Love that it has band pegs!
This is my first purchase from Rogue and I can see why they are expensive. This is a solid piece of equipment. The padding is legit.Love that it has band pegs!
Thank you!Nice squatting mate.
Have you always pushed beltless numbers? I really struggle with anything over 220 without my belt.
Thanks Jinxie!Great stuff TGR, tying bench PR and setting new belt less squat PR!

I have had ankle swelling in one or both ankles for about 3-6 weeks. The swelling and uncomfortable feeling that comes with it don’t affect my workouts and aren’t increased by specific workouts. I can’t seem to pinpoint a trigger.
My doctor was not concerned at my last checkup. The only new medicine I’m on is one I started after the swelling started. I’m leaning towards shoe support issues. Some shoes cause a lot of pain on my soles. When I correct them with inserts, the pain is often shifted to the sides of my feet. Maybe this is where the stress hits my ankle?
Adjustments:
1. Pointed my toes out slightly farther than normal. This feels comfortable on my ankles.
2. Slightly moved the bar up my back. This feels better on my elbows and my shoulders. Not enough to be “high bar”
I am posting this so I have something to look back on if this progresses or if I can find a fix.
Some gift bag she was giving had friend. Nothing exciting.What was said gift?
Thank you!Sorry about the ankle. You have been stringing together some solid training JR.
Thanks! I just wish I knew what the cause is so I can correct it. Rest isn’t providing any relief.Nice squats man.
Feeling your pain re ankle problems!!
Hey Mark! Thanks for stopping by to say hi! Hope you and the family are well!Popped back in and see you are back lifting and training. Nice lifts. Happy to see you back at it.
I appreciate you, Jinxie.Sorry about your ankle, but plenty to like here — you seemed to have pushed your bench to the next level (def good for 315), and your busting PRs on squats and DLs! The OHP is next! Keep it up!
Solid advice, thank youI always use an old pair of knee sleeves over my shins, except at competition. I use them in the warmup area and then it’s only 3 pulls with long socks on.
Thank you! The ankle is… not getting worse. Still haven’t found the cause nor a definitive solution.Hope the ankle is doing okay, nice work in here as usual!
Thank you!I love that you incorporate your dog walk into your logs. I have 3 and live in the city so I get it. That’s my cardio haha
i feel your pain.Thank you!
It’s also an accountability thing. I owe her the same opportunity to have the same workout enjoyment that I get. She doesn’t get to choose when, so if I choose one or the other, she comes before my lifts.
I lost a dog a few months ago and I would give anything to take him on another walk. This one is a couple years older, and she’s showing some similar signs that he did. One of her legs didn’t participate during the whole walk today, and I had to carry her about half a block home. She’s 120 pounds, so it wasn’t the easiest.
You know what, F’ it.Try 6s
props to your wife--awesome gift INDEED!!!View attachment 209342
My wife gave me a random, awesome gift. The dog on the left is the one who passed recently. The one on the right passed 8 years ago. My kids.
