  1. Beginner advice on equiptment and training

    Update: I joined the closest golds to near me today. I checked into a local power lifting based gym on Monday and it didn't feel right, not a lot of space and honestly it was just a dirty facility. Golds seemed like a perfect fit, while I still feel like my best personal option would be a home...

  2. Morning workout

    Well at 310 I'm usually just hoping my puppy is quick outside. I leave for work at 330 but I'm off at 130 so I'm at the gym by about 2:05. Definitely no time before, but it's always a nice change on the weekend when I start the day with a workout rather than working with 8in steel pipe..( which...

  3. 3x/Week Full Body

    I kind of did the reverse of you. I'm in week five of my starting strength 5x5, and two months ago I was all about total body, and superset workouts. It all depends on what you're going for as far as if it's a "good idea" or not. In the last five weeks I've had the biggest strength gains that...

  4. Morning workout

    Definitely good insight for ways to go about the early workout. I think Sat/Sun I may have a shake before bed and try to workout in the morning without eating more than a banana. After this past Saturdays 8am workout and reading everyone's posts I wish I could do a pre-work lift, but as of right...

  5. Morning workout

    Well it's 7:10am here on the east coast and I'm ready to hit the gym.. At least my mind is. More often than not I'm at the gym after work. So I've had a few full meals, a lot of fluids, and gotten a warm-up (sometimes in the form of a Mockup landmine workout using 3or4 inch steel pipe weighing...

    Yea I haven't done cable crossovers since I learned what they were about six months ago. I no longer focus on any cable work. Only occasional straight bar strict tri pulldowns, pull throughs, and weighted crunches as accessory work. Depending on shipping prices that canton company is pretty...

    Livin the life phat boy! I think the membership mostly pays for all the royalties besides the actual weights and machines. There's a men's and women's gym, Olympic pool with retractable roof, two full basketball courts, a track.. Basically a bunch of **** I'm not trying to pay for.

  8. Beginner advice on equiptment and training

    Of all people my girl told me to check out used stuff, 37.50 though?! I've been tempted to just bring home some steel pipe from work and fab my own rack. As far as a bench I feel that would be right after the rack, and weights. The point where I struggle is right about 6 inches off the chest so...

  9. Beginner advice on equiptment and training

    Thanks paul, everything you said is right about where I'm headed. I found a 500 lb set with a barbell for $580. And squat racks around $500. It'll be a tough hit at first but it'll be worth it when I'd spend that much on a year at the gym. Rest I'd say is the part I need to work on the most but...

  10. Beginner advice on equiptment and training

    I've been back and forth between that and a home gym, the issue is that I work construction and the job I'm at now is an hour west of my house. So I leave work, pass my house, and drive another half hour passed home to the gym. So my day is I leave home at 5am and get home from the gym at...

  11. Beginner advice on equiptment and training

    Ok, so I've been weight training since last October. I started: at about 160lbs, struggled with 115 bench, and had never squatted or done a deadlift. I began with a total body workout modeled after one I got from "Bruce Lee, the art of expressing the human body with dumbells. After about a...

    Guess I'm not lifting heavy, I've been staying around 4-6 reps and this guy wants 68?!
