I do a lot of walking now, but I'll be back to failing at lifting weights at the gym as soon as we get a critical mass of vaccinated people

I stupidly accepted a big rear end treadmill from my brother a couple of years ago and I’ve used it 0 times. I need to round up 3 people to help me get rid of it.

I've started lifting again. This time I'm adding curls and triceps pulldowns into my routine. In the past it was like "lol I don't want to be a curl bro" but older me wants arms. I'm also 5'10" and 200 lbs. at some point I'd like to get to 180 or so. Maybe after a few months of lifting to get my strength back up.

carry on then posted:anybody know what the options are for a really compact rack that would fit in an apartment? i'd like to actually do bench press instead of dumbbell press and to be able to front squat more than i can power clean into position. i'm a weak nerd so it only needs to be able to hold like 250lbs although headroom to grow further would be nice I'd only do this if there wasn't an affordable gym close by. Compact racks tend do be kind of unstable

I understand though, gyms are pretty gross.

AnimeIsTrash posted:No it's not a smith machine. Non adjustable meaning you can't really mess with any of the preset heights, one of these: takes the same floor space as a power rack, but has none of the benefits. so of course all the gyms buy em

it’s really easy to drop 10 if you are super overweight. so if you really want to drop 10 start by gaining 50

ADINSX posted:I love the assisted pull-up machine. Before I gained some weight I could maybe bang out 5 to 8 reps but with the machine I can really focus on going all the way down and engaging the right muscles with each rep I used the one at the gym before i was able to do non assisted pull-ups. worked as advertised, would recommend
