Don’t call it a comeback

[NovaFlex]

Yea man, you’re definitely bigger in the shoulders and chest while your midsection is just about gone. That’s a healthy look. All that works pays off well. Keep it up!

Thanks bro. I appreciate it.

Alright my brothers...We got a closing date of next week for our house (FINALLY), so I started really cracking down on a list for my home gym. I’m pretty sure I’ve covered damn near everything for my budget.

Few questions:
-Is the Reverse hyper / GHR worth getting?
-If I get the GHR / hyper, is the back extension redundant?
-Should I sub something out for the DL bar, or keep lifting on a stiff bar for now?
-am I missing anything that I didn’t think of?


-x3 short flat foot rack

-Titan belt squat machine

-incline bench v2

-Landmine Rack attachment

-x3 series J hooks

-hyper / back extension v2 (??)

-hefty bench v2

-GHR / HPND combo

-Landmine stand

-Deadlift Frame

-Titan SSB

-Titan Yukon bar

-EliteFTS Power bar

-farmers walk handles

-100lb slam ball

-870lb of plates - YORK

-loadable 20” dumbbell pair

-band pegs for X3 rack

-dumbbell holders for x3 rack

-deadlift Jack



Later-

*FIND BLOCKS FOR BLOCK PULLS*

*Sandbags

*Lat PD machine (?)

*Dip Machine

*Deadlift bar
*Trap bar

*battle ropes + rope attachment
*sled

*chains

*DBs up to 50lbs (20, 30, 40, 50)

Damn thats gonna be a hell of a home gym... build your blocks, that's what I plan to do some 4x4s

I’m maxing out a credit card bro lmao.

I’ll probably end up building the blocks like you said. The stuff on the bottom is stuff I’ll pick up afterward.

You can cut up 3/4" horse trailer mats for block pulls. Highly adjustable and could be bought for under $100. Belt squats you can buy a Spud Inc belt squat belt and just stand between two platforms of some kind. It's better with free weight than any type of machine in my opinion. The lever type belt squatting hurts my knees a little. Get a deadlift bar with the money saved on those. 100% you will not regret a good deadlift bar.

I forgot you mentioned those horse mats before. Awesome idea.

Good call on the belt squat too...That saves like $600 that I can put toward the DL bar and something else. Maybe some chains.

Deadlift is an art you want to use the best brush (bar) to paint with.

Yeah I had it in the original lineup, but I think I took it out to make room for the reverse hyper. I’m kinda excited to see what my pull will be on a DL bar though. Possibly mid to high 6’s in the near future??

Perhaps, depends on your deadlift style and is more pronounced with heavier weight. Should add a few pounds right off the bat.

Dude, you’re gonna have to charge your wife membership to afford all that. Mine in about a third that and I’ve crossed 3g

5200 total. I’ve made a few tweaks since posting, tho. It may come closer to 5500, depending on the shipping cost from EliteFTS. It’s what credit cards are for lmao.

but I mean, I’ll literally not need anything else ever.

My set up was 2700 plus 200 shipping. Not high end stuff but will get the job done. I will build on it and upgrade certain things as time goes on. Got a few firehall buddies wanting to partake but I wouldnt charge them lol.

 

[NovaFlex]

I decided to forego any resemblance of strength training until I get my own gym set up. For now I’m just working strictly on conditioning...and judging by how dead I am right now, I need it.


Conditioning circuit


50 yard sled drag sprints (Car tire + 80lb kid lol)

+

Max effort Sledgehammer hits x15-20

+

95lb clean and press x5-8


1-3 minute rest, repeat x8

 

[Worf]

The kid probably had more fun than you did

I have a video on my IG. She loved it, lol.

me, in the other hand...I had no idea how grueling “sprinting” with weight is. Farmers walks a one thing, but damn sled drags are crazy. It only makes me wanna get better at them though.

Hell yea man, I picked up a Fringesport sled used for $100. Gone be out in my street pushing that fucker around when it stops raining

Found one used as well but wife said I have spent enough for now and to wait lol... there are a couple big truck tires at the fire hall. I am thinking of setting them up as a circuit. Drag x number of feet then 20 hits on the tire with sledge hammer then drag back and 20 more hits.

Yeah man, once I get set up I wanna get a sled or a prowler. The workout I got from just the tire was insane.

Dude use the puppy eyes and tell her it’s a necessity for heart health. Lol.
The circuit is crazy tho. It works so well. I need to find some 400-600lb tires for flips

So the fire hall is still open but they closed the fitness room? Did they close the bathrooms too?
