Fok the gym

Pre-Workout Meal:

I eat the steak and over-easy eggs along with the rice and beans pre-workout, and I wash it down with Diet Coke.


Intra-workout:

I only eat the steak and eggs while I'm working out.  Meats and eggs have a very low insulinogenic effect which is good because you don't want to sugar crash while you workout because it will weaken your lifts and hence you won't get strong.

As you can see, I only have a limited amount of steak so I try and pace my eating, so I can have some for all three phases of workout supplementation:  pre-, intra-, and post-workout.

Workout Equipment:

This is my deadlift station.  The big rebar loop hanging out of the concrete block is good for single- and double-handed isometric rack pulls. Unfortunately there's no way to gauge if I'm getting stronger with isometric movements, but I can swear I feel that rebar giving way like I'm bending it upwards.

The smaller rebar loop on the bottom makes for a nice Ass-to-Grass single- or double-handed isometric deadlift.  I try to get my center of gravity over that loop, sink either one or both shoulders way back like I'm stuffing my hand or hands in my backpockets, and activate my glutes and calves and try to bend that rebar upwards.

Dip station:

Put either hand on one side and the other goes on the other side.  Dip in between the concrete blocks.


Lat Station:

Wrap one or both hands around that angled pole and then plant both feet on the edge of that sheet metal base, use your torso and legs as dead weight to provide some resistance, and shred your lats and biceps until they burn like battery acid.


Pullup station:

Wrap both hands on top of that horizontal piece of steel and you got your pull up bar.












Some notable mentions:

I use that curb in the first picture for uneven pushups.  They serve as a progression to eventual one hand pushups.  

The other pictures just show some gripping points that I could contract large muscle groups with isometric deadlift pulls.  

Pistol Squat station:

Steady yourself by latching the hand closest to your leg you're trying to pistol squat with.  Then slide the hand down the pole as you lower your body to the ground.

Hand protection:

I don't want to mangle my hands so I wear these gloves.
