I have a nice power rack sitting in pieces because the house I'm renting doesn't have room for it. So I just work out at my office gym and get to see my smelly fat coworkers naked instead.

Yeah I need the heavier dumbbells mainly for the bench presses and you kind of have to just dump them when you are doing decline bench. Would powerblocks just shatter if I do that?

From what I've read of others who own them, don't drop them regularly or they'll get messed up eventually.

Right next to me a dude is squatting with kettlebells attached to either side of the bar with those colored stretching bands. He's also got his legs completely covered with sleeves/wraps and wears huge headphones over his hoodie

he squats faster as the kettlebells on bands yo-yo him into the motion. speed increasing constantly, he cannot stop. he is perpetual squatting machine

I'm more annoyed that I still need to use the assist myself after nearly a year- it's the one exercise I'm not patient with. One of my goals is a pull up from a dead hang; I've gotten down to the bare minimum (30 lbs) before the next step is to no longer have an assist at all but that's a lot to drop.

Unassisted, I can get up to like forehead level before my arms and back just go "that's enough son"

hosed up my back again somehow lol

still deadlifted, not sure if I made it worse or better. It's fine if I'm erect, walking, sitting, or laying down. But it hurts in any position in between. The slightest bend is like a knife through my lower lumbars.

OH WELL

keep deadlifting until you feel better or have to be taken away on a stretcher imo

I’m not sure how it’s too serious for you when you are interested in push-ups and the recommended progression is to do vertical push-ups against a wall. Or did you mean too serious as in there are a lot of words.

I meant serious as in it it's an hour long and requires parallel bars and a pull up bar.

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 :shrug:

office gym is the only reason i go to the gym reliably now
