Cowboy's Switch the Darkside

The young lads just don't have the jam like the older fellas do.

Nope had to let him rest and cool down. I ended up having to dump water on him to speed the cooling up. I will admit damn humid but still us old farts got through it lol

Kids are brought up weak now. No fighting, safe spaces, anti bullying coalition’s etc. everyone gets a trophy and whatever they want is delivered to their door at the push of a button on their phone. All the convenience is bound to turn a whole generation soft as fat girl tittys

 

[Btcowboy]

Stocking up on some more Test and more Abombs. Want to make sure I got a bunch to keep going and some drol once I get back at lifting

Some of these younger generations are cut from a different cloth for sure. Not even as strong as cloth really, more like a single ply tissue.

So I asked the store last week if I could upgrade to the heavier rack and not do the delivery in lieu. They said they heavier rack was 3 to 12 weeks out. Anyways he emailed me tonight said the heavier rack is expected in early May am I still interested to upgrade. I asked when he expected my Oly bar in and he said with the heavier rack. So decided to upgrade rack, and wait for it. Makes sense to me. Will go pick up what is in which sounds like bench, collars, all my plates, and the Safety squat bar. I guess I can just lift plates for a couple more weeks, but will be happier and a little safer

I find the youth work more on reps. Not many lift heavy like us. Unless they are sports orientated. I can't do the reps like most do. I find that low reps and heavy weight is way less damaging on my joints.

Just put together boards for board pressing by myself.
3 - 2x6x14 or whatever length you want
Velcro strips to chose 1, 2, or 3 board
2 eye hooks and bungee to hold to you

Never thought of doing it that way. I bought a bench blok

Yeah that was what I was thinking was the block. Googled to make one and found these 17 bucks and 20 minutes

 

[Btcowboy]

Well here is what showed up today... can do some work with it. Expect Rack, Oly bar, the 35s, the 10s, DB handles, in 2 weeks or less.

Not a fan of the bench but it gets me started. I will buy a good flat bench for pressing this will become my incline one later. Fucking slippery as a fuck too.

The SSB is a joke, no padding so bought some, the handles are not equal distance by about 1/8 inch. And short for a lot of plates and only rated to 500. So a new one in future too.

Got bumpers as all I could for 45s damn 3 inches thick.....just bought the steel for my plate tree and now need to buy more pipe to accommodate these plates lol

That ssb looks like an “athletic center” model, lol

Northern Lights apparently.... cheap ass thing

 

[Btcowboy]

Planned out this cut pretty good. Weight this am was 206, down another 3. I think I will hit 200 or slightly under before all my equipment gets here. Then I can drop most of the cardio, eat more, and get stronger again lol. Damn lifting the SSB bar to bring into the house felt heavy lol

 

[Btcowboy]

Decided I wont log my workouts per se until I get the rest of my equipment, however tried chest and triceps today with what I have.

Flat bench
Flat flies
Incline hex press
Across chest raises

Skull crushers
OH extensions
Kickbacks

All high reps(15-25) 3 to 4 sets. Extra work pressing with SSB lol... pick up off the floor, into thighs, kick up lean back hope the handles in right spot.

At least this gets me semi back to lifting. Due to lighter weight higher rep work I will follow a more BB bro split for now. Once everything is here back to Sheiko.

Been thinking about these damn 45lb bumpers. Can fit 3 a side without collars on the SSB, 2 if I want collars. The oly bar I should be able to fit 5 a side. So emailed and asked if I can swap for the thinner rubber coated which are cheaper. I said I will pay 10 bucks plus return the 8 bumpers for 10 rubber coated. Also said I dont care at this point will eat the 80 bucks and take 8 rubber coated.... not sure how I got bumpers for 45s and rubber coated for the rest

That’s the problem I see with the CrossFit style stuff. I’m really wanting the thin calibrated plates.

Definately sounds like June for the other ones and want 10 of them. They will let me it sounds like use the bumpers until the others come in and still return them if I dont beat them up. Waiting for the manager to confirm

 

[Perrin Aybara]

I'm running into a similar problem with my two 45's and twelve 35's. Low 600's is maxing my bar. I'm gonna have to pick up a few more 45's at some point. Still worth it for $1 a pound though.

 

[Btcowboy]

Its been 5 weeks since my gym closed and I haven't been able to lift. As mentioned some equipment has shown up and this week I have been doing what I can with it waiting for the rest to show.

3 on 1 off bodybuilding style split. Chest/Tri, Back/Bi, Legs/Shoulder. Just finished day 3, and I got to say shit is heavy lol, and awkward making do. Soldier on and be ready to go when the rest gets here.

 

[Btcowboy]

So the manager is good to go swapping out my 45lb bumpers for 45lb rubber coated when they arrive in June
