I had one of the worst runs of my life last night. It was awful for some reason.

This will sound pretty lame, but doing something is better than nothing. I have lost 45 pounds just on diet alone so far. Down to 232. 220 is my goal for now. Past 3 weeks I have been doing "couch workouts". Bi's, tri's, Schwarzeneggers, forearms, and chest presses. Just trying to do something.

And when the heck did weights go from 50 cents a pound to a dollar a pound???

I buy all of mine at second hand stores, usually about 25 cents a pound or less, but steel plates are like hens teeth amymore.

What rack did you end up with? I just got a cheap one but it seems good enough for what I need.

This squat rack - https://www.titan.fitness/cages-and-racks/x-3-racks/x-3-squat-stand-w-pull-up-bar-spotter-arms.html

And this pull-up rig - https://www.titan.fitness/gym-equipment/pull-up-bars/mounted/wall-mounted-pull-up-bar.html

Appears to be very similar to Rouge stuff. The reviews of their equipment that I could find led me to believe the quality was enough for home use but not near the level of Rouge. Should have it all by early next week, I'll post some initial thoughts here then.

I went with this one. Tough to beat for the price and is adequate for my needs for the foreseeable future.

That is cheap!
I imagined you had to spend over 1,000 to get a cage like that.

Nice, looks like it. I decided I wanted the ability to do pull ups and squat/bench at the same time during a workout. For me, a wall mount rig or power rack wouldn't have enough room for kipping pull-ups with a bar racked.

Nice rack! But, only an 800lb capacity? How am I supposed to do curls if I'm limited in such a way?

I already had a ceiling mounted pullup bar so it wasn't a factor for me.

Gotcha. Then you're good to go.

 

[maansmit]

Gotcha. Then you're good to go.

I looked at those Titan ones also but couldn't pass this one up for the price.

Made it to gym again today. I did 4-3-2-1 rounds of scaled Cindy (3-6-9) with a 150m farmer carry after each set. 53# each arm.

been lazy x 2 months but still got 30 pull ups in. Last three were a struggle to hold the bar

 

[hoosierdoc]

Today was just a treadmill day. 30 mins mostly walking. Fairly sore from last two days

Ditto... one hour... ALL walking.

Kut (ain't running anymore unless someone is chasing him... or some thing)

 

[hoosierdoc]

Did you use incline? Supposedly incline of 1 makes it more like natural walking

 

[2A_Tom]

Friday, 5 miles on stationary bike to get my myscled hot. All lower body and ab machines 12 reps 3 sets very close or to failure. Steam room 7 minutes, Pool for 45 minutes, spa 10 minutes. Worn out!

Thursday, Upper body to failure, over did it and my R shlolder popped again. I am supposed to be fixing myself not making it worse. need to back off a tad.

 

[hoosierdoc]

Four days in a row. Proud of myself after two months of fat laziness.

did 30 min walk/jog in treadmill. Walked an eighth at 3.7, jogged an eighth at 5.5. Covered about 2.2 miles.

If I could get diet right I could work on the weight too. But date night last night and wife's HS reunion tonight mean caloric trouble

 

[Kirk Freeman]

AM: I did swords, long pole, tripodial and elbow strikes. My over the top elbow needs work. Have to drill it more.

PM: Yoga. Nice overall stretch with focus on hips and lower back. Did the bricks today which was nice. My back feels 15 years younger.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

I did tripodial and a bunch of long pole stuff, including fighting hanging logs. Some real Shaolin stuff this morning.

Going to bike the hill this afternoon.
