Zahgaegun posted:Try a trap bar/hex bar deads before giving up on deads entirely. Man hex bar is basically cheating, isn't it? Our gym just got one and I gave it a try - added 5kg and completed the set way easier then before. No need for straps either, as with the regular bar I was losing my grip way too early. I did feel like I was missing something, which I think had to do with the higher handles that reduce ROM, so I'll try to flip it over next time. Speaking of deadlifts, you know these cute gifs of couples deadlifting each other? Well the liftee is our local celebrity here, 180kg supposedly:

Just ended up doing an unplanned extra set of calf raises because a chick in yoga pants jumped on the treadmill right in front of me. Now I probably won't be able to make it up the stairs at home, thanks!

Guys, get a sous vide cooker immediately. It'll transform your chicken breasts from barely edible trash to delicious juicy meat you might actually want to eat. And it's still easier to cook than anything short of nuking it directly in the microwave and you can easily time it to be ready whenever you need it.

Like $50-100 on the lower end. The immersion circulation types, which is most of them, can be used in any pot you have and I managed to cook like 6 breasts in a 5l Ikea pot. If you have the space (which I did not) and will be using it very often, a water bath might be better. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=sous+vide There's a thread in GWS for this stuff if you want more information. The cool thing though is that you can also use it for fancy dinners to impress your

Cyberpunkey Monkey posted:I was in the gym for 45 minutes tonight (light work because I'm on a slow cut and also...) these two dudes did absolutely nothing but curls and triceps pulldowns for the whole time I was there. I didn't utter a single word. I had my leg day on Wednesday and then played football (the non-brain damage one) the next day and now I can't walk. Still, this might be a pretty good way to get some cardio in your workout without torturing yourself on a treadmill. There was also one guy at the gym who does the most half-assed reps of loving everything. Well more like quarter-assed because that's what his squats, lunges and presses look like. It's bizarre.

I'm not too worried about asymmetries but just found the mixed grip to be extremely uncomfortable. Straps work but by far my favorite solution was to just use the trap bar instead which fixes the hand position and is just more comfortable in general.

My gym literally just has a bench, incline bench and a squat rack. And I guess a doohickey to row the bar, but that's pretty much it as far as lifting equipment. But it's free and in my office building so I can lift on company time so eh

Our gym's music solution is an ipod of some sort hooked up to the PA system. One day it was on playing Paradise City when I came in, definitely way overplayed track but whatever, better than the usual stuff that gets played there. Since it was the day Keith Flint died, I queued up The Fat of the Land to play afterwards to pay respects. Not a minute later some wimp comes along and, unable to handle some G n' R, skips the track

Certainly not complaining of course, better that then occupying the squat rack.
