24/7 squatting surely??

Enjoy bluey - I'm well jel. Where did you get your bar and plates?

Did order a bench myself and it just arrived, as I don't actually have kitchen chairs or anything so the sofa or squishy office chair just wasn't working for anything seated or Bulgarian split squats etc.

coffee_cake

Got em from blkbox! Bench is what I am missing but I'll make do

coffee_cake

Weights arrived ahhhhh just about enough room aha haha I don't have the squat stands yet but I'd say they were a good choice there won't be room for anything else
Did a few tester sumos
So happy

You got the bar and 100kg?

coffee_cake

Yep the bar and 100kg. A pair of 2kgs is on the way as finding 1.25 or 2.5 anywhere for non extortionate got me nowhere. Pair of collars on the way as well.
I was thinking about your deadlift jack and you have me considering it now as well. I always use the rack to load and unload and it's a nuisance not having it

Keep doing a few more tester sumos every time I pass the room

Dtp1979

The only full bar jack I could find online was 200. There’s half jack options but I’m too precious for that so I said I’d spoil myself

coffee_cake

Okay we'll put that back on the wishlist so...

Notions :P (In fairness you are lifting heavy enough to warrant it!)

I’m lifting lazy enough to warrant it. Ah, when I joined my new gym and used one for the first time a few weeks ago, I fell in love.

With the fanciness of your home set-up you will have to start offering memberships for the rest of us post-lockdown :pac::pac:

Bluey will too by the sound of it - The OH Bluewolf Fitness Furnace

You could get a mini jack for £45 or even just a wedge to about £18....if you don't just want to use the small plates as a wedge.

coffee_cake

Ah i have like an old notebook as a wedge for the outside plates. It's the inside 20s that are a nuisance

Gym 28 10 deadlifts day

Deadlift 3 x 2+2 @ 6 rpe "fairly easy like a warm up weight" try 100kg
Today i did sumo instead of conv. Sent my tester reps to coach and apparently they look solid with a bit less sitting back required. Also absolutely no lower back tightness with them. So might as well run with it for the moment. They were always about level with conventional

Tempo Bench 3 x 6 floor press
40kg??? Yes 40kg not Tempo tho
Man I can't wait for the 2kgs plates

Skulls 2 x 3/fail 8-15
7.5 kgx2 2x8

Row 3 x 3/fail 8-15
7.5kg 3x12


Took an hour and a quarter mostly due to faffing around with setup and camera angles. Super happy to be working hard at it.
Coach gonna mix up the program to adapt. Can't waiiiit for squat stands

Alf Veedersane

That's pretty cool your sumo and conventional are pretty close.

I don't think I gave sumo a fair crack of the whip.

I was getting knee pain because I was allowing my right knee come in a little. It's all moot now because my hip says no but I look back at how nice it looked the day I said I'd just see where I could go with sumo and got a decent number that I didn't think I'd get.

coffee_cake

Pffft. All ye need are push ups and pistol squats barefoot outdoors in the wind and rain and none of this fancy stuff like indoor squat racks I'm not jealous whatsoever. No.

Second DTP - Pics must be had so I can squat vicariously through you at least

Enjoy the gainz!

coffee_cake

Gym 31 10 misc

Hb Tempo squats
60kg 3x6
Gravity is high today. Like. Super high

Bench
30kg 5x11

Sumo DLs
Only a few like 80kg x 5. My bar loading problems have been solved as the stands have teeny safeties on them I can rest the bar on. Teeny in that I don't understand how they would actually help a fail but glad they're there to load with

Maybe bc i ate a giant brownie before lifting and needed a sugar nap. Was planning on lunges and rows but eh.
Glad to get work in. It's funny bc i was only saying to coach the other day hey let's program 5 days and now I'm like this is haaaard
Yay for lockdown lifting tho

coffee_cake

Got a new coffee syrup yesterday evening and didn't have the sense to try it with decaf so I think i got to sleep at 3am and I'm all messed up now

Gym 04 11 deadlifts

Deadlift 3 x 2+2 @ 6 rpe

Super stiff and barely parallel depth on squats today despite doing extra stretching. And still only 70kg as didnt think id be up to 80. Which is all frustrating

coffee_cake

more fwd lunges 30kg 3 x 10-20
14, 10, 13
Leg Curls:
banded setup
3x 12

Coach suggested a banded setup for the leg curls as i was at a loss. Hooked the bands around a couple adjacent door handles and it worked perfectly
I think my quads are going to fall off from all the lunges

He's agreed to a 5 times a week program, not sure if that's 5 days' work or 4 spread across 5. We'll see! Exciting
I suspect tomorrow might be approaching "everything hurts and I'm dying" with all the forward lunges :pac:

Dtp1979

What did your body do to you that you had to punish it so bad today. Good luck sitting on the toilet mon morning, or sitting in general

caviardreams

Do share the leg curl hack please - it's only fair we all share in your DOMS :-)

Single leg glute bridges will do a number on you.

I am happy to report zero doms
Still laughing at dtp taking that workout so personally or something

I can't describe it any better than tying the bands around two door handles, lie down, hook the heel under, leg curl

You have no business having no doms after that workout!
