Creepy as fuck actuslly

This shit is gonna be talked about like 9/11

 

[Perrin Aybara]

It’s getting kinda creepy man. Have you seen the picture of Times Square?

I hadn't, no. Video above says unavailable though.

 

[Worf]

Lot of people out of work. Hopefully shit doesn't go all dystopian.

Seems like the government and media sure is giving it a hell of an effort make it that way.

It's gonna kill some of these small businesses they're forcing to close. Plus all those employees they're putting out of work. I've never seen anything like this.

I was talking to a friend who owns a Chinese buffet (I know—I’m fat), and she said she’s probably gonna have to close because of rent not being paid, staff, fresh inventory going bad, etc. she said they’ve had as much business in a week that they usually have in a day.

Day 2 of the zombie apocalypse...Doing the best I can with what I have. If it’s nice out tomorrow, I’m gonna go throw some logs around the yard.

Seated OHP - utilizing CAT

115 5x10


Bent over row

145 x35, 30

-I wanted 50 straight reps, ended up with 35...a mini goal to shoot for, I guess.


Concentration curl

25 2x10


Hammer curl

25 x15, 12


-Low energy, 1500 cal / zero carbs today...still had to get it in...with this setup I couldn’t seated press the max of the bar because I had to clean every set up to the pressing position, and there was no head room in the basement—I was forced to use lower weight.

Gotta make done bro.
I'm in close to the same boat, you've seen my shitty set up I'm working with right now.
Rough situation, but I'm also on cycle, so we just have to work harder.

Personally, it's really hard to use the program @Worf built, since I'm down to just a bar and plates.

Making the best of it.

BTW, did about 8 sets of Snatch grip deads the other day... my fuxking back is on FIRE.
Great recommendation!

We gotta do what we gotta do, bro. Like PA said, the party doesn’t fucking stop.

And yeah man, I’m completely off routine here. I’m just doing whatever movements I can to maintain...if I’m honest, though, these high reps are kinda fun.

-Glad you like them, man! They’ve become my favorite DL. I’m gonna use them as much as possible when I’m bulking.

 

[NovaFlex]

I was going through and planning everything out today...I’ve been looking at Titan, since a lot of their stuff is decent quality, if you know what you want.

-I can setup my entire gym, plus around 800lbs in weights, for around 4500. This includes non-essentials, as well. However, I’ll probably end up removing some and adding in some strongman-type conditioning implements, like a sled, a yoke etc.

-Texas DL bar from EliteFTS
-Elite FTS Power Bar and trap bar
-Yukon bar from Titan
-SSB from titan

the only thing missing is standard DB’s, but I think I’d rather have the adjustable ones anyway.

The Titan stuff I can get on credit, $300 /month for a year.

 

[Perrin Aybara]

I got my Texas Deadlift Bar from Amazon with free shipping instead of the $50 or whatever EliteFTS wants FYI. But if you're ordering that much stuff probably better off getting the reward points if they do that. I can't remember if they do.

I don’t think EliteFTS does—good call. Tits. Has points tho.

They have a belt squat machine for the same price as that lat PD machine...I’m thinking of switching the two, since pull ups are more effective anyway.

mice never belt squared though...does it have good carry over?

 

[Perrin Aybara]

Amazon is an evil corporation part of me hates supporting, but damn it's convenient.

 

[NovaFlex]

Goddamn my typing is terrible right now Lmao

It absolutely does have awesome carryover to sumo. Not really sure about conventional. Maybe a narrow stance belt squat might carryover to conventional, I really don't know. The start of a conventional pull is quite a bit different though.

I’ll have to look more into it. This is all just a rough throw together anyway.

If it did to me it seems like it would benefit the middle of a conventional pull. Like after you break the floor until a little before you start to lock it out. Totally theoretical.

If that’s true, it would be a perfect accessory movement, because that’s always my weak point.

-Still trying to get it in. Tendonitis is acting up a little..I think it’s from super high reps + only doing pressing movements. Fasting starting tonight, so I’ll take the weekend off to recover.

Fasting for the weekend. I may try to go 72 hrs. Took a 3 mile walk with the wife...Probably gonna do that 2-3x a week, at least until I get my sled and things set up.
