Haven't really ventured into this thread but during COVID I started a gym t-shirt business. I would love to get feedback from the lifters on here!
Late to this but I was looking for 2x20 LB dumbells since March every day and found them at Dick's in Maspeth after Labor Day. They had a bunch available.Does anyone know where I could order 20lb dumbbells for a reasonable price? I donated my old ones when I moved and have been using the quarantine and WFH situation to get in shape again - don’t have a sturdy enough door frame for a pull up bar and my chest is getting out of balance with my back. Really need dumbbells to do rows but I can’t find them anywhere, presumably I’m not the only one trying to work out more from home with everything going on.
The loss of strength is frustrating. Starting to work on re-building it Starting Strength style.Been lifting heavily since June w/ me mates, totally wrecked my back squatting last week so I've been taking a break.
Definitely going to be a step back in my lifts when I start up again.
If you haven't tried already I would elevate your heels while squatting when you go back to take some pressure off.Been lifting heavily since June w/ me mates, totally wrecked my back squatting last week so I've been taking a break.

For those who have gone back to the gym, how is everyone feeling?
Am still working on getting strength back. Conditioning as well. Both are slowly coming. I also found that proper form for the more complicated lifts went to hell as well. Working on getting that back.
And just for fun, what is your favorite & least favorite lift? Or workout if not a regular lifter?
The snatch is like golf, a fickle, fickle mistress. That one lift has every single one of my weaknesses in it. I also hate squatting, but understand that legs are everything. So I continue to do all three.Deadlift is and always will be my favorite lift but I’m really enjoying all of my shoulder accessories right now. Becoming my favorite day, especially rear delts.

View attachment 368486 First time back on the ice in over a year. Should count as cardio for the month. My hands are still there but holy crap are my calves burning.
Nice stick, I still have a Stealth laying around in my garage that I break out, not my 'daily driver' though. Scared as shit to break it because it's my last Easton I have left.
So for the third time in my life, had a workout that I actually booted after. First time I was hungover and off a plane ride the night before so not sure if it counts. But yeah, this morning after my strength portion, I was doing my conditioning piece. About 5 minutes after it being over, off I went.
So now I am curious (and there is nothing really else going on hockey wise right now), what workout (if any) have you done that have made you feel that way?
Did the strength piece today. Then the conditioning was 5 rounds of 10 pull ups, 20 power snatches (very light weight at 75), 30 front squats (again 75 pounds). 2 minutes of rest between the rounds. I fooled myself into thinking that the light weight was going to make this easier. Boy, was I wrong. The sheer volume did me in.In college, if we had a crap practice (or the team seemed hungover) or if we had a really bad game, our coach would put a bucket upside down on the center ice dot and sprint us until someone booted. It was never me.
Getting back into the gym about 2 months ago we ran 315x8 deads EMOM and it had been so long since I’d moved any kind of weight that I knew I was going to boot so I sat the last two rounds out.
I’ve been close a good handful of times but I’ve never actually pulled the trigger.
Started getting into climbing recently, despite being petrified of heights. Great overall workout and the rush I get from actually getting to the top of a wall+the problem solving along the way is something else. The amount of indirect contact with countless people is worrying though. Fortunately no scares yet.
Does anyone have any advice as far as how to get in to hockey right now? I'm talking basement level basics of skating/puck handling/etc. Of all the rinks near me, they either don't do beginner lessons/sessions for adults, or they do but they were only offered at like 12pm. Is my best bet to find some place that offers open stick & puck times at non-ridiculous times and go from there?
