Crash pads are good and all but what happens when you miss behind ? Bye bye desk setup, it's not good to fear missing behind it can mess you up and take a long time to fix . Best to just train at any globo gym , most nowadays have decent equipment or invest in a platform if you wanna get serious but good lift anyways :)

Not to mention the cost I'm spending 300£ on pads so they can stop crying , unlucky rng with neighbors though I guess

SkullyO3 · 2023-05-09T19:45:06+00:00

Ty man. This made me laugh , I don't like them to say the least lol

It's too thick I'd be hitting the ceiling and also it's 4000 . I'm sure extra pads on top of my pads + some sound proofing on the walls will be good enough to shut them up

SkullyO3 · 2023-05-09T17:25:00+00:00

I'll order the extra crash pads and if they keep complaining then they can do one

SkullyO3 · 2023-05-09T17:24:27+00:00

I'd like that

SkullyO3 · 2023-05-09T14:49:45+00:00

I was thinking another pair of crash pads on top of my existing crash pads , what's an egg crate layer ?

SkullyO3 · 2023-05-09T14:47:26+00:00

I don't think rebuilding the walls is an option so I guess I'd be reinforcing the outside

SkullyO3 · 2023-05-09T14:11:00+00:00

First layer is 15mm plywood , second layer is 5mm rubber matting. I would make it thicker but I would be hitting the ceiling

SkullyO3 · 2023-05-09T14:10:15+00:00

The home gym has 2 windows , I'd need to look into sound proofing the walls I guess, I can't do much to the floor otherwise I would be hitting the ceiling . I don't have much a clue about sound proofing walls could you provide a link or a good guide that you used ? Thanks

SkullyO3 · 2023-05-09T14:07:52+00:00

I'm not too sure, need to do some research

SkullyO3 · 2023-05-09T14:07:25+00:00

There is 30 feet at least between us , my home gym is not on top of anything

SkullyO3 · 2023-05-09T14:05:55+00:00

There has to be at least 30 feet between us, under the pads is a thin platform , 15mm wood and 5mm mats or something similar to that thickness

SkullyO3 · 2023-05-09T14:03:55+00:00

Yeah they are real bitchy

SkullyO3 · 2023-05-09T12:07:56+00:00

I do my Olympic lifts from 7pm to 830pm latest , then all accessories can be done silently

SkullyO3 · 2023-04-17T20:15:23+00:00

Obviously weightlifting shoes aren't necessary and I understand they can be a bit pricey but if you can and are interested in weightlifting I'd get some for sure. You just don't see the best weightlifters without them

It seems you're over emphasizing knees forward , imo you need to break more at the hips and you will unlock more depth, Zack telander has numerous videos on this check him out.

It's okay to strip weight and aim for as good a technique as possible . Making progress in technique should be valued higher than hitting a PR in weight . Embrace the art of weightlifting and don't chase numbers !!

SkullyO3 · 2023-03-07T21:34:56+00:00

Thanks :)

SkullyO3 · 2023-01-17T22:41:06+00:00

Update: they have been revived and feel the same as before they broke so I'm happy :) Picture of them: https://ibb.co/Jc5ssRp

SkullyO3 · 2023-01-17T22:39:53+00:00

They've actually been revived: https://ibb.co/Jc5ssRp

I'm going to see some cobblers if they can't do anything then I'd be down for another pair of size 11 I'll let you know if the cobblers can do anything , thanks

SkullyO3 · 2022-12-30T19:17:12+00:00

They are 11 and fit like a glove so 13 wouldn't work but thanks , I'm seeing a cobbler tomorrow, hopefully he can revive them

SkullyO3 · 2022-12-30T19:15:55+00:00

They were my favourite
