Don't look up when you're deadlifting Tube, it strains your lower back, keep your head in a neutral position. Like holding a grapefruit to your chest with your chin. Although, this applies to straight-legged and competition deadlifting as well, so you may already know. Wear long socks, the bar may scrape the shit out of your shins.
Hmm, google says that RDLs are like backwards deadlifts, I think what I said still applies though. I might look into them, I'm looking for a good hammy exercise.
Oh yeah, that was the other thing today. The gym overlooks a pool, where all kinds of people swim. I was looking out on it while resting from the incline bench and there were a bunch of fat people, some little kids, and one dude swimming totally billy bollock.
Around kids. Happy as Larry. Doin' his breast stroke. Balls out.

This is why I don't want to join a gym.
Especially since the one about 120m away from me looks like one of those gyms.
Man, there's too many people at my gym that squat, they need to clear the hell out of the racks when I want to use them. And I think they're all using Tube's plan or something, because they're all in there deadlifting on my deadlift day too.
I had a good session today, pretty good numbers on all my lifts, then 50 minutes on the elliptical afterwards. Watched the Braves relief pitcher walk 2 guys with the bases loaded.

What are some good exercises to do around the house/with no equipment?
At the moment I do lots of bodyweight squats, pushups, planks and situps but they're getting kinda boring so I was after a bit more, specifically arms/chest kind of stuff. Keeping in mind I have no weights and am far too poor to buy any or join a gym, anyone have some suggestions?

the best is to find a 'fitness club' that is focused on aerobics but has sufficient free weight equipment
90% of the people with memberships there are there to go to spin classes or sweat on the treadmill while they watch dr phil
And the racks and weights are mostly free to use and you don't get the guy using his back to curl 100 lbs or assholes monopolizing equipment all day so they can do exercises wrong
I'm doing romanian deadlifts tomorrow, I checked out some form videos and guides and have rippetoe's guide, but any other tips would be appreciated.
Also, I woke up today with a screaming assfuck headache, went to the gym anyway and that cleared it for three hours, and also cut my lower back DOMS down to a manageable level. Exercise is great.
When you drop down, keep looking straight ahead and try to keep your knees directly over your feet. Your hip and butt parts should go pretty much straight back. Speaking of "straight back," do not round your back as that will put strain on your lower spine.
EDIT: Of course, you know, flex this shit out of that sexy ass of yours, and tighten your whole core. But this is how one should do all exercises because kettlebells are awesome amen the end forever and ever no callbacks.
So defender did you post a kettlebell routine or what, im interested

Chalk is actually inert to the body I know for a fact that other than being unpleasant to breath it doesn't actually damage your lungs.
I spose if you ate enough dry stuff it'd absorb all the liquid in your stomach and that wouldn't be flash. And the liquid chalk is an alcohol based substance.

No, I didn't post a whole kettlebell routine. Was there a request for me to do so? I usually suggest that you go to a kettlebell trainer to make sure you're doing it right, you know, have him walk you through it at least the first five times or whatever.
yeah, i'm tired of you hollowly pimping the kettlebells, without actually saying much about them
make me believe
Ed Parker, the founder of American Kenpo, said "To see is to be deceived. To hear is to doubt. But to feel is to believe." I'd suggest that you actually go and work with them. I was surprised at how much stronger they made me, but going out and doing it is the only way to know. Or you could read stuff by Pavel Tsatsouline, if you want to read a real expert's writing.
So I totally pigged out on all the Easter candy my aunt bought for us.
The funny thing is, she's Jewish.
Oh Jews love easter and the resurrection - they lucked out that Jesus quicksaved.
On the kettlebell debate, when you use them, how often do you increase the weight? Because one of the cool things about lifting regular ol' weights is the sense of achievement you get every time you slap another plate on your lifts, y'know? Definitely keeps me motivated - and it's definitely something to concentrate on for newbies instead of expecting monster guns after a couple of weeks. They can see they're getting demonstrably stronger.

Not terrifically often. I mean, it's pretty much like dumbbell exercise in that regard. You start having better form and getting more out of the lift, and you do go up in weight, but it's not like bench pressing or something where you can increase by tiny increments fairly frequently. The kettlebells I'm using are in 4-kg increments for the most part. We have everything from 8 to 32 kg in increments of 4. I think that we go straight from there to 38, I don't recall seeing a 36. However, aside from stuff like Romanian Dead Lift, I don't have a whole lot of need for individual kettlebells that are larger than 38 kg. Remember that you can do most exercises with one or two hands, and doing pretty much anything while holding two 24 kg weights in front of yourself is not easy. Yeah, it's only about 110 pounds (roughly), but it's a fuckload heavier than it sounds when your stabilizers are firing constantly and you're using your whole body and you're not rushing through your reps as fast as you possibly can.
You can, however, refer to the kettlebells as "naught but peanuts" and state that they are "light in weight" if you like.
Anyone who wants big manly shoulders should just go enlist with their local volunteer fire department (or paid if your current way of paying the bills involves the olive garden). Ninety minutes of pulling ceilings and walls will get the best of anyone.
Edit: also if you are a crackhead, please refrain from burning down your drug dens, and also please remember to bring your drugs with you next time you flee.

Or you could just do some Barbell Rows.
Still, I reckon being a fireman would be pretty neat.

I hate my life.

Look at that.
That doesn't look like a gym it looks like a pilates class with barbells.
I have a feeling that if I go there I will need to go to the juice bar beforehand to fit in with the in crowd there.

I can only imagine they cost just as much as dumbbells.
so
