Training is still inconsistent but I’m in 2-3 times a week. Between hunting season and work projects I have had little time to check in here. Since last checkin I had a high rep bench day, an arms and back day, a shoulder day, and today I squatted and dead lifted. Nothing great, just working on form and hook grip.

Thanks guys, all is well.

Some promotions with work have been keeping me busy and I’ve slowly become not as consistent working out. I actually was planning to start checking in more frequently as my consistency improves.

I’ll make an effort to catch up in your logs this week.

I did incline presses and mobility this evening. Still slowly adding to the home gym:

Put in a weight holder so I can get away from the space taking ground ones. I think I’ll do this on the other side as well

Notes:

I just have to get more reps in. I’m staying low on the sets so I don’t get sloppy and the higher the weight the more stable I feel. It’s just, so heavy to me now.

Dynamic squats. 10x2 w/ 55-60% of current 1rm, performed EMOM. No better way to work your technique and get the work in efficiently. Then take a few heavier singles after and you’ve acquired 22-24 work reps in 16 minutes.

Checking in.

Not as consistent as I'd like to be but I'm working out about 3x a week.

Picked up another power rack, another bar, stone more weight, another bench, and a dip station. Have a multi grip bar coming Wednesday.

The Power track is a weider station that comes with a cable system and fly machine. That, the dip station, and the extra weight was the only reason I purchased it (from Craigslist). Pretty good steal.

I will try and check in on everyone's log sometime today. I really need to get consistent in here - it helps with my motivation.

So are you gonna ditch your old rack or have 2 out there?
Have 2. I’ll never ditch my first. I love it

Edit: There is no comparison between the two. Outside of accessory movements and the cable I’ll likely never use it

Used that bar on Sunday; it’s a good one for variety!
The plan is to use it Saturday. Due to my neighbors sleep schedule and when I lift, Sunday is the designated deadlift day.

Other than a GHR, you have everything I’d want for general training!

I’ll have one of those one day. As I get better stuff I’ll phase out some of the cheaper stuff.

Gym looking great, and FULL!
Thanks!

I have more space here if i make some room. I also have a couple more garages in case I start getting larger equipment. Ideally, I wouldn’t mind having several leg machines in another garage

You need the leg equipment as close to the house as possible, or you won’t be able to make it back inside after

I’ve become more and more consistent.

I have some more quick barbell clamps on the way, some occlusion bands, fat grips, and I’m waiting on some nylon safety strap to make some homemade “Henny Bands”. I think I may be able to make a chest press with it to mimic a leverage press.

To help me get back into the swing of things I'm going back to modified mountain dig training.

Reactive pump + designated deadlift day

Monday - chest/ shoulders heavy
Tuesday - back heavy
Wednesday - legs heavy
Thursday - OFF or active rest day
Friday - chest/ shoulders pump
Saturday - arm pump
Sunday - Deadlifts

I'll replace chains with reverse bands and leg presses with squat belt, unless I actually travel to the gym that day.

Deadlifts up to 365x3 yesterday. I don't feel weak with them but definitely draining.

Diet is low carb most days. Prob 50-75g max. I stay away from all breads because it makes me feel like crap. Most carbs come from vegetables, and pin occasion I'll have a spoon full of lentils or other legumes.

Supplements are:

Coffee every morning.

1 cap Stimul8 about 1 out of every 3 workouts; otherwise the coffee is enough.

10g creatine mono on workout days

1g agmatine 3 on, 1 off. I've been using this for it's contributions to low blood pressure. I truly believe I notice a difference.

CL vitamins and fish oil.

Did I miss something? Why such a low carb diet?

I did keto with success a while back. I don’t want that again because my energy is soooo low. I learned during that process that that I have better energy and feel more alert without certain carbs. I’m not entirely sure *which* certain carbs, so I avoid most of them.
