Damn that's a clean one you got and it looks like you can add accessories to it.

I'ma have to keep that one in mind for the future.

It's a very solid rack and would suffice for most people. I bought it during covid so I paid a little more but I was able to slowly add accessories since then to the point I own almost all of them. The monolift attachment, cable crossover, and curl package are basically the only ones I don't own.

i woke up and hooped across 4 hours today (6-10am). Apple Watch said I ran 9 miles and burned 3425 calories

I ain't played for that long that since I was in high school

While I don't believe the numbers, my body SCREAMING. Byke, calves and achilles are tight. Already had a couple Charley Horse attacks. I should be ready to lift again on Monday

You workout everyday

I stopped using preworkout powder. I find that it's unnecessary.
I just eat like 90 minutes or 1 hour before a workout. Make sure I get enough carbs for energy, and that's plenty.

In a pinch, a cup of coffee is just fine. I don't think people need preworkout powder but it's become a habit for a lot of guys.

Stop telling on yourself breh

I don't think stuff like preworkout matters at all.
In my mind, it has almost no impact on a person's gains.

People think "If I take preworkout, I have more energy, my workouts will be more productive". And in reality, I think technique, and merely the will to push a set to failure, or close to failure is far more important.

If people are training with the proper intensity and focus and form, they're out of the gym in 45 minutes, give or take.
Nobody needs preworkout to get through a 45 minute training session if they're eating well.

45 minutes? How many lifts are you doing in that time? Please post the workout you are doing in 45 minutes.
