NATTY OR NOT 💉 (it’s so obvious)
I don’t want to say it’s the best I’ve ever been but it’s true! The plan is to only get stronger and stronger!
I thought nattys were supposed to peak at 10 years of training…

Home gyms are just too expensive and I’ll never win anything other than a participation medal so I might as well just try to make a little money on my broken dreams of being a fitness influencer 😭

This guy is beyond cringy
I know you are but what am I?
doing this with gym music is even crazier than the lift itself
@@B1u3Drak0 could be worse. LA Fitness’ playlist is downright awful
Amazon you can get a cap brandex 80$ barbell real barbell instead....
@@CocoKoi321 why stop there, just grab a Titan fitness or bells of steel bar for just $70-$100 more and you’ll have a bar that’ll stand the test of time and bear more weight than you can lift 💪🏼
Walmart do I look like Elon musk I bought gym of temu
@@Fellashub maybe that’s the video I should do next
omg
Thinking about getting my girl the bella bar but im afraid shell never use it.. is that the case or how did you make it more fun for her
@@dereksantillan9352 hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha It’s a chance you choose to take, you know. If she went to gym before you guys met/dated, consider buying the bar. I’m sure she’d like it. Maybe one day my wife will give the gym another chance
Great work 👊👊
I literally had the same set up at 1999. The colors were different think they were light gray if I remember. It got me into fitness buy everything from a coworker for like $80 except for the dumbbells I think I got Powerblock. Of a yard sale 30 bucks with a stand.
@@flexapex9801 what a deal!
@@TrainerBigMike it really was I still kept the power blocks and stand sold them during the pandemic for 600 bucks I replace them. After the pandemic for 200.
Want to buy the 5ft barbell with weights, I am stay at home in 2024 that’s a beginner and prefer to do hip thrust with a barbell instead of dumbbell
@@bettinaorevil5056 you can probably find a 7ft bar for the same price or cheaper with a higher load capacity and more versatility (bar and sleeve length) weights can be found used for $.75/lb and new on Amazon for about $.9-$1/lb. No need to pay more if you’re just starting out
I'm 70 and in month 4 of recovering from what they call a golfers elbow injury. I have been able to do hammers and do reverse curls with my standard EZ-Curl bar with this injury but obviously lighter weight then I usually use. Just got my super EX-Curl bar today and I can do regular curls with it without any discomfort in my elbow. I'll work into it slowly as far as the weight I use but believe it will be a great addition for arms day. When you alter your grip position from single hand weight hammer curls to my standard EZ-Curl Bar on my preacher curl bench to standing with the Super EZ-Curl bar each one stresses the arms a little different which is great for growth and muscle cut. So as of today I would recommend adding a Super EZ-Curl Bar to your equipment. I'll know better in about 3 months by my arm growth and cut but after the first day I'm sold on it.
@@kevinthrun8262 really appreciate the feedback, fortunately I can’t tell the difference, but I definitely haven’t used a regular curl bar since getting this so that’s gotta say something 💪🏼
Looks like Titan got a taste of their own medicine. Knock off of knock off of the Elite SS Yoke. I really wish the Elite bar would come out in the USA with normal size collars
That's really all they have to do. Such a strong following
two words. facebook marketplace.
@@thomassutherland5188 you can definitely find some deals on there now. When I made this video it was still cheaper to buy in most stores/online cause people (in my area at least) were gouging prices hard
That's why you were trying to do. How did you not see it coming sir 😅😂😂
My prep was awful
Well dang 🎉
500 coming soon 😈
My gym just got this one. Tried it out today with Hatfield squats and was pretty solid.
Solid indeed
If you have the $$$ to upgrade I say get a X3. Most affordable 3x3
You will be powerlifter keep it up!!
I’d say your clearly over 180 lbs. what home gym equipment? Anything you recommend or have used for leg extensions that doesn’t break the bank? Nice seeing your videos, keep them coming 👍🏼
Thanks bro! I’m actually only 172 right now lol but thanks And this Marcy deluxe bench is really the only bench that has that attachment for less than $200. It’s only slightly better than the ones that come with a stand but it’s about $300 cheaper than the next level options
I need to master the 30s gym tour.
Hahaha it just happened, really love my space right now
Amazed how many people have no cardio in their programing
The latter half of last year I went on a cardio kick and then it just slowly fell off due to “time constraints.” Honestly, I just don’t like it and I’ll probably never stick to it. The closest thing I could see myself doing is weightlifting 🤷🏻♂️ Doc says I got a 47 bpm so the good ole heart is doing better than anyone I know 💪🏼
nice gym .. r u using the camera mic while talking ? u can go with a wireless mic or a video mic .. that can hugely improve ur videos. U don’t know me, i’m the editor of the Camber Fitness channel u just commented. let me know if u need a remote editor for ur videos 🙂💪 .. keep up the good work
No I need to get one. I like editing my own videos but thank you
@@TrainerBigMike thats cool .. keep up the good work .. hi frm India 🇮🇳… and yes, the microphone will hugely help, it will reject the noise from the outside and give u a clean audio. Audio is the most important thing when it comes to video making. I personally make videos on camera tech .. it was nice to meet u, where r u frm ?
i am your 900th subscriber
👏👏👏👏👏 yeah buddy!!! 🙏🏼
One max rep PR!!! LFG
Yes sir trying to become swole dad mode like you
🎉🎉super🎉🎉
Keep it up. Meet is going to come up fast but I'm following along until July.
It really will and I appreciate that 💪🏼
Kgs seem heavier 👊
I'm looking forward to tackling this program once I'm finished with Anabolic this week.
I 100% recommend performance too
Instagram brother..
Great point. I often find that people think it’s not a good enough hobby. I’ll tell people that’s my main hobby they say “what else do you do…?” Haha
Man I need to go to yalls competition, I could strict and preacher 120 a few years ago
Oh definitely, let’s see it!
@TheStrengthMission ahh ur right, it shouldn't be I use to. My new resolve is to un quit fitness. Appreciated bro.
@@dalemaloney5803 May the Gainz be with you brother 🦾
That was hilarious! The stand was more sturdy with the over capacity level of weight. The whole set up is a disaster in the making. Take that $500 and join a gym. Then when you can afford it, go elsewhere for better quality. I bought budget gym equipment at Dick's Sporting Goods and Dunhams's 25 years ago and still use it multiple times a week. Nothing is broken and still looks good. That Walmart junk would last a month if you are lucky.
I used a similar setup for almost a year before COVID, wasn’t very strong though and immediately upgraded as soon as I could. I would say saving up and getting the stuff you really want is the best option.
Hey, what about your flooring, im looking to get something like that that's affordable, any leads please? Thanks a lot!
I got 3x4 stall mats cause they were the cheapest/durable but of course nobody was selling 4x6 at the time but now you can get stall mats of any size pretty much anywhere. Cheapest option would be to look on facebook marketplace, I’ve seen 4x6 stall mats for $25 pretty much all the time. Otherwise, new, it’s gonna run you about $900 to cover a whole garage I wouldn’t even consider anything cheaper cause it just won’t last or take too much of a beating.
@TheStrengthMission thanks a lot for your time and the information, really appreciate it! All the best!
This one and the titan are probably made in the same factory in china
Almost definitely
Reply if you’d like effective and affordable online coaching!
Nice layout. Appreciate the honesty.
wish I caught this on black Friday, just ordered mine for $219.
Still a great price honestly
Great video and content delivery. I myself am looking for a long term rack but 3x3 instead of 2x2 due to long term attachment compatibility
Yeah I definitely wouldn’t buy budget on a 3x3. Just feels wrong lol
@@TrainerBigMike doesn’t Titan offer a 3x3 rack relatively cheaper than Rep or Rogue?
@@FrostyFingaz yes I think @glucksgym has done a review on it, seems like a good value. I just meant not a rack from Walmart or Amazon lol
I know this is old but i cant do incline bench, the bench isnt far back enough
It’s a little tricky for sure, I always had to unrack and then slide down but definitely not optimal
Hitting us with the double bicep right off the top
I know what the people really want, why waste their time

You getting bigger bro 👏🏾👏🏾💪🏽🫡
Bro! Thanks man, sometimes it’s hard to see any changes
Lbs 🫡💪🏽
Great advice on listening to your body telling you about a drop in technique. It’s hard to do sometimes, but better to live to fight another day!
Yeah it can definitely be a little muddled but that’s why a standardized rep is desired, so there’s a baseline for reference. Especially here where I could’ve got another rep or two but my knee caved and my hips shifted, no way to talk my way into that
Dude your squat depth is crazy
@@kenwesty thanks, it took a long time to get to that 💪🏼
Props kid it took me a while crack 500 and even longer to crack 550 u got this don't ever stop
Thanks I’ll get it soon 💪🏼
Not even lifting straps, thats for real impressive! GG brother
🙏🏼 never got used to straps
Keep flexing brother wow fantastic transformation since when you started your videos till now amazing 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💪🏽🫡 blessings love from the 956 Texas love
Bro thanks a lot for sticking around and yeah I thought I was strong back then lol
He said I don't need to have a good back
Is this Opposite Day?
@@TrainerBigMike he was dead lifting with his back and not his legs. It will mess up his lower back
@@jakechappell2763 who told you this?
@BigMikeMuscle I use to do a lot of lifting when I was in high school, and lower body workouts was my favorite, squats, leg press, and dead lift.
@BigMikeMuscle and I've hurt my back doing it like that. And I regret it, like it's something I have to consider before I pick stuff up and how.
Easier is not the same as easy- that's big fu%*ing weight. Right on brother
Thank you! 👏👏👏
