Cellar Yeti Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 I don't really crave attention from my exercise habits. But it's really nice when a stranger notices my physique and comments on it. Mom and I are moving and I will not have the space to lift at home so I need a gym membership; as such since my Five Fingers are my only shoes I need to get a pair of over shoes to wear on my walk to the gym in the Winter. So I went to a local shoe store to look at the stock and the woman commented on my physique. I was very flattered to have someone notice my hard work. I am very excited to be getting a gym membership. With access to more equipment I can push my physique even further to it's limits. I am giddy. My father also reached out to me today after us not having spoken in a year or so. Today has been a very good Birthday. (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cellar Yeti Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 8-9-13I ran my old route today, 3.1 miles. I'm not even gonna post the time cause I got tired and stopped to walk, then got a stitch and stopped again, then I just quit 1/4 mile from home. This route is A LOT more technical and has A LOT more elevation gain. Needless to say I am going to stick with my new 3 miler which does not suck. I am positive this brutal route was shortening my training periods before rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cellar Yeti Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 Rest today. Went and picked up the rental car today, did some grocery shopping, and got some goodies for the home gym. 50lbs more of iron and an Olympic EZ curl bar rated to 310lbs. Woohoo!

My EZ bar can only fit a maximum of 211lbs with the combination of weight I have. For now I'll combine EZ/DB on deads (which is the whole reason I bought it and the two new 25s) but eventually I want to get 2x35s or 2x45s. It's too much of a pain to combo EZ and DB for the same exercise but I may do it on shrugs and calf raises. Still, the forearm pump I got from the EZ is so gnarly. I am concerned with the thickness of the steel walls on EZ so I won't be using my screw-down collar clamps on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Forklift Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Must say I have never tried doing deadlifts with an EZ bar, sounds interesting !! Keep up the good work. Just reading about the hotel and rental car, are you away from home at the moment? Hope you have had a good weekend bud MF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just reading about the hotel and rental car, are you away from home at the moment? Hope you have had a good weekend bud MF. It's very comfortable if you ask me. I use a narrower grip. My grip is as wide as my stance so my hands drag on my shins and stays tight to my body. I don't have room for a 7ft or even 5ft olympic bar, so this will have to do. I was just in San Diego for a doctors appointment and to take mom to the beach, back home now and getting ready to move. Take care too man.

Cellar Yeti Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 I didn't run yesterday or today. I have all sorts of excuses but mostly it boils down to me being too busy/stressed moving and I'd rather focus my efforts on weight training.

Cellar Yeti Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 Just swapped two of my 25#ers for two 45#ers (Budget means I couldn't keep the 25#ers ) I wanted the 45#ers because like I said I could only fit a maximum of 211lbs on the EZ bar when it is rated for 315lbs. The whole reason I bought it was for EZ deads and hack squats. Going with taller 45#ers means I can fit more weight on the EZ bar and that the bar now sits higher off the floor than with the 25#ers (which is a bit awkward IMO) About 2-3 inches to be exact. I should be able to fit 251 to 261 on the EZ bar, have to wait to get the 45s in the mail. My equipment list is now: 2x oly DB handles 28.5lbs1x oly EZ bar 21lbs2x oly 45lb plates4x oly 25lb plates4x oly 10lb plates4x oly 5lb plates4x oly 2.5lb plates13lbs of chainWeight plate vestDoorjam pullup/chinup barHome made suspension straps for aforementioned chinup bar for dipsTwo step stoolsStraps and wrist supportsFew extra screw-down collars (Not suitable for EZ bar)Various floor protection Doesn't sound like a lot but I have gotten by just fine without the 45s and EZ bar and now I have those to add to my arsenal!

Strict form is for situations where you can legit hurt yourself, like on deads, squats, chest press, etc. A little wiggle to get the last 1/4 ROM on chins on your last set or a little bounce on rows as long as your back is tight is no big deal and I have NEVER injured myself on those movements, or even felt like I was at risk. But if my deadlift form sucks, let me know. I think it's A-OK, my back was super tight and unarched and felt really smooth. I fucking LOVE my new equipment. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
