just seemed funny and fit what someone was asking about. I guess I use can't put it down, or leave it alone.

ROTF, LMAO.

It's funny, after reading about it I came back to this site and the first question I saw was about grip strength and immediately thought of jelqing. Damn you Atty, now I'm doing it, lol.

[BloodType3R]

<is terrified to "google it".

[Stasher1]

Did a search...followed a link...immediately regretted following AttyGuy's advice.

[BloodType3R]

Just wait till you and the wife have a talk about it...

[AttyGuy]

srs

If that happens, I think you're doing it wrong. . . .

Hah! Don't be hatin' the messenger. I don't make this stuff up, I just report back to you all on it.

Just wait till you and the wife have a talk about it...

Remember, you were doing the search for her benefit, not your vanity.

[BloodType3R]

Hey Atty... Watch my jelqing form check vid?

[Hishiad]

So officially can let the cat out the bag, buffbrown touched me in an appropriate manner today!!!! (my wallet, but it felt so right!)



I'll get some pics up tomorrow or Sunday after I clean things up a bit and get it all setup where I want it. Anyway a few weeks back he sent me a PM about selling his DBs + rack, and I was intrigued...then after asking the all important "What else ya got for sale?" question he made me the offer I could refuse. So spent about 12 hours today (most on the road) driving down to pick everything up.


500 lbs worth of Olympic standard brand plates + a couple 5 pound Ivanko plates
York barbell
Another barbell (no name)
3 tier DB rack
Various DBs all the way up to some beasty 100lbers that the wife is still trying to convince me to sell cause I don't need that much weight and what am I going to do with it lol
4 thick/heavy as sin stall mats
TRX training system
Skorcher brand glute ham raise bench



So I'm pretty well set for awhile

About dem dumb bells...
Goblet squats, calf raises, shrugs, etc.

There's always an excuse, erm.. reason for the equipment.
