If the average guy spent more time not being average, then average wouldn't be so fucking mediocre - Hank

I have an axle bar and don't care for it for either deadlifts or rows. I don't want my grip to be a limiting factor on either of those life; I also have chronic tendonitis in both elbows so the larger bar doesn't help there either.
Where I do like it is for landmine stuff so I don't fuck up my good barbells unnecessarily and for pressing stuff where the larger diameter actually reduces hand fatigue. For some reason I also like it for clean and press. |

View Quote One is the type that anchors on the floor by inserting the end into a stack of plates. The pro is that you can set it up pretty much anywhere. The cons are that it takes time to setup and tear down when you use it and if you only have bumpers, you can only stack so much weight to anchor it (due to plate thickness) which can be limiting on heavier lifts. The other one I have is the type that ties directly to a cage/rack. This is the one I generally use although I have it attached to a strip on the wall, rather than an actual rack. |

Being home has really gotten me lazy again. I used the garage rack for a few workouts while on quarantine but considering I've only got a pair of 45s and a pair of 35s it was more cardio than anything.
I did do a ruck yesterday, strapped a 35lb plate to the in side of an Eberlystock and did 6 miles in 93 minutes. Which is decent for no workup and basically no rucking since Oct. My feet are traaaashed though, need to toughen my lady feet up significantly to get back to being a ruck machine. |

I decided to pass on both. The sled would be cool, but the only time of year I could use it, I wouldn't use it.
I think I'm gonna order an Echo Bike from Rogue once work starts back up instead. That way I can use it inside all winter, and if I want to be in nature I can drag it out on the front porch in the summer. I just really need to get some more steady state work done. I've never enjoyed running, especially when doing it for sports, but I have to do something. |

I fucking hate it but you last 5 words are the gospel. I need to too. When I ran every day, getting winded just wasn't a thing. It didn't exist. 9 flights of stairs, fuck it, I'm not waiting for that elevator. I've kept up on my HIIT, short term type cardio, and it helps a lot, but it's just not the same. I can tell my lungs aren't in the condition they should be, and my resting HR hits 70 every now and then now. I'm really thinking of just putting the Echo Bike on my credit card so I can get it here and get using it while work is still slow. I hate using the CC, but it shouldn't be a big deal to pay it off in a month or two. |

I snagged an echo bike off some weirdo on marketplace. $600 with the wind guard. He put it together and used it once or twice. I've been using it everyday for hiit which I'm pretty sure that's what it's designed for. I can get done in under 10 minutes and it kicks my ass.
If your using it in a garage, I'd highly suggest the wind guard if you can get one. I tried it without one for a minute and it blew a bunch of dust in my eyes from the garage. |
