Lifting Thread;training for the tattooed warrior.

@Cork, I'm telling you: Craigslist. I have six loadable DB handles and tons (disclaimer: not actually tons) of standard plates for them. I hooked up a 120-lb. DB for Kroc rows and have a pair of 50s lying around at all times. Maybe you can score a full set like I did, including 25-lb. standard plates.

Or you could get these and use your oly plates: http://www.amazon.com/Olympic-Dumbbell-Handles-sold-Pair/dp/B002OB2BT6/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=undefined&sr=8-4&keywords=OLYMPIC+DUMBBELL+HANDLE

I always feel so guilty buying gym gear. I have no idea why. I think my mindset is that since I am at home now, I should be competent enough to rig something up that works well enough. So buying it is like cheating. I'm an idiot.

[hogg]

I'm an idiot.

Your words, not mine.

[Cork]

I'll always be the first and the last to tell you that.

Starting a Y3T programme this week anybody tried it? Can't wait for the giant sets week

[Cork]

This?

Bodybuilding.com - Y3T: Neil Hill's 9-Week Hardcore Video Trainer

Nope. I would never follow a routine from BB.com. Not that I've really researched them at all, but bodybuilders are just as bad with fad workouts as mid life crisis mom's are with fad diets.

[Rikhall]

Haha guess your not a fan then, I won't be following that one but the principle is the same,

Pick a program and stick with it!

Once you get better you can switch it up - just keep doing it!

Was doing a ton of tri training - endurance cardio.

Kept weight training but it wasn't my focus.

Got back to heavy iron four weeks ago

Doing a 4 week plan going from high reps to lower reps week to week.

I'm in week 4 and can feel the results!

Good news : finished my right pec.

Bad news : now I have to take a few days out of the gym.

Happy this piece is done, but the few days off always suck and I didn't plan this one in a good deload time.

remember you'll probably be benefitting from the extra days off you wouldnt have normally given yourself

9/10 I agree with you -- also, I'm a huge fan of deloads and rests. This one just fell smack in the middle (by necessity) of a cycle that was progressing nicely. Had a rest programmed in 3 weeks anyway ,so all is well.

I dead lifted 330.5 lbs x1 last week. First time lifting anything over 275lbs (previous did that for 5 reps last spring).

See guys, @BrianH is proof that backpieces make you strong.

There is a joke to make here at @hogg's expense, but I'll be nice and say that I agree with you suburban. Although how do we know Brian is telling the truth if he provides no video?

nice - but a big be careful to you - low rep deads can be asking for trouble - especially as you get older

i'd rec nothing below an 8 rep count - keep your form tight and and the weight down

Grats, dead PRs are the best PRs. Keep on trucking.

SHOTS FIRED EVERYONE GET DOWN

In honor of your PRs, here is me hitting some deficits. I'm coming back from an injury and plan to leave these weights in the dust soon. The final single is 315. I did it shirtless because look at how beautiful I am. Ignore all the body hair....
