    Belt Squat - New addition and setup

    Yep exactly. Just reattach then you are free to release the carabiner attached to the belt squat. 👍

    Belt Squat - New addition and setup

    Hi all! Been a bit crazy here at home so haven’t been on as much as I’d like. Wanted to share my new toy. I ended getting a belt squat attachment that was designed specifically for my rack (REP 5000). The benefits were that it’s easily removable and doesn’t take up much space and that it hooks...

    Landmine Setup for Viking Shoulder Press

    Ha yeah it can be a bit too much sometimes, so just go with the lights staying solid occasionally. The kids of course love them so they always are in action when they “workout” out there. So far my oldest son is the main one that is really getting out as he is 13, my daughter is close behind but...

    Landmine Setup for Viking Shoulder Press

    Tried to post a short video showing the lights in action, but think it’s either to big or I don’t have the ability to post vids. Anyhow, here’s a more recent pic that highlights the LED strip layout effects better.

    Landmine Setup for Viking Shoulder Press

    Thanks! Always is a work in progress, but am now at a point where I can do virtually any lift I would do in a commercial gym (aside from a leg press and cable crossovers. I just replace those with similar exercises that for the most part emphasizes what those would hit (I.e, front squats...

    Landmine Setup for Viking Shoulder Press

    Thanks! When I’m up in the gym this morning will check the brand for the LEDs and let you know. Pretty sure it’s one of those China based sources. 😎 Update: Govee

    Landmine Setup for Viking Shoulder Press

    I’m in my early 40s and typically can bounce back fairly well with proper PCT starting 3-4 weeks after last injection though it takes a bit longer as I get older. Definitely am not against going that route if needed and suspect I probably will in the future. Plan to let the blood labs tell me...

    Landmine Setup for Viking Shoulder Press

    Thanks @Poppy 👍. As most of us know it’s all about putting in the work and creating behaviors (diet, exercise) that work for you and can most importantly be maintained long term. Gear can certainly take it to the next level and definitely can help preserve muscle when in a deficit, but diet and...

    Landmine Setup for Viking Shoulder Press

    Ha the lighting is really cheap on good ol’ Amazon. Maybe was just 25 bucks for a dual strand. Mine had the main plug with multiple button functions then the lights branch off 250 ft in each direction. For some reason I like the blue hue. My basement foot lights, microwave and bathroom all have...

    Landmine Setup for Viking Shoulder Press

    Ha I’m sure my neighbors have questions. LOL. I like how those LEDs actually coordinate with whatever music is playing. When lifting by myself I like making the environment a bit more entertaining.

    Landmine Setup for Viking Shoulder Press

    I’m sure quite a few have seen similar set-ups, but wanted to share what seems to work best for me when using my landmine for Viking presses. I have seen companies advertise separate stands to set the barbell on so you are at a better start position. However simply using a jcup on the other end...

    Belt Squats and Ideal Belt

    Agree I’m the same way so prefer to buy mid (most often) to higher quality stuff to ensure it lasts. Recently switched to a more powerlifting focused program and think I’m going to have to make some tweaks as my lower back is just not cooperating with traditional deadlifts. Going to try the...

    Belt Squats and Ideal Belt

    All, After doing a bit of research and also with the suggestion of @Poppy I pulled the trigger on a belt squat attachment that is designed for my power rack. It attaches to the high cable pulley and the the other end to your belt. Question is what belt do you all suggest mainly for belt...

    Thanks! Was wondering what was going on. Just logged back in at new domain and all was fine for me (didn’t have to reset it).

    Also wouldn’t be right if I didn’t give a shout out to the good pastor and @Ldog. Only Sponsor I went with and had blood tests multiple times and it’s definitely top notch.

    Body Comp Transformation

    Thanks man…most of it is just dedication to sticking with both the diet and lifting programming. Sounds simple but as we all know it’s tough. Let alone those shooting for sub 10% BF for a competition. That would break me and have huge respect to those that can drop that low even though it is...
