anyone else just lift at home? i've been collecting stuff for close to 20 years now. the hard part is as you get stronger, new stuff is always more expensive. walmart has a great deal on big dumbbells right now

Grabbed 450 lbs various weigths:

Barbell is...meh, but it's red!


And finally:


I already have 55lb adjustables for dumb bells.

Just need a wide lat bar and a couple bench press chains.

Is that like having flames painted in your car? Does red bars add +5 instant to PRs?

Red is the brand new hotness.

What's up bros. 40 year old boomer here. I been really slacking on my fitness (mainly diet/cardio) recently but trying to get myself rededicated. Anyone in this thread still lift?

Went in and did legs tonight

Has anyone used the power matrix before? I've always been a 12/10/8 guy, lower reps and higher weight haven't been something I've considered due to working out solo in my garage.

Last night for flat bench, I did the 305 section ,except I did 230 on the final set and went for 10 reps. 280 for singles felt very hard and not sure I'll be able to do 285s next week
