I was doing 5 x 5 though, and whilst it would be nice to see strength gains show through in my rowing and cycling I’m more bothered about not losing muscle mass as the years have pick by. Oh, and looking hench.😂😂😂
Dave A Aug 2024 10:43am, 11 Aug 2024 24,303 posts	Quote Pin Dave A Morning. Can anyone recommend a decent workout station that will have a high bar for pull/chin ups, lower bars for dips and that I can incorporate core strength work as well. Current pull up bar is one of those that goes in the door frame and the 1930’s house is feeling the effects of it. Current dips are done seated and looking to modify. The inky chance I get to modify is when I use the work gym. I’ve looked online but quite a range of choice with a range of reviews.

I’ve just redone “Cindy” in his morning. 14 rounds, so 2 more than a week ago, but still 2-and-a-bit rounds short of my all time best, although I was moving a good 12lbs less weight back then.

I would say just try to stick to a known brand for peace of mind that the materials will hold up and have been designed well. Mirafit are usually reasonably priced.

Maclennane Aug 2024 1:04pm, 13 Aug 2024 32,663 posts	Quote Pin Maclennane very late to the creatine discussion here, I feel like it makes a substantial difference, and not just in the lifting, I kept taking it when injured because I just feel better on it. Finally had a barbell in my hands last night, just light BP, and my wrist felt very weak, but good to be getting back
