Need some critique but I’m working w what I got for equipment. When I switched to full body 3x I saw insane progress and I’m loving heavy compounds for low rep range. But recognize I’ve been at it about 6mo and should probably switch up soon.
Landon Brooks
just do starting strength
Gabriel Hernandez
Why do people load the barbell outside of the cage?
Nicholas Scott
how much are you squatting for Squat 1x5max or 1 rm?
Charles Bell
Greyskull but about to swap because once a week DL progression can't keep up with the double squat progression.
Still trying to find another set of 45's.
Saw some nigger bitch on FB selling her whole man's gym. Nigger even had a leg press that had 8 45's alone and she refused to sell me a set because she wanted it ALL gone in ONE sale.
Fucking niggers.
Oliver Lewis
Couple things.
1. Why no deadlifts? It's not exactly a problem, I'm just curious.
2. What exactly is the point of the friday squat and bench 5rm maxes?
Eli Sanders
What retard sold a barbell and 500 lbs of weights for 500$? I call bullshit unless you bought it in 09
Landon Kelly
$1 per lb. 545lbs but paid $500. Hell, if anything OP got ripped off for not paying $0.8 per lb for used equipment retarded DYEL.
Tyler Diaz
Nigger were you absent the last 2 years? People can still easily sell their weights for 2$/lbs, let alone any halfway decent barbell. That alone is at least 200$, or will be when the shit one he got bends
Nathaniel Hall
That was 2 years ago. Now, everyone that bought weights, racks and equipment are trying to sell them.
Nice try DYEL.
Nathaniel Morales
because strength equipment is bulky and wives perceive them as *dangerous* you can often get them for real bargains.
You know, a guy selling at an ideal time because he chooses to, he sets the price, and he knows the worth. But when a wife gets involved, it's a different story.
Remember that if you ever want to make money flipping motorbikes during wedding season.
Justin Morgan
Not for MAYBE 1/3 of the cost they bought it for, that barbell does look shitty though
I'm not a cuck though and I buy what I want and my wife doesn't care because it's my money
Robert Torres
Yeah, *you* aren't. But I'm sure you agree, that isn't the case with every craigslist seller.
Chase Johnson
we need the picture of the power rack going up through the cieling
Jonathan Ramirez
You got a point. Do you guys ever meet men like that and you just want to kick their ass for being so weak?
Jason Edwards
Sure, but I ain't gonna if I'm forking over cash with a deficit in the actual value of the item.
Oliver Peterson
Right now my 5RM is 355 trying to increase by around 5lbs per week or every other week. Haven’t tried a 1rm yet
Oliver Taylor
I got a good deal from a power lifter who had bought a brand new set of Olympic plates and bars. These weights are mismatched brands and old as is the bar but gets the job done. Guy wasn’t a Jew I guess. And I check Craigslist literally daily for cars(flipper) and weights
Ayden Ramirez
Is the squat and bench programming based on Texas Method?
Anthony Gutierrez
Yep basically what I’ve been running a variation of Texas method. Looking for some advice on how to tweak it or swap to another program for a few months
