This is my baby wipes are a lifter’s best friend. The dumper juices"Juices flowing from somewhere besides my dumper" .
$hit got real. Work was not fun that day lol"Juices flowing from somewhere besides my dumper" .
Go on....Speaking of juices flowing I did a thing today....
PM’d. Log going up shortly.Go on....
But I did 2 full sessions mirror image! Dont shortchange me!I only "liked" the first post, cause I don't do sloppy seconds....
Awesome dude, I'm jealous! Wish I had a place like that near me!So wow, I feel like a kid who just discovered his first boner. New gym confirmed! Just blown away by everything. Monolifts, belt squat, reverse hyper, chains, bands, proper platforms for bands, ssb, transformer bar, Swiss bars, hydraulic leg press thingy, machines I have no idea what they are, logs, rings, sleds... sharks with friggin laser beams!
I am so stoked to finally have access to some nice tools, this is the entrance to next level. Everybody there super cool and training hard. I have never seen a gym like this. Game on.
I definitely found a hidden gem. So close to my house too it’s sick lol. 5 mins away this whole time....Awesome dude, I'm jealous! Wish I had a place like that near me!
Will try not to break myself off... not too hard anywaysJust don't break anything there.
This is exactly what I need. But that equipment tho!The reality is the equipment is just a bonus. If anything there takes you to a higher level, it will be the atmosphere. A competitive or encouraging gym is a good driver for results.

Yeah I know, I remember my first tasteThis is exactly what I need. But that equipment tho!
Thanks! Yeah she is a handful, pit/lab mix. Damn thing is solid muscle already at 9 weeks old. Personality for days and that’s why we got her.Wowwww. What a cute pup that is! I want a chocolate lab so bad. Another couple of years once i have a place for it to run around.
That reverse hyper lit me up nice. Really felt it in the hams the last set (heaviest). I need to use GHRs again, it’s been forever.I haven’t had access to the reverse hyper for a long time honestly, but I think it’s a good way to get extra posterior volume in. Honestly I feel the extra GHR work I have been incorporating this last year has really filled that role well (albeit more hamstring focused).
Is that a no-name SSB or the Elite FTS Yoke bar? We have the Yoke bar and it’s definitely a little easier than some of the no-name ones I’ve used at past gyms. Sweet bar.
Hmmm, I have done zero Hatfield’s in my life. Added to my long list of squat stuff lol. Belt, camber bar, Hatfield, in that order on the menu.Hatfield squat ain’t that hard. I’ve done like 535 in sleeves when my backsquat was like 455. You can totally get there!
Imagine getting to use your lats to help pull you up as you squat - it’s a tremendous help, and a lot of fun. I did it one time Max Effort with another guy at the gym and it was a blast. Pretty easy on the back too because you can force yourself to stay upright. Would definitely recommend playing with it as an accessory or ME move.Hmmm, I have done zero Hatfield’s in my life.

Haven’t really got into a strict scheme of things yet as I’m still feeling out all these new Xmas presents. Next week or two will be more structured.
Seems like cheating! Yeah I am giving these a go in an upcoming session soon.Imagine getting to use your lats to help pull you up as you squat - it’s a tremendous help, and a lot of fun.

Actually, I should break these out for some rep work! Like a poor kid smith squat combined with lat pressdowns.
If you read into Dr. Fred Hatfield’s work, he was a huge proponent of power-bodybuilding, and he was big on getting muscle volume acquired through safer means than the comp moves. While his meet prep cycles were extremely comp-specific, he recognized it did well to give the low back a break in off-season cycles.Seems like cheating!

Exact a mungo
I’ll give it some research. I’m still noob but desire to learn is like a fire.If you read into Dr. Fred Hatfield’s work, he was a huge proponent of power-bodybuilding, and he was big on getting muscle volume acquired through safer means than the comp moves.

He would pull exclusively on the trap bar outside of meet prep and did a lot of squat volume with the safety bar and used his hands on the rack to keep him upright. Legs get yoked and back doesn’t get so trashed. He was also big on leg pressing. Guy was an animal, the greatest squatter of his time and doing it at 45 years old. Very intelligent coach as well. Josh Bryant learned a lot of what he coaches from Dr. Squat.
