Today is leg day (hit legs twice a week) and belt squats are on the agenda. Gradually increase weight each set while sticking in rep ranges from 6-15)
Legs #2
Belt Squats - 6-7 sets (includes warmup)
Bulgarian split squats with dumbbells - 3 sets each leg
Kettle Bell Swing - 3 sets
Single Leg...
There are eyelets at the end of the jammer arms so could use them to do belt squats but don’t think the lever arm is as good as using the actual belt squat attachment where the pulley comes directly up from where you are standing. However I could use those eyelets to attach chains to modify the...
Have a better system where I use a chain up top (couldn’t find a current pic), but this is basically how it works. Connect to carabiner with belt squat, stand up, unhook the top chain and move it off to the side…then squat.
Don’t need to use an actual belt at top as I found a better way to...
Yeah about a year ago. It works great! I think I posted it on here awhile ago. It’s compact and made by REP. With some modifications I was able to use a hook and chain to allow me to start at the top of the movement. I still do traditional back and front squats but alternate them out to give my...
Ads that get pushed to my feed seem to be more and more effective on knowing what will pull me in. I love more unique and obscure t-shirts and this one just was too good to pass up. Need to up the beard game by growing it out a bit longer than my typical short stubble version that I’ve basically...
Haven’t added much to my garage gym but finally pulled the trigger on some adjustable lever arms. In no way do I think they are essential but rather more of a “luxury” piece that will supplement your staple barbell/dumbbell work. However doing unilateral movements and essentially being able to...
Oh good call with a couple sliced hard boiled eggs. Sometimes I’ll also add in an avocado depending on what sounds good at that time. Love mixing spinach with plain old iceberg lettuce. A large healthy salad with a good portion of protein mixed in definitely helps to regulate and increase...
Also specifically to TRT I’d prefer to see someone that regularly is specialized in it as it seems many general docs just do not know enough to both prescribe the correct dose as well as monitoring regular bloodwork to be sure all looks good. There’s a few online clinics that I’ve heard good...
Right 100%. I know they will continue to drop, and the ability to restart natural production will follow age as well. If levels ever drop to where energy, libido, general feeling of well-being are clear symptoms (or if from my regular blood tests show levels at or sub 300) I will definitely not...
Yeah I used to do it a bit not not regularly at all as when you are young typically gains come easy with hard work and consistency. As I got older realized there needs to be some periodization to keep moving forward! I’ve always have been aware of this strategy but for whatever reason never...
Yeah once you have the history of lifting behind you a template is just that. If you know what you are doing you can tweak them to fit your personal goals/needs!
👍 I haven’t seen his templates but would presume they are very good. It’s a bit refreshing seeing more of an authority figure that not only has the book smarts from the degress, but being able to apply them in the real world. Being one with advanced degrees in exercise physiology, it always...
So just a side comment. Based on my goals I am starting to come to the conclusion that I don’t believe anabolics are really necessary to achieve the “look” I’m shooting for when comparing risks. I do greatly enjoy the increased feeling of well-being, added boost of energy, and the downstream...
By far my favorite is when they have their signature biscuits and gravy which always comes with a side off eggs and sausage/bacon. I’m very particular with gravy as I typically don’t like it. But they make it very similar to my mothers (white and light gravy with some sausage mixed in).
LOL...
I think you hit the nail on the head. I can definitely tolerate profanity but he can be a bit over the top. Constantly seems to talk about being “f-able” and being able to give it to the old lady (in more colorful language). This pattern just carries to just how he talks in general (probably...
Haha so to try and redeem myself from the disgust of the peppermint bark protein powder, I’m switching to something completely different. LOL.
So been under the weather over the past few days (seems a type of flu is definitely going around). I finally got my appetite back yesterday evening and...
