Re: Does it really matter where you train
I havent worked out in a gym for a very long time..and while an olympic bar and powerblocks dont offer the stateliness of a fully equipped facility, I have the necessary creativeness. Ill give an example. For calves, ill step on a lower part of my upright section of the bench and on one foot do calf raises with my heaviest setting db. Sometimes strapped. Sometimes not, if i want to work on forearm strength. Holding my balance with the other hand on the upright. Works a charm bc i know how to activate the fibers. For seated raises, wait till you hear this shit. Sit on a reinforced chair low down enough to the ground, a few plates under my feet(alternate one and both to rep out and warm up), place a telephone book on my lap and then hike the barbell off the lowest setting on the bench (better be strong) Once i have it on my lap, slip the phone book out to my knee, move the barbell on top, and start the movement. It sounds tough and awkward, but i have the whole movement down to a matter of seconds.
