@JesseJames How's the hunt going? I've pretty much picked out all the equipment I'll get for our home gym. I'm spending several days on some spring cleaning now to plan it out and get ready for it. The centerpiece is a Rogue S-4 (along with bar, bench, mat, safety arms, bumper plates and bumper plates stand). If you're not as space constrained as I am then the SML-2 with pull-up bar looks totally worth it.

I haven't been training my pullups this cycle, but I figured I'd see where I'm at

2018-04-04 20:48:47 UTC  

I got 20 pullups in

2018-04-04 20:48:58 UTC  

Not too bad

2018-04-04 20:49:06 UTC

I have a home setup with a powerrack but all you really need is a barbell and weights. That is it. You can get crazy strong on all the major excercises with just a bar bell. Cleaning the bar for ohp or front squat is how old timers in the 50s got strong. You only need the rack for 1rm bench work or low bar squats that you can't bail out of. Don't stress about equipment. One advice i would give is to buy a new bar. You do not want a bent bar. Sometimes used bars are bent because some asshat was doing rack pulls with them. What happens when you get heavy and you start getting that whip in the bar, the bar can roll in your hands and slip out. It is not something you can see but it can hurt you. I have used this bar for years from Amazon.

2018-04-07 04:59:09 UTC  

btb/conventional/sumo?

2018-04-07 04:59:31 UTC  

Conventional. And I've hit 500 before.

2018-04-07 04:59:51 UTC  

gg

2018-04-07 05:00:12 UTC  

my strongest is defo behind the back

2018-04-07 05:00:18 UTC  

leverages are weird that way

2018-04-07 05:00:37 UTC  

I did 405 back in 2017

2018-04-07 05:01:05 UTC  

which wasn't too hard, but granted then my conventional wasn't even 350

2018-04-07 05:01:30 UTC  

I should have a conventional now of 405 when I finish this cycle

2018-04-07 05:01:45 UTC  

Am stronk 💪🏻

2018-04-07 05:02:21 UTC  

Honestly though once you figure out how to maximize your glutes and hammies deadlift is pretty easy imo

2018-04-07 05:02:34 UTC  

Doesn't kill my knee like squatting does as well

2018-04-07 05:03:01 UTC  

yeah I've engrained alot better muscle recruitment this time around

2018-04-07 05:03:13 UTC  

Actually feeling my glutes

2018-04-07 05:03:54 UTC  

Mental muscle recruitment is far from a meme

2018-04-07 05:04:08 UTC  

my legs make it so there isnt a difference between a stiff leg dl and a normal dl

2018-04-07 05:04:21 UTC  

I always picture my glutes and hams doing all the work, save for the last bit where I lean back

2018-04-07 05:04:21 UTC  

well, hardly much a difference

2018-04-07 05:04:44 UTC  

How do you set up? That can make a difference as well

2018-04-07 05:05:20 UTC  

I've done a LOT of research on my Deadlift, as it used to be my worst and most dreaded exercise

2018-04-07 05:05:41 UTC  

Now that I've figured things out, squats have regained that title

2018-04-07 05:06:02 UTC  

squats will never agree with my femur length
