I have some but it probably has nanobots in it because there were chemtrails in the air over the shop

I know being a bit run down used to take off a rep or so when I was lifting (probably noticed it most on squats) but I've never felt so below par as on the C2.

I'm the person selling that bar and it is indeed all stainless, and if I say so myself, in great condition!

I was tempted to make an offer- just not the right time for me. Good luck with it. Great bar.

Bulgarian split squats, 1.5 rep heavy goblet squats and barbell RDL are the main movements in my current lower body day.

I always miss bilateral squats when they're not in a program, but they've been there for at least the last 3 months, and DeFranco is adamant about rotating them out now and again. This is just for a four week block.

Bulgarian split squats and anything involving a 1.5 rep scheme don't really feel like much of a break, but I guess in loading terms they are.

Alf Veedersane

Most leg work I'm doing now is unilateral because the last couple of years left me with a bigger imbalance than I had realised.

That said, barbell RDLs have been probably most effective at addressing the weaker muscles in my hip that made it unstable...well, a level of instability I only picked up on when I went back to single leg DLs.

Brian?

Forget your hypertrophy programs; nothing provides a sick arm pump like carrying a tired toddler around the zoo.

I developed my isometric arm strength about 300% from having kids. Not joking.

Anyone ever try MyProtein's gym gear?

its nothing special just bulk orders with their brand name added, better off getting gear from temu tbh unless you want to wear the brand name

Quiet Achiever

No interest in brand name, thanks :)

Mr. CooL ICE

I have their ankle socks. They're comfy. But I only got them to make the free delivery.

gym got a new toy, not used it yet but should be fun, I guess one advantage is you dont have to load plates

I used the "Torque Tank" yesterday, first thoughts, ease of use great no plates to load, its a smooth and well built piece of kit, downside not sure how to gauge work done except in general terms, I used to do a routine last year basically 30 rounds of 20mtrs in 30 minutes, so my only variable was the weight and I like incremental progress "did more than last week". This only has 4 or 5 settings but it also increase resistance with speed. Getting my endurance back to 30 will keep me going for a while, but I'd prefer if it tried to replicate KG added, like 10kg to 200KG and plug the number in you are going for
