My gym has all brand new equipment and all the barbells feel like they sort of have a greasy feeling coating to them that hasnt worn off yet, even when wiped down. Combine that with my sweaty hands, the bar likes to slide out of my hands (not grip issue). And sometimes Im too lazy to bring chalk

Grab a piece of paper towel (my gym has those brown tear off sheets and a spray bottle literally everywhere), get it damp, fold in half and wrap it around the bar where your hands go. Instant grip of peace.

So far it gives the same amount of grip at 400lb deadlift as chalk. I might not even bother with chalk anymore this is so easy.

When I saw another bro doing it I instantly thought wtf phaggot but after I tried I was definitely mirin.

Hey, I might actually start doing some upper body work for once. Maybe you guys can point me in the right direction? I want to start benching.

My current stats are
195 lbs
315 squat
405 deadlift
185 clean
0 bench :D

That's a huge issue at SC. Nobody knows gym etiquette. Plates all over the place, and dumbbells are never put away lol

Just checking in, did my third workout this week, after a 3 month layoff. Back to doing bodyweight workouts on my rooftop, it's the only way I can manage the time. If my time/money situation gets better, I'll go back to the gym.

My workout now is 4 circuits (will move to 5 as soon as I can complete 4 without dying) of:

10 x jumping squats
5 x ab wheel
10 x single leg deadlift
10 x pushups
10 x jumping jacks
10 x reverse lunge with twist
10 x pike pushups
10 x squat thrust (this is the killer)

0 seconds rest - just stop to catch breath when I can. First circuit takes about 3:30 then it goes up from there ;)

Can't believe how bad I got in those 3 months :heckno:

i know eh, people nowadays :okay:

Was training till the community center closed, and dumbbells were lieing all around the floor. Me being the gentlemen I was, helped the elderly gym attendant put all the weights back onto the racks and sort them out. Was a good grip strength and trap exercise to say the least
