Its great for a month or so and then it will be just something you need to sell or get rid of because its taking up space. Been there done that

Not for me. I never wait in line for a squat rack. I play DMX, Tupac and Metallica instead of getting 2018 dance mix. I don't get gym employees telling me I need to make sure a 500 LB deadlift hitting the floor needs to be "quieter."

I can squat buck naked if I want to. Having a garage gym is the single best thing in my lifting environment life.

500 LB


You got that much free weights? I got some stuff but not that much. I do some lifting, box, and do jits in my garage, but I go do deads and squats at the gym.

Add a couple of flags and ARs on the wall and this screams fricking ‘Murica. I can’t wait to own a house.

Yeah, I probably have 800-900 or so in plates. I can use upwards of 600 on heavy stuff like farmers, yoke or block pulls.

I used to go to LA Fitness and frequently waited 10 min for a rack. Having your personal rack...words can't express how much of an upgrade it is.

I do miss going somewhere though. I go to a local powerlifting gym (invite only) once in awhile.

I’m doing GSLP. Just posting the AMRAPS and other exercises. I felt worthless walking into the gym today. Struggled to get 5 reps on my two 5x sets before the AMRAP. But I got through. I might cruise through through the next increase or fail. But Im okay with failures on this program.

BP - 212.5 x 5
EZ Curls - 40 x 3 x 12
Dips + 15 - 3 x 8
DL - 295 x 9

I know the protocol says 5 lb on DL increase. But I really want to get to 315.

My BP is all over the place and I don’t feel like I’m progressing. But I am.

Tonight:

3 giant sets of comp squat doubles up to 360, along with weighted GHR and heavy band stallions.

Backoff with 2 giant sets SSB squats with bands, RDL's with 315 LB and ab wheel rollouts.

Finish with yoke walk in front squat hold. Not a great night, my squats looked either right at parallel or a hair above. Need to bury it deeper and hit depth more consistently on comp squats.

5/3/1 BBB Cycle 2 Week 3

Press 1+: 105 10x
Bench 115 5x10
Lat Pull Downs, Face Pulls for accessories.

Workout felt great today. All my lifts went up with good speed today. Even the 1+ set on Press I could have grinded out a few more reps.

7 mile run tomorrow to prep for a race. Next week is deload week. Using the 7 week protocol right now. Don’t need it but lines up perfectly with my race schedule.

Definitely was skeptical about doing sub-maximal lifting and feels weird putting such few pounds on the bar. Especially the 5x10 sets but I am definitely getting stronger and it’s leaving me fresh enough to train for some races in the next few months.

Yeah. It’s AMRAP at 95% of Training Max. I went pretty conservative on setting my Training Max and keep hitting 8+ on my AMRAP sets.

I’m training for some 10k and Spartan Races at the same time. And SS was wearing me down so I just went light.

I would move weight up a little more since you are doing BBB. There is a reason why you chose that template and it's too get big and strong. Going light is counter intuitive to that specific program. At least up it to you getting around 6 instead of 10
