Fitness and strength training is something that I have always been passionate about. However like many of you, with work, kids, marriage, you know... responsibilities, I found myself falling off the fitness wagon and back on then off again. Well folks, those days are over! You see, it's all about balancing my life and finding space for the things that not only make me happy, but make me healthy. So, with the help of RU-vid as a form of self-motivation to stay on track, I will make sure to get and stay on the fitness wagon for the long run. Life is a roller coaster, cliché I know. There will be ups, and there will be downs. Enjoy the ups, and when you are down just know that the ride isn't over. Through trial and error, and the pursuit of my goals, I WILL find my untapped strength.
How often has it been used during those 4 years ? Definitely on my garage gym wish list, I have the c2 bike, rower and Skierg, all of which are amazing.
You are my inspiration. I am 5ft7 " , 171lbs, and 64 yrs old. Our pound ages used for training are about the same. I subscribed to your channel. Nice to meet you and stay in touch. Nice videos 👍🏿👍🏿🙏🏿💯👑
I know this video is hella old, but I have a question about your wind shield. Is that from Rouge? I have the Echo Bike V3 and that thing isn’t half the size of yours lol
Outstanding! I'm 68 and have a stack of 10 blocks outside. Most times as I go out, I move one, some, or all of the blocks a few feet away or further, and into the garage in winter. Been doing this for years and with a tight core, good form, and proper breathing, it's a great functional movement that helps greatly in real life. Simple stuff is best.
This only works with very light weights! With that kind of load, goblet squats would be quicker and easier. If you made this with a bigger board and then use 45-pound plates on top of either side to counterbalance the weight being pulled.
@@flink85 Um, I have no idea what you mean by "high reps." I do belt squats in a setup similar to the setup in this video using five 20kg plates for about 15-20 reps. That is what I would call a high rep range. In this video, he only uses 20 pounds because using much more weight would be difficult and the closer you approach your own bodyweight, the more impossible it would become. AND if 20-pound goblet squats are too much load on your spine, then you are seriously in trouble and should seek medical attention.
@@Abraham_Kist-Okazaki 15-20 would be higher yes. Well the entire point is to be able to load legs properly without loading the spine. Goblets are good for beginners learning the squatting pattern. However, when the legs get stronger your core, wrists, upper back etc will give out before your legs.
@@flink85 And my point is that 20-pound belt squats in this setup aren't enough to load the legs enough to load the legs and that it would be no more effective than goblet squats.
congratulations on the video💪 where you ordered the air cover so big? because on the site I found only the short one but it seems to me useful.. thanks💪
The platform should be closer to the rack so that the cable is nearly vertical and won't want to pull you forward. That puts you within arms reach of the weight so you can set up a rope loop attached to the top of the tower to loop around the weight holder so that you can start in the standing position.
Somehow my bench went down using a slingshot(actual one) I don’t know how it’s even possible but my one rep max decreased using a slingshot. Any reasons this could be the case? Is it all mental?
