I’m considering opening one actuallyThat’s the nice thing about the home gym, toilet is just upstairs

It’s worth it but take it from me, buy once and cry once. I’ve gone through 3 bars and 3 benches before settling on what fit my needs. I should have gone with the more expensive options the first time around instead of trying to cheap out.I’m considering opening one actually
Where I’m moving to has no gym within 10 minutes driving. Have a guy who’ll run it for me. Just need it to break even. Would like one more person to invest so If the guy running it quits we can afford another one. Was thinking a CrossFit style gym just without he title and with a powerlifting lean. Was going to do a snap fitness but that only makes money if you run it all day and sell a lot of personal training.It’s worth it but take it from me, buy once and cry once.

Snaps are highly volatile. Every one in my area dried up and blew away once Experience fitness came to townWhere I’m moving to has no gym within 10 minutes driving. Have a guy who’ll run it for me.

Yeah I think a gym like my idea is best. Just a box with stuff I want to use in it plus some floor space for the others. I’ve got about 40000 I can toss at it to stock the pond.Snaps are highly volatile. Every one in my area dried up and blew away once Experience fitness came to town
That’s plenty, I think Rogue even has started packages with racks and bars and shit like that.Yeah I think a gym like my idea is best. Just a box with stuff I want to use in it plus some floor space for the others. I’ve got about 40000 I can toss at it to stock the pond.
I thought I was short stroking my squats because of the weight but I filmed myself doing an air squat today and the depth is the same. DO NOT NEGLECT MOBILITY! I used to foam roll for 15 mins before each session and my squat was immaculate. People in the gym would compliment me on it. I haven’t done that in over a year since I started working out at home and my mobility is destroyed. Don’t listen to the anti CrossFit zealots or Rippetoe cultists. Simply doing lighter sets of your exercises for the day does not constitute a warm up.
Wat?This is wrong.
Yes, those progressions are additional mobility work. Goblet squats are also very good. And just doing squats can be used to maintain flexibility but not necessarily to achieve it. Tight hip flexors have been a limiting factor in my depth and just doing squats did not help, I had to mash them with a roller or lacrosse ball and do static stretches.This is like telling a new lifter that they need to be able to do splits to squat and get stronger in an efficient manner. older people that can't hit depth use progressions of you guessed it the squat to finally be able to hit depth. The squat exercise itself increases mobility to the point of which you need it to perform the lift.
Not true. Many people including myself need to do supplementary mobility work in order to reach full depth. After seeing the squat video you posted, I would say you should consider mobility work and practicing your technique.This is like telling a new lifter that they need to be able to do splits to squat and get stronger in an efficient manner. older people that can't hit depth use progressions of you guessed it the squat to finally be able to hit depth.

i would say that you are wrong on both accounts
For some people.The squat exercise itself increases mobility to the point of which you need it to perform the lift.
Come on, dude. You know that the human experience is a universal one and that if something works for someone, it must work for everyone, regardless of size, strength, training and injury history, etcFor some people.
bw: 225ish (I'm a fat ass right now) -> 180
ohp: 135 -> 175
squat: 315 -> 385
no belt because belts suck
I'll throw in a bottle of hot sauce for the winner.
It doesn’t constitute a warm up, it’s simply working up to working sets. The fact that you have inherent mobility doesn’t make an exercise a warm up.Simply doing lighter sets of your exercises for the day does not constitute a warm up.
the above is your quote so this is pot calling kettle black
