That’s cool. I have a rice bucket but it is kept outside (with a sealed lid) so only gets use in summer really.

Deadlifts today - Did 90kg which is new PB.
Today, I did 100kg, felt pretty easy, but failed at 105. Never mind, a milestone reached.
I did 173-243kg sets of 12 on the leg press a couple of weeks ago, sure that had something to do with it

Currently assisting my son in building a Mirafit power rack in the garage - it includes the M100 power rack itself, plus the cable system, adjustable weight bench, landmine, Olympic barbell and 100kg of bumper plates. Seems like decent value. He already has free weights up to 30kg.
I’m well into my 50’s, and have always been more into aerobic fitness than strength or conditioning training, but feeling that I would benefit from using the equipment…if he lets me loose on it!
Would appreciate some guidance on where to start…
That’s a stock photo, not my garage!

@Giles. Loving the progress. 100kg down. Did you do a single with 100kg?
-
I have just "built" a "gym" at home. But it is a little less professional that your sons @Nocturama .....

-
Looks cool. You got everything you need. Did you felt that you could of done another rep with 100kg?

Leg days are the worst, particularly when you can't reach the remote from the sofa to turn the TV on.

Yeah actually, now you've made me think about it, I think I could have.....

@Giles FatGripz makes some thick ones

If you can do a double with 100 and you missed 105 it was all in your head but no rush. Enjoy the process. I deadlift very rearly now days. Probably about once per month. I do squat though twice per week.
