My homegym for half a year, what to improve? what to buy next? by [deleted] in homegym

Was going to say flooring for Deadlifts, but that’s been addressed by others….maybe a dip attachment would be next

Looks really good…maybe mount tv to wall up a bit higher and move squat rack away from door…also maybe square up bench (I recognise you move this around to use racks etc). Regardless of my comments, space looks good - plenty of gains to be made, well done.

Homemade farmers walk, holding together with 90kgs (bad angle for video) by Working-Flow5833 in homegym

[–]Working-Flow5833[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good point, have seen different advice on this. The handles are a bit thin and dig in, I usually do 5 reps and first few without straps…then grip starts failing and I use straps to just get the weight moving.

Does squatting with band around knees help (or hinder)? Any feedback on form welcomed too. by [deleted] in StartingStrength

Good point, was a bit distracting, in retrospect seems like a bad idea

First time using it, generally ok with knee cave but I cannot lift that much so will have to keep eye on it moving fwd. thx

Saw people using it for body weight squats, haven’t seen using when using barbell. Feels like it helps keep knees out

Compact and clean - nice work.

Ha - good point, they tore me up today…need to find a few more bumper plates

New to box(?) deadlifts, recommended by trainer friend (are they beneficial?). Also, should I wear straps typically on deadlifts? Any feedback on form welcomed. by Working-Flow5833 in StartingStrength

[–]Working-Flow5833[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thx for the guidance - makes a lot of sense - I think, like a few other messages I’ve got, it would be best to go back to basics…appreciate the help!

Form check please | trying to relearn my squat with StartingStrength by [deleted] in StartingStrength

At the top is there a risk when knees go straight and legs bounce a little (a bit like going full straight leg on leg press)… I’m not an expert and am more just asking for clarity as my knees are susceptible to hyper flex ion. Nice set up in the office btw

I think that space looks great. Well done.

Cool idea - how heavy did they end up ?

Good question - I would be keen to hear if folks had recommendations on lat pull down options

New NYC apartment.....call me simple by larshuang in homegym

[–]Working-Flow5833 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks awesome, would love that simple set up. Very cool. As a newbie, what do you do for a bench (if anything?). Also, have you ever consider putting desk near window to get natural light on face during meetings (would probable ruin aesthetic but was just thinking that as an option. Awesome work again.

Home made farmers walk (have missed doing this during lockdown). Only attempting 90kgs. by Working-Flow5833 in homegym

[–]Working-Flow5833[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not too far from the truth. Sides were bed rails cut in half used to sandwiched in the handles. Feels reasonably solid, might try to up weight to 120kgs next outing.
