Prices aren't bad there but I like to buy local and used. Lol
I picked up 2k+ worth of equipment a few years ago for 500 bucks.
Looking so the same this year.
I local guy has a bunch of stuff I'd like to have and he wants 1300 so I should be able to get it for 8-900. Lol
I love seeing what cash will make people do.

When I started training, back when I was 16, 9 years ago, I trained for a year straight at home. Wasn't bad, was seeing results, and enjoyed just waking up, hitting the weights first thing after I brush my teeth. Had my big ass speakers, and used to kill it.

However As soon as I tried out a gym for the first time when I was 17.... That was a whole new level to me personally.

Saw BIG time results. And I personally enjoy a different atmosphere. When I am at the gym. It's war. It's a mind thing. I go to destroy. When I'm at home... it's just different. Gets boring. I lose motivation easily.

Ever since then... every time I was forced to workout at home... was lame... I just could never be as motivated and fired up as when I would be at the gym.

But hey, that's ''me''. I love a place where my mind can be 100% in the zone.

And xxiv, dude you have a good base man. All you gotta do now, is set up a good diet that will make your body a fatburning machine.
Once you get that going, all else will fall in place. I can't wait to see you ripped my friend!!!!! DO IT!

thanks, i appreciate that... my diet is revolving around 2 meals a day of oats, nuts and berries and 2 meals of quinoa, veggies and sometimes a meat. No drank calories aside from a post w/o shake. I really need to set up something a little more scientific to really get things going.
Getting cardio into my routine has been difficult.

Lol
I think I need to go the other way.
Chest and arm strentgh aren't my strong points so I need the lighter 35-50s right now.
Got that set so I can start doing drop sets and all the good stuff easily.
I may be picking up even more equipment this weekend, and I'll be sure to get a killer deal on that stuff too.

I have 3 full days off, i have not had 3 full days off since march of 08... I'm not on call this week and I only have a few hours of side work to do on wednesday so it's almost like 4 days off. I am using this break to get my cardio routine going. I did 20 mins on the rower this morning and 10 on the bike... nothing too coo-coo but it's a start.

I have been feeling thrusters and am doing tripples of 155 and hitting singles of 185. I feel like when i get some synergy be maxing out at my body weight.
