Gym And Supplement Discussion

I carry with me a small tupperware container full of crushed up chalk...it gets the job done and is easy to care around. Just leave in my car.

[Dajae]

That's a good idea.. Might have to give it a whirl. Off to the reject shop to buy some chalk lol

[L33SH]

I go to a gym with as many chalk bowls as squat racks

[bozodos]

I've started making liquid chalk from isopropanol + chalk to get around the chalk ban at my gym - works well, apart from the chalk powder clumping in the bottle.

To all you deadlift mofos

You guys haven't done a proper deadlift unless you use this fat 3" bar

I've done it in the past

It def helps your grip strength and lift more and next time you pick up an generic oly bar you will think its a tooth pick

48kg

[L33SH]

ah yeah, that would be annoying me for me though

[Ants]

That's ol school thick bar btw

You can get lighter thick bars

I could barely use a 3" bar cuz I'm not tall and found that a 2" thick bar was best fit and weigh a lot less than that ol dinosaur bar (under 25kg)

[L33SH]

Yeah fair enough. I like having a 20kg bar because It's easy for me to do my sets with 20kg and 10kg plates. I have 20's on each side for warmup, I then add 10's on, then I have 2 20's, then 2 20's and a 10 either side for my max weight. Then take the 10's off and do 100kg for volume.

lol I used to call my old gym the dungeon (wasnt called that but that is what I refered it to as being)

Plain and simple - no spa, no yoga / pilates mambo jumbo, no sauna, weights were very old but useful with dumbels up to 50kg (not that I ever lifted that - but 40kg I did lol)

cardio equipment - basic stuff treadmil, stepper (one of favs), cross trainer (also a good one) and bike and rowing machines)

Was a great gym - and now I just realise how much I miss it

[L33SH]

Not one piece of cardio at dungeon, we only got a couple of mirrors the other day too

mirrors lol

You'll probably spend more time checkin yourself out than working out

Send them back and get more weights instead

Grip used to be my problem for deadlifts, giving out before my back did, but with mixed grip and chalk it's my back that gives out first.

So I won't have a bar of it Ants...know what I'm chalkin about?

could still try it - bar costs $40

Just drop weights off and see how you go

It will improve your grip

[Birds]

Yeah but I don't have grip problems...
