gphagan1 replied to the thread GP’s Old Man With A Plan Log.Ha, I realized I had been saying my guy bought the gym 5 years ago, but he bought it in 2018. I joined in 2017…the first owner gave a deal to our employees of $15 a month. Then in 2018 when my guy...

amen to that, and regardless of where the numbers come in, he won't be worse off. It just gives his training a purpose and he gains the experience he can carry with him whether he decides to keep...

That’s so true. We are the ones setting the standards for ourselves, and it’s entirely arbitrary. I wanted a lifetime deadlift PR this meet. But my back delayed my training such that I am really...

we tend to be much harder on ourselves cause we are all lifetime gym rats. I have seen people sign up for their first gym membership and 2 months later sign up to go to an event where they humbly...

Honestly I 100% think you should do it. You've been toying around with the idea of a competition for a while and this would give you a focused timeline to work towards and experience to determine...

gphagan1 replied to the thread GP’s Old Man With A Plan Log.This is the first machine he bought 8 years ago brand new…. I think it was like $20,000 or something like that. The Matrix Multi Station 8 stacks….a really awesome machine. When we saw that we...

gphagan1 replied to the thread GP’s Old Man With A Plan Log.Ha, some of the equipment in the gym when he bought it seemed like it was old as me. JK😜

Anything for $10/month is a good deal in 2026, and I mean that genuinely. It’s hard to find a daypass for that price anymore.
-
gphagan1 replied to the thread GP’s Old Man With A Plan Log.Oh yeah $10 is a great price. Yeah when he bought the gym, 8 years ago it had a lot of older wore out equipment, and the setup was horrible. So he started fixing equipment, getting rid of bad...

It is funny when I see how many HS machines I am lucky enough to have access to in in my commercial gym. I think the only back machine we don't have is the low row, and we have all of the pressing...

I think for what you have going on the idea of just keep doing what you are doing but add in a 36hour fast once every 7-14 days and you will be able to stay right in the money area.

Great news! I am going for my MRI tomorrow at 1:00PM, my boss is letting me work from home tomorrow so I can be closer to the facility and miss less work, so that is a plus. I am happy to be...

.Squats are my weak link and would be nice after 3 years to have another break through.

Thanks all!! Just need to have a good lifting day at the meet and hopefully some PRs fall.

ONE bars are definitely good in a pinch and usually pretty easy to find while traveling.
-
maybe! yesterday I was reminded of the skill required to manhandle heavy OHP, not just the strength. I had lost my balance or breath (or both?) on rep 5 again, brought it back to the bottom...

Congrats on that bench PR, things are getting exciting!

My argument would be that you are part of the way there and while some refeeding and some rest is going to be well earned …. We are only getting older and if it’s obtainable it’s going to be...
