Favorite polo shirts
Posted by GalacticMicrobe99 on 8/27/23 at 4:16 pm
What are some of your favorite polo shirts? I'm looking for something considered business casual, comfortable, and not crazy expensive. Budget is around $75 or less. So far I have looked at Barbell and Under Armour. Any suggestions?

I really like Silverback, minus the Romanian deadlift. I guess I need to work on form.
I'm currently on week 2 of Arm Farm. It's great also, but I commonly underestimate the supersets. It will keep your ego in check.

Same. Overall, I liked Strongville, but it ran long. Now I am doing my personal favorite FOTH. I'm still trying to drop some weight and get strong as hell.

75% of your calculated 90%. You are treating the 90% as your max or "everyday max."

I just finished Strongville and while it's a great program, it was difficult and almost all of my workouts were over an hour. I would probably recommend Silverback also. It is well balanced and not super long.

Strongville is hard. I'm in the middle of week 2. Wish me luck....

I think DC training may be too advanced for me, but I do appreciate the reply.I like PPSA in general and have had good results. I may head back to my favorite so far, Filling Out The Hoodie.
PPSA: 21 to Party?
Posted by GalacticMicrobe99 on 6/5/23 at 11:14 pm
For those of you who have done 21 to Party, can you give an overview/review of the program? I am looking for a program that is a little quicker for Summer and Winter months. The description on the website seems a bit gimmicky and I just want to make sure it is a solid program before purchasing. I am currently doing Strongville and planning the next few months. Thanks for the insight.

lofty are you doing Squatober and just subbing front squats in for regular back squats? I'm currently doing Arm Farm 2 and starting Squatober next.

My favorite is from Silent Hill 2.

Thanks for the reply. I agree. I did the first week of Strongville and the higher % and reps were tough.
re: PPSA: Everyone doing their own plan

I'd like some advice on which order to run the PPSA programs that I already have. I'm 6', 214 lbs, and trying to lose weight. I currently have Silverback, Arm Farm, Filling Out The Hoodie, and Strongville. I eventually want to do Filling Out The Hoodie 2, but I don't feel ready for 5 days per week. Thanks for the help.
re: What protein powder is everyone using now?

Redcon1 MRE lite most days. Occasionally I'll drink MyProtein that I have.
re: PPSA Filling Out the Hoodie vs Arm Farm
Posted by GalacticMicrobe99 on 10/10/22 at 11:34 am to lsu777
I appreciate the replies. For the record, I have completed FOTH1 and did have good strength and size gains. My main question was about the differences in the 2 programs. I notice many of the same lifts from what I can tell. I think I will run FOTH1 again after Silverback, I stead of Arm Farm 2.
I may buy it in the future, but for now my plan is:
Silverback
FOTH1
FOTH2

PPSA Filling Out the Hoodie vs Arm Farm
Posted by GalacticMicrobe99 on 10/8/22 at 9:25 pm
I am planning my next few months of workouts. I have completed FOTH1 and am starting Silverback next week. I am interested in Arm Farm, but it looks quite similar to FOTH1. For those who have done both, what would you say are the main differences? Pros? Cons? I just want to make sure it's worth the purchase or I may repeat workouts a few times. Thanks.
Protein/meal replacement sale
Posted by GalacticMicrobe99 on 9/8/22 at 11:30 am
Just a heads up, I just bought Redcon1 MRE for a decent price. Peanut butter MRE is on sale at Vitamin Shoppe for $42. I use it as a meal replacement and I like most of their flavors.
re: Ordering the Rogue RML -3W wall mount today
Posted by GalacticMicrobe99 on 9/4/22 at 5:35 pm to whiskey over ice
I leave mine out and always set up. It is easy and quick to close though. It probably takes 1-2 minutes.There are 4 pins that you have to take out and then fold up.

I have it in the 21.5" and I really like it. I got it because my space was tight but it has worked out great. It feels very sturdy. It wasn't fun to install, but it's not overly complicated.

As a state right, you would be able to vote against any politician placing a ban. If you don't like it, vote them out. It's much easier at a state level.
re: Where do y'all get your clothes?
Posted by GalacticMicrobe99 on 6/23/22 at 11:03 pm to Dixie Normus
I do think it's more justified for work clothes. I still couldn't do it for casual shirts/pants. I am checking out a few of the brands listed in this thread though.

I was thinking the same thing. I do alright and could never spend that much on pants.
I usually buy Under Armour polos on sale, but the fit can be inconsistent. I'm looking for some alternatives.

re: Trump vs. BDR: Who would be less likely to waste a 4-year term?
Posted by GalacticMicrobe99 on 6/20/22 at 10:28 pm to Eli Goldfinger
I don't understand how people are so quick to disregard Trump and say that Ron DeSantis will be just as good or better. Donald Trump was the best president since I have been alive and got things done. If DeSantis ends up being the nominee, then I wish him the best. He seems capable but I remain skeptical. The likelihood of DeSantis being more effective than Trump is not high. Think of all of the politicians you were wrong about through your lifetime.
re: Front squat programming advice
Posted by GalacticMicrobe99 on 6/14/22 at 11:50 am to Robin Masters
I appreciate all of the responses from everyone. I think for now I will do as was suggested and do front squats as my 2nd squat day of the week. I will plan to add weight the same as GSLP prescribes.
I'm definitely not advanced enough for overhead squats.
I have been doing high-bar back squats almost exclusively, but I enjoy front squats and can see results pretty quickly when doing them.
I would like to get better at Zercher squats, but the times I have tried them was really uncomfortable.

Front squat programming advice
Posted by GalacticMicrobe99 on 6/9/22 at 10:27 pm
I would like some advice for programming front squats. I have been lifting a little over a year, mostly doing GSLP. How would you recommend adding front squats? I think I would like to keep back squats as my main lift. Is this advisable or should I skip front squats for now?
re: Foldable rack
Posted by GalacticMicrobe99 on 9/1/21 at 6:24 pm to Boss
I have the Rogue RML-3W in an area that's 11.5 x 9 feet. It has been great so far. I worried that it would be too small of a space, but it has worked.
re: Home gym advice
Posted by GalacticMicrobe99 on 12/10/20 at 8:38 am to Dixie Normus
I will be doing Greyskull LP. Fairly new to lifting. I don't have much interest in Olympic lifts right now. I am leaning towards iron plates.
re: Home gym advice
Posted by GalacticMicrobe99 on 12/10/20 at 12:06 am to lsu777
What brands do you recommend for barbells and plates? It's a bit tough for me to get past Rogue's shipping prices. I would like to look locally for plates in Texas if they are in stock. Any brands to avoid? I am going to pull the trigger soon on the Rogue folding half rack in 3"x3". Any thoughts on the Rogue echo bar or Rogue bar 2.0? I'm keeping an eye on the Boneyard stuff.
re: Home gym advice
Posted by GalacticMicrobe99 on 12/3/20 at 11:34 pm to lsu777
Thanks for all of the solid advice. I will update once I pull the trigger. May I ask why you suggest a raw steel bar? Are most of the bar finishes personal preference? I guess I would worry about rust.
re: Home gym advice
Posted by GalacticMicrobe99 on 12/2/20 at 12:14 am to lsu777
Thanks everyone for the replies. I have 10' ceilings so that should be fine. My main concern was the width of the room and the length of the barbell in there. One side of the room is partially open so the bench and everything will clear. I have a cheap flat bench now and will upgrade in the future. A few other questions I have:
Why is 3"x3" important? Durability vs accessory availability?
If I go with a half rack, does it have to be bolted down?
I plan to get some rings in the future also. For conditioning, I plan on doing Peloton and burpees. I just hate running. Thabks again.

Home gym advice
Posted by GalacticMicrobe99 on 12/1/20 at 12:24 am
I am looking into adding a home gym to do Greyskull LP. The room I will likely use is 10'9" x 6'10". The squat racks I am currently looking at for my use are the Rogue RE-3 echo and the Rogue SML-2 monster lite 90" squat stand. I would like to know what everyone thinks about these. Also, I am concerned about space. Do you think my area is large enough for a full-size barbell or should I consider a shorter length bar? Thanks for your help.
