Sah WEET! Good to hear!

The rack is Rogue. I actually got it as a gift!

The GHR bench is from Bells of Steel. I thought it was a “STEEL” because it’s a GHR/Hyper combo. When I bought it, it was $699. Buying both was not possible ($$$) and I needed to conserve space. I think it’s actually well made except for 2 CONS: First, the padding sucks – I use a yoga mat to help cushion. Lastly, it’s cool that it included a belt squat + chain, but it fits too large, and always have trouble trying to get in it to swing my legs back.

Alright cool, thanks!

Honestly, I think they’re kickass. I love that I can work on my grip at the same time. The ones my pulley system came with are complete crap and was in need of something. I saw your insta vid and I was like, “yeah that’ll work.” So happy I got them!

20s 22.5 22.5

Notes/Questions:

So, how does one do a tate press with loadable dumbbells? I think I messed up my elbow angles as well. DBs are not in the budget right now.

Additional questions:
What works best — submitting a new forum for each new week with all of the Day workouts? I think this would be best so there’s not a lot of scrolling because it seems the older posts are posted on top. Let me know what ya think.

Lastly, I get those TPS Method emails you send out that include extra training, is that strictly for TPS Method Life or can I squeeze that into the week too? Thank you!

Week 1 Day 2: Bench

Warmup:

Bar 65 95

Bench @ RPE 7 6×3
3 3 3 3 3 3
115 115 115 115 115 115

Notes:
-I missed the 5th one on the first set because my bar smacked right into the j-hooks. Which brings me to a question: what height should I be setting the safety straps so that I don’t kill myself when I go heavier?

DB Bench Press 3×8
8 8 8
30 30 40

Lat Pulldown
8 8 8 8
70 70 70 70

Tricep Pushdown
Used the Spud Warthog to interchange my grips. I’m using a plate-loaded pulley system.
40 40 30 30

I know some of the angles are shit, bare with me it’ll get better.
