2. The only thing that matters is whether or not I'm performing working sets >30-85% of 1RM (1 rep max) >5-30 reps >within 0-4 reps of CMF (concentric muscle failure)
therefore the actual weight doesn't matter as long as it's enough to perform a working set.
3. I can add more water jugs.
everyone has to start somewhere.

Well, we’ll have to agree to make some assumptions. But the good news is that these assumptions are not arbitrary. The assumptions we will make actually reflect the structure of most training done for muscle size. From now on and in the following articles published in this guide, we are assuming each “working set” to be:
>Between 30%1RM and 85%1RM on average >Between 5 reps per set and 30 reps per set on average >Between 4 reps and 0 reps away from concentric muscular failure (4 RIR – 0 RIR)
Waste of my time. Why would I: >get dressed >walk through the hot sun to the gym >lift in front of other people >walk home >wash dirty clothes
EVERY time I want to lift when instead I could simply: >take off all my clothes >lift immediately in the comfort of my own home >shower
It's faster, costs nothing, and doesn't make me waste time washing clothes when I don't need to.
i love these ghetto diy fitness contraptions. i remember when i didn't have enough money for a barbell, so i tied a bunch of microwave transformers that i salvaged from the trash to a long pole. good times.
My 1 rep max personal best is 100 lbs. This is 33⅓ lbs and therefore SHOULD be enough weight to engage muscular hypertrophy in the light range (20-30 reps), assuming it's enough weight to induce concentric muscle failure.
push ups are literally better than this
let him cook
You could be doing dips and chinups in the park man. It'd be way more efficient
thats less weight than the empty barbell dawg what are you even doing
1. this is me

Boy, look at the unearned ego on you

if true, go to the gym auschwitz starved clown

You completely changed my mind, Im going to quit my membership and start curling milk cans too. Thanks for showing me the light padre
Good idea. I use 2 strong shopping bags that can hold 40lbs each

>i love these ghetto diy fitness contraptions
you'll love this
I did this in high school when I was 5'7" and 90lbs
It helped
I used milk jugs and taped them together until they broke
just do push ups what the frick
I need weight to do weighted squats
do shrimp squats
I made a ghetto barbell as well to the practice technique at home, cause I didn't wanna embarrass myself in the gym lol
old chinese ladies in rural china
Is this what you made for your 78 year old Grandma??? That's cute anon give her a hug.
I bench press with two college cheerleaders on my bar ( they live in my basement)
Throw another 2 bottles on each side and go to failure. If nothing else you could make sick stabilizer gains using that thing
update:
I'm going to need to add another two water jugs.
At this point just setup a gofundme lad
Why would I waste my own money, let alone SOMEONE ELSE'S money, on something that I can simply make myself?
jesus christ... i remember starting my bench press with at least a 100kg

fill with sand first, then add water
If you dont have several hundred million dollars you can put into weights food and steroids you might aswell not bother until you can
