do you get to survey any babes?
No.1978
>>1976I thought about getting a curling bar and doing dif reps with it.

>>1977>pic relatedWhat I do. Flag up property corners so people know where their boundary limits are. The pipe at the bottom is flagged too, because it's the lot marker. I make topographical maps. Ye I get to survey babes when I'm working in town, the university is nice. It's not really a /h/obby, if someone makes a thread ill post more pics and descriptions.

>>1978just buy a mid tier barbell, 3-400 investment will last you a lifetime. get one with some whip and you'll be able to use it for anything
personally i favor cable curls, but since machines are expensive i just hang a weight from a chain and do them like that. i suspect a lot of the 'feel' of a cable curl is the fact that theres no rotational inertia getting imparted to the weight as you move it around your elbow joint

besides, i doubt direct core work will train it more than a gorillion lb deadlift was anyway
i think at the time i was only overhead pressing anyway for upper. my pecs look like that even if i indirectly train them

>>2056they can be used outside but they are not meant to be stored outside. there is a framelock mechanism in the middle where you can separate the rowing machine in two parts. the parts can be stored vertically without needing much space. setting it up or stowing it away takes like a minute.
these machines are super durable. they had them at my gym and the owner told me that they last forever when maintained properly

manulel laborer spigga itt
some days could be lifting mediocre shit whole day endurance building, right right?? other days practically nothingfuck
soo there is a lot of inconsistency
what to fucking do if i want strength
prolly gym would be a bad idea? idk
i was told to hit just legs in the days when im tired
No.2085
>>2081depends what kinda manual shit you're doin tbh
when i was workin at UPS doin unload idk how the fuck anyone could go to the gym after 4-6hr shift
unless you're not workin hard
with any kinda labor i think the most important thing to focus on for long term quality of life is injury prevention. good form, stretching and self massage
anwyay if you want to get strong pick up heavy stuff. since it sounds like your days are variable, just ease off frequency, intensity, or volume on the hard weeks and amp it up on the easy weaks
if you mean more literally 'what to do' then the answer is any linear progression program floatin bout online.
No.2086
>>2076are you talking about Shorksbro™?
No.2087
>>2081it probably wouldnt hurt too much if you lifted heavy on your easier work days and then did some lighter weight higher rep workouts on your shittier days if you have the energy. i also dont get why someone told you doing legs when youre tired is better than other groups like if you get three shitty work days in a row are you going to go do 3 days in a row of squats and deadlifts?
it also depends on how old you are when i was in my 20s and still wageslaving at hard labor jobs i would do ahit like deliver beer and be hauling kegs and shitloads of cases up stairs and hills and still go to the gym after work regardless of how tired i was then wound up big as shit in the process but then i got older and what
>>2085 says about injury prevention and good form became extra important because i wont bounce back from fucking up even half as fast as i used to. thats not to say good form and injury prevention arent important when youre younger too since itll keep you from becoming a broke dick later on but you cant be skipping stretches and get away with it as easily if youre in your 30s or older

i have a set of adjustable (up to 55lbs) dumbbells and thats about all i have space for in my house is there some kinda homemade nigger rigged setup i can whip up for outside that i can use to get swole?
No.2103
>>2102uh, yea dude.
55 is p. light tho, get some 18" spin lock dumbbells you can load them up to like 120 and i doubt it will take up any more room
besides that, just make a deadlift platform and due lifts off the floor. it can live outside, just give the materials some thought if they're liable to get wet
No.2104
>>2103yah i know 55 is light thats why im asking about nigger rigging some outside stonkboy station
>spin lock dbswhat brand do you have?
>besides that, just make a deadlift platform and due lifts off the floor. it can live outside, just give the materials some thought if they're liable to get wetis there a recommended type of plate that wont get fucked up? im most likely gonna have to leave any outside setup completely outside and i need some plates that wont rust or rot because of moisture it gets vary humid here
No.2107
>>2104if you paint them well that should mitigate corrosion. almost any sort of coating would be sufficient, as long as you weren't letting them sit in a puddle or something stupid. taking care of your barbell will be a bigger concern, since it will have bearings and the bar is a significant expense.
even if your plates were bare, the corrosion wouldn't be significant enough to matter in any functional sense (i can break out the corrosion rate charts if you want to know the idea). if your autism demands you dont touch rusty stuff, i recommend just buying some bumper plates which are just steel plates encased in a polyurethane. keep them out of direct sunlight to avoid UV and they'll stay nice
more importantly will be your deadlift platform, which probly wont be able to protect as much from the weather (unless this is going somewhere that is protected from sun/rain but is still outside?
https://yorkbarbell.com/product/york-18-solid-steel-spin-lock-bar-with-collars/id just get these they're cheap as fuck and that might even be what i have. 18" is kinda the sweet spot for spin locks in terms of anything over it and the bar pokes out extremely awkwardly, and anything under it you can't get much weight on.
they take 1" plates which are mostly standard sizes. the bulk of mine are 10lb plates, but they also make 25lb ones (mostly intended for 1" barbells which are dumb) that will have some utility if you do a fuck ton of db work.
personally i just bought enough plates to fill up an entire dumbbell, gives you a lot of utility in the least amount of $
No.2108
>>2107im gonna be setting up like a picnic canopy or something like that the wind in my yard never gets too bad in my backyard so i dont gotta worry about it blowing away but moisture will definitely accumulate
thanks for all the info it should be enough for me to get a gud start. im gonna be building this setup as i go too like i'll get a concrete pad then build a garage on top of it then i can put in some olympic tier shit but thats gonna take a few years unless i get a significant bump in pay somewhere along the line

anyone know how to fix golf elbow? already fell for one yim
take any muscle pain supplement advice for hospice if ur offering too. taking magnesium malate already, but should prob quit chowing kratom
No.2111
>>2109i looked that up and ive been dealing with that for years had no idea there was a specific term for it other than "PAIN"
i would also like to know this
>fell for the kratom yimdo you get withdrawals if you try not to take it?
No.2112
>>2109>>2111literally just stretch as a preventative. stretching fixes like 80% of issues before it even starts. anyway almost all injuries, especially overuse injuries follow the same pattern
a physical therapy textbook would advise you to lay off activity (avoid things that make it painful) until its settled down a bit (i'd recommend until you're pain free during non-intensive day to day tasks), then to do proper stretching (don't overdo it) and a gradual (seriously, slowly build back up) return to activity
continue to stretch as a preventative measure. massage (even self applied) also helps a lot
you'll have to look up what stretches you should do for golfers elbow. also look up how to stretch properly (proper breathing, duration, etc)
