Thanks John .... that's my hope: to be able to fit in the extra sessions when life gets in the way of a normal routine. It's very true that my life has been up-ended with the domestic changes and trying to get my girls through this difficult time has meant that I've had to abandon what has been a very regular pattern of training
Putting up the rack, setting up the bench and laying the rubber took maybe 6 hours but the worst part was cleaning out the room of 12 years worth of rubbish and then cleaning up thousands of rodent poos ..... that took two whole days
Still I had my music and beers to keep me company so I was happy
Eretis!
I was very impressed with my handiwork.
Thanks SK .... still haven't used it properly in anger though but it was nice t treat myself to a Christmas gift
It will be interesting to see how I go .... my heaviest lifts have been when I've been with JP, so that I've had someone to encourage me and spot me on the squat if need be. Going heavy on my own will take a mind shift and I'm always impressed with you guys who've always trained at home
Thanks Cooper .. I'm hoping that the home set-up will benefit my squats most of all. At the moment it's just a decoration though so I'm going to have to man up soon and use it
Thanks Louise! I'm very glad to see the back of 2014 and we're in a good place to move forward. My youngest got her yr 12 results back and got a 97.5 ATAR so she'll be off to Melbourne ... I'm so proud of her for getting such a good grade despite everything at home but I'll be very sad to see her move. I know you've had to watch both of your kids move away
Yeah Tim .... just had all my time eaten up by getting the gym room ready and then getting ready for the travels with my girls. Still got my training in though
I vividly remember the fires of 1983 when I could see the flames in the hills from the hospital I was studying at ... over 60 people died that day. The fires this year have burnt out about 200 sq. miles but at least no one was killed
I'm planning on using the gym set up tomorrow
Thanks for all the kind word s guys ... a month iff from posting has to have been the longest break I've taken since I started this log in 2010 . I just got slam dunked with getting the gym set-up, making travel arrangements and then spending 3 weeks travelling in North America. Did I tell you before that I love Canada and the US
So after such a long break, and given that my log has been going 5 years and is getting close to the maximum number of posts, I figured it was time to start a new log .... the last half of 2014 was the worst period of my life and it was hard not to let things get me down. The start of 2015 represents a new life for me and new goals.
It's going to take me a while to get back into the swing of things but I really appreciate all the support that I've had in my log so I hope you guys will do me the honour of following along this new log

That is the makings of a beautiful home gym Andrew, if you havnt already, make sure you head over to the equipment section and treat the folks there to the pics. That rack is beastly, is it a local brand? Looks like you have some space to work with, what else are you planning to get?

Thanks Brad ... it's my gift to myself after a tough year My big hope is that I'll get enough progress out of my deads to have to buy some more plates
Thanks Andy .. I'll post that in the equipment section. It's a great rack .... 'ForceUSA' commercial grade, all made in China and assembled by me Very sturdy construction though and not that difficult t put together. That room is about 10' x 12' so plenty big enough and I've got another room exactly the same .... I'd love to set that up with kettle bells. I should get a few boxes and some chains and more bands but I'm pretty happy with the set-up
And this is my new log Andy: 2015 is the beginning of the rest of my life
