Back on keto and in the lower 250s. Delts are starting to cap nicely, abs coming in. Tomorrow I'm going to try some heavy Sumo pulls.

BRICKS · Jul 14, 2017

Heavy Sumo pulls

5x400
5x440
2x502 PR
2x5@440
6x440

Attempted 550 but couldn't budge it off the floor. I'm pulling inside the rack and my feet are as wide as they'll go. Next time I'll pull outside and experiment with a wider stance. I'm starting to think Sumo may be a stronger lift for me than conventional, but not certain yet. Happy with today's effort considering I'm in a pretty significant caloric deficit, down 20lbs and on TRT dose.

Moving to the countryside in 2 days. Haven't bought a rack/home setup yet. Hoping there is a gym within 30 min or else I'll have to commute into the city 1 hour each way.

May be a little while until I update again.

John Ziegler · Jul 24, 2017

Ought to get one of those total gyms that Chuck & Christy have

knightmare999 · Jul 25, 2017

Good luck with the move.

Jin · Jul 28, 2017

Move went well. Staying at a friend of a friends vacation house in the mountains until we find a farm property. Pretty freakin nice.

Good news is there's a gym 2.3 km from the house and it's nicely airconditioned. Bad news is (for now) I've got to wear long sleeves to cover up my tats and the oly weights there only total slightly over 500lbs. Good enough for training for now though.

All the machines are pneumatic and all hooked up to a big ass compressor. It provides for an interesting feeling as the pressure rises when you're on the concentric. Non-linear for sure. Also, I can't budge any machine at or near its max. The leg press supposedly goes up to the equivalent of 1,500+ lbs.

There's an add pressure (+) button and decrease pressure (-) button on the handles. This allows for super easy drop sets as you don't have to get up to decrease the weight.

I've never seen pneumatic machines for lifting. Thanks for sharing!
Post up your view from the mountains if you don't mind. Sounds awesome.

Athena · Jul 28, 2017

Thanks for the thread. I've been to Japan and traveled plenty of cities and countryside areas. Each time mountains took my breath away, especially Mt Adatara. I really wanted to check out the gym there, but they couldn't let me train unless I go through 2h safety training and a whole tour of the premises and they got like several campuses with different studios. So thanks, you walk me through a bit

ECKSRATED · Jul 29, 2017

Chris duffin has a few of the machines in his gym. Its crazy how hard they can be to move, its just ****ing air damnit lol
