If you go into the sanctuary you can't get the rona.So this morning I read that church’s are able to run as usual. What like sick people don’t go there. You can’t catch this **** there. Total bull ****
Looking for a good adjustable bench without paying Rogue’s priceLA fitness just shut down today too.
Ordered db’s and a bench.
Check out titan fitness or rep fitnessLooking for a good adjustable bench without paying Rogue’s price
I bought from amazon. Think the brand name is marcy.Looking for a good adjustable bench without paying Rogue’s price
Second this. I love my Rogue stuff, but Titan typically has a good similar piece that is way cheaper.Check out titan fitness or rep fitness
I have a Flybird folding adjustable bench that does incline, flat, and decline. I weigh ~160, and have done incline presses with at least 100lb dumbells on it no problem. It says 620lb capacity online. But it just went OOS on Amazon. It was $180 a few days ago, normally ~$150, and I think I picked it up on sale for ~$130 a while back.Looking for a good adjustable bench without paying Rogue’s price
I love my Titan Fitness spinlock dumbbells and curl bar. If their bench is the same level of value and quality, that’s awesome.Second this. I love my Rogue stuff, but Titan typically has a good similar piece that is way cheaper.
That’s made by Titan?View attachment 192371
Some pictures of the folding bench. It does fold a bit more compactly (the legs can touch), I just didn’t completely close it when the pictures were taken.
No. My bad. The dumbbell handles and curl bar I have are. The bench is made by Flybird, who is sold on Amazon. It was available with Prime, but it’s currently unavailable.That’s made by Titan?
How do people get food? I'd imagine a large portion of people don't have sufficient food to last even a week.The UK is on FULL lockdown no, so no gyms / leaving the house - If it hasn't happened in your area, I would start thinking of ways to keep the gains now. If anyone has any idea's would be great to get a thread going.......
We can go food shopping, to work and one hour exercise a day with one other person or any people in your householdHow do people get food? I'd imagine a large portion of people don't have sufficient food to last even a week.
Ok, then lots of places in South Florida seem to be doing similar things, where only "essential businesses/services" are open.We can go food shopping, to work and one hour exercise a day with one other person or any people in your household
That’s the way it is here in Michigan alsoOk, then lots of places in South Florida seem to be doing similar things, where only "essential businesses/services" are open.
I never thought I'd be drooling over some pictures of some rusted weights, but here I am...View attachment 192243View attachment 192244View attachment 192245
Decent back workout in. Little bit inside and some out side. I knew there was a reason I kept these rusty plates
I’m hearing this may go on Facebook Neil the end of June now.We have all this bollocks prolonged till April 30th so yeah... effing great
Unless you're an elite-level athlete with a very substantial muscle mass, you can actually probably maintain pretty easily with a good home gym. Granted, legs will likely be the hardest to keep if you don't have a good rack and a fair bit of weights, but everything else shouldn't be too hard to maintain with a good set of adjustable dumbbells and an adjustable bench, and a place to do pullups (with added resistance if needed).End of June!! There is only so much a home gym can maintain muscle. I did have a full rack and platform on order, but the company cancelled it as they couldn't fulfil the order I have noticed the Guerrilla Chemist has some interesting research on supplements that help to maintain muscle mass
Yea, 100% agreed on keeping muscle mass. I think it's more the "hardness" look that will be harder to keep, which can only be obtained from supps or heavy weights. Tbh if we were actually able to buy weights over here, I would be fine, but everything is sold out or people are selling rust bits of metal for £1000+. For Legs I have been doing pram walks with my little one and tbh this is the most my calfs have grown hahahahahaUnless you're an elite-level athlete with a very substantial muscle mass, you can actually probably maintain pretty easily with a good home gym.

Edit: also, could you link me to the info from GC you're talking about? I know he's had some, "questionable" doses of anti-catabolics in some of his products, so I'm curious to see what he's recommending here.
I think there might be some crossed wires? I did post some info on those ingredients and Ecklonia cava in the follidrone thread. In a nutshell, they all shared commonalities (glucose disposal agents with antiviral properties, including but not limited to respiratory tract infections like flu).Yea, 100% agreed on keeping muscle mass.

On the GC, yea some of it is very questionable but... for the cheap price of some of the products I might give them a try, the link it on his instagram. Or I was reading through some more threads on here and a guy called @Maximiliaan who posted some interesting research and info on oxymatrine and berberine.
Ya I understand it sucks losing the gym, but I feel most shouldn't see any real issues. Especially considering the amount of researching increasing on how higher rep and lower weight training can still help build muscle to a similar degree.Unless you're an elite-level athlete with a very substantial muscle mass, you can actually probably maintain pretty easily with a good home gym.

This is a good point. With a normal 6-12 rep range, there usually isn’t too much pain, but with high reps, half the set is a mental battle, and you can end up leaving a lot more in the tank if you don’t really push yourself.Ya I understand it sucks losing the gym, but I feel most shouldn't see any real issues.

I think more of the issue will be that having to do this higher rep training can SUCK and despite how hard core most people think they are the level of pain getting towards failure and hitting the adequate reps and volume can be brutal.
