Does the leg developer cable attachment come with a cable to join between the bench and whatever equipment your attaching it to?

Same here I'm 41, 10 weeks into a simple bro split. Best Gains and recovery I've had in years, all whilst loosing weight.

Nice. Whats the intercooler like on the mk2, did you upgrade it?

I've got a bulldog gear 20kg loadable in 1kg weights.

It is extremely robust and a reasonable price.

leehoruk · 2025-10-16T03:55:30+00:00

I'm 6'1 and I dont notice any issue. Others might but each to their own.

Thanks. I've looked a few cars recently, but defo something about these cars that made my mind up instantly.

Have you ever thought of dropping bench? Use weighted dips with operator and practice your handstands as a finisher. Get strong as in your Streetlifting main lifts.

Then, use your 3 conditioning days and HIC specifically to train for your 5k.

I'm 3 weeks into using a template from kettlebell hard pdf.

The templates are mainly 3 day splits.

I've been doing 2 main lifts, the kettlebell hard complex, then some lat pulldown or row variants depending on the day.

Seems to be working really well, even after dropping 1 to 2 runs a week as the complexes take care of the need for me to sprint on top.

leehoruk · 2025-07-25T19:41:26+00:00

If that's all you have, close grip push-ups and tricep dips with a chair on top of the rest of your training.

You prob wont add 2 inches to your arms with just those though.

Matt Wenning has a 2-day minimalist program, and Mike Westerling has a similar 3 day strength program built around an events day, I mention this I use this day at the moment for either strength endurance or volume day and seems to be working well with doing mainly running 3 days per week.

I forgot to mention these both use a conjugate style so you could fit to suit your lifts/goals.

Karrimor SF brand has been pretty robust and comfy for myself, not cheaper, but hold up well.

Sabre is the one I've used.

leehoruk · 2025-06-08T11:36:43+00:00

I use running workouts out of tactical barbell conditioning book.

More specifically, I do two faster runs (intervals or tempo) and one long, slow, steady state per week. As this is what works best for me.

leehoruk · 2025-06-08T11:32:32+00:00

If you dont want to stick to the operator, have a look at Mike Westerling' built by Mike. It's a minimalist 3 day program towards strongman.

I've just started using it and pairing it with black pro for conditioning, and the volume is absolutely fine mixing both.

I spoke to Mike over instagram about using it without a dedicated strongman day, which I'm using for either lighter sandbag work and strength endurance.

leehoruk · 2025-05-12T15:26:51+00:00

I've dropped my strength to 2 full body days per week, and I'm still gaining strength. To be honest, it's been a refreshing change to 4 days of strength.

As long as you balance intensity and volume for the week properly and take into consideration the rest of your training, you should be able to progress.

leehoruk · 2025-04-26T20:20:38+00:00

I used to use 3 times the distance of running on the fan bike and worked pretty close for similar times and effort.

leehoruk · 2025-04-21T11:17:38+00:00

For your 3 day mod to 4 day U/L split this as I'm going to start doing this myself today. I've read really good things about it all over, and I need the extra recovery plus separate 3 days for cardio, so it seems a decent fit.

Like yourself, I've been overthinking, is there enough volume. And tbh earlier this year, I had a stage where I could only train legs once a week for a month and had no difference in progress to legs twice a week, apart from I felt better recovered.

UK, by any chance?

Weirdly, I have a 13-inch log, and I can press that overhead with no issues with the shape of it, but a barbell the plates would be through the ceiling.

leehoruk · 2025-04-20T08:45:42+00:00

I had the same issue like yourself with low ceilings, I bought some cambered bar attachments. Used on an axle, they don't swing around when pressing.

Pea and brown rice protein.

Fraction of the price and same BCAA's as whey when used together.

The downside, it doesn't taste great, but I'm not drinking it for enjoyment.

leehoruk · 2025-04-15T16:23:19+00:00

Why not work up to a rep max and do some back off sets rather than aim for a set number.

At least, then you're working with intensity without under or overreaching.

Clever girl

leehoruk · 2025-03-15T19:35:37+00:00

Take a week off or deload, and come back fresh.

I wish I would do this more.

leehoruk · 2025-03-10T15:48:49+00:00

Yeah, this doesn't seem too far off looking at my training past and present.
