Edit: I posted pictures of this before in this thread. I put more rubber on the floor and reclaimed the wet bar, got all excited and posted again. I'll leave the other pictures for context.

I...

Thanks! The thing is a beast and looks really cool in my rack that no one else uses but that gives it points in my book. It has a little learning curve to it. You need to put the J-Hooks lower, make...

It is an early Duffalo bar and I cannot disagree with Chris Duffin's assessment that it is strangely comfortable on the bench press.

It is fatter and heavier (56lbs) than a regular bar. The wrist...

Still a work in progress. Dead lift platform is still in the garage. I will replace the TV with something flatter and put rubber on the rest of the floor. For now it is functional though. The mess on...

Haven't checked in in a week. I survived my birthday with my die mostly in check. Have been spending a lot of time on my bicycle and ignoring lifting. Not the best of ideas but enjoying the weather...

Tis my birthday eve and I am the lowest weight I have been in ages while being the strongest I have ever been. I shall enter two days of debauchery but I dead lift on my birthday.

Felt really...

Active recovery. Did yard work and slow rode my BMX bike with my 5 year old son on his "racing bike but with training wheels" around our neighborhood. He was bound and determined to pedal up the...

Thanks!

Cumulative fatigue from first week back on the morning training schedule hit me this morning. Only did about half of what was on the schedule but got the meat done.

Squats

Even better - I just stack up plates and put my bench on them. Viola!

I'm just fat, I'm not strong and I don't think you'd fit my macros.

Mea culpa. In addition to lifting heavy things and continuously buy other heavy things I am a software engineer and therefore interpret things literally and try to be helpful.

The garage is 26'...

This is the best picture I have handy to give context. There is usually a Ford Flex parked such that the front end hangs a few inches over the lower feet of the half rack. If the spotter arms are in...

Am I too late to the party? It got all trolly and then back.

I have an Elite FTS American Press bar. It is the one bar I didn't really research and went totally off my trainer sending me an email...

You guys are both close. I put them up there or else my wife will crash into them. I was so excited to get them (16 hours after I ordered them) that I just threw them on to see if they fit.

Happy birthday to me. The mono lift attachment is the first addition to my little garage gym of 2016.

Getting back into the morning grove. Changes in life allow me to start at 5am rather than 4am which has been a big difference. Actually had the door open this morning.

Shoulder press

30 minutes on the treadmill. NBD.

Part of my birthday present from Rogue will be here tomorrow, it's heavy.

Still getting back into that morning grove. Managed to get up at 5 and only consider skipping once before the beast inside took over. Pretty low intensity stuff to get my body used to getting up and...

Because it is Monday we bench. For those that don't know I work out in my garage.

Warm up:
some stuff then
Pushups and band stuff alternating

Bench Press and Ring Rows (odd set numbers...

I am back with my third journal. It was a long winter and my training dwindled to two days a week but I did manage to lose 20lbs.

I have a new program and 100 days till I head on a beach...

Please to not misunderstand my point. I do not advocate tapering at all. I advocate detoxification under medical supervision. If you are found to be coding due to acute withdrawal the medical staff...
