Good looking last few sessions Ron! I didn't realize you sold all of your gym stuff. That has to be pretty wild. I moved all of my home gym stuff but my move was much closer. Still, that last session in my old garage was surreal as I had undoubtedly found my athletic potential in there. I'll never forget sitting down on my bench one last time and taking off my shoes. I looked around and was nearly overcome with emotion. I stood up, walked inside and turned off the light one last time, as I had done a thousand times before. There is something to be said for what we do in these garages. It is very special to me, that's for sure. Below is an excerpt from my journal entry on 7/10/19, the date of my last session in my old garage.
"...Through it all, I did manage to find my athletic potential, at least by my definition. My definition of athletic potential is, “the greatest feats of BOTH strength and conditioning that you are able to achieve simultaneously.” This is inherently difficult as, generally, strength training and conditioning training work against and limit one other.
Through this journey, I have suffered a few injuries. Most of which I have been able to recover from. Some still linger. Because of those lingering injuries, I am confident that I have already climbed to the top of “the mountain” and am now on the other side. Recently, I have discussed this with a few people. The important thing to me was not how much weight I lifted or how fast I ran. It is not relative to or dependent upon anyone else. Not once was there another soul standing out here cheering me on to that next PR. I was alone for each and every one of those runs. The significance of it is that I found MY athletic potential, and it was more than I ever could have dreamed it would be. In doing so, I developed some of the most powerful character traits that a person can have. Discipline, grit, physical and emotional strength, and a love of overcoming adversity. Those have been extremely beneficial in other areas of life and my plan from here is to keep training and let the Lord use those character traits for His purposes.
From here, we will move to our new home. The gym will be setup again and I will keep training as long as I am able. While the weights will never reach those upper limits again, and the runs will continue to slow, I will always remember this garage. This is where it all began."
Sorry for posting all of that. You got me thinking about it and I was feeling nostalgic. To me it is more than training. It is a journey at getting better at life and we have a way of getting attached to these spaces. Anyway, I'm sure you're excited to get to ID and hopefully you'll get to train with you SIL while you work on setting up your new gym. Enjoy that last session my friend.

None of these programs are written for guys my age so I have learned to make adjustments to accommodate how I react to the layout. I'm good with 5x5 for a while but there becomes a point where the intensity and 5's don't work for me. I can't recover and I get painful inflammation that makes even walking a chore...My last workout will be fun and I've enjoyed my time here. I plan on putting together a better layout and getting some different pieces. I'm going to get a GHR to go with my reverse hyper. I did keep that. I sold them everything else. Plus some personal things like my V-bar I've had since I was 16 and my belt, straps...etc small stuff
It'll be tough to leave the area. I'm a native born in SF and lived in the Bay Area all my life except 6 weeks when I moved to Los Angeles, because yes I'm that dumb....LOL...
I have lots of great memories in that gym. Not one bad day ever...
I appreciate the thoughts and the post. Moving my gym by movers 900 miles would have cost a fortune and the move was already expensive. I thought I could put together a better gym maybe for less plus I can [piece it together and make a nice layout.

This was my last workout here in my home gym 4/29/2020. We will be moving Friday and will arrive in Coeur d'Alene Idaho on Sunday May 3rd 2020. This coming week is a deload week for me and I need to see when I can get into my SIL's gym to continue on with my workouts until my home is built and I get my own setup again.
Good day under the bar 190 went up fast as did all my squat sets. BP slows down fats above 150 for me...the early sets are real light anything approaching 160 and above becomes a challenge... I got my 3 with 160 and probably could have eked out 3 more if I had to...Rows matching BP as always.
Life is a bit up in the air right now so I'll be checking in sometime next week when things settle down a little. Be safe and wash your hands!!!

Good looking workout yesterday Ron. Way to end things up in your home gym with a strong one like that.
Good luck with your move!If in doubt, squat and run hills. So you walk into the gym and don't know what to do? Then squat and run hills. Have a miserable day at work and want to break someone's neck but aren't sure who's? Then squat and run hills. - Wendler

Thanks Greg!! we're at the 1/2 way point and hunkered down in Bend Oregon for a day and the motel has wifi so I'd thought i'd check in.

Great! It sounds like you're making great progress. Bend is a nice town. I've been there several times and really enjoyed it. You're about to jump off into the desert for a little while on your trip, from there to Idaho, if you use the same route I did. Arriving in Coeur d'Alene after that drive was super refreshing.

We took 97 all the way to the Columbia river then I don’t remember the highway number but we ended up on 90 through Spokane to Coeur d’Alene
On 97 there were turf farms thousands of acres of lawn they must supply all the golf courses and sports arenas in the country
We’re hunkered down in our future rental until the new build is completed it may be a while until I post a workout"You got soul and everybody knows that its alright".....Curtis Mayfield........"Eat to be strong weights and reps"....Me....."leave the gun take the cannoli".....Fat Clemenza

That sounds like you had a nice drive Ron. I took 26 east out of Bend, and then 395 to Pasco. Along in there I went along the Snake River and it was pretty dry in there, with an interesting landscape though.
Good luck up there in ID Ron! I look forward to hearing how it goes once you get set up in your new house, gym, etc.If in doubt, squat and run hills.

I looked at 26 but is seemed to be an extra hour going that route so we just went with the GPS suggestion.
We got our furniture yesterday and got our internet and TV setup this morning so now things should start to normalize a little
The question is will I need bear spray....;-p
It is very quiet here compared to where we were. No noise at all.

We're in Coeur d'Alene and I'm working out at my Son-in-laws home gym so I won't be doing vids for a while but will try to keep up on logging. It is my deload week and with the move and lack of food it was a great time to back-off a little. I'm going to start doing push-ups everyday with the hopes it will crossover to my BP. Just one set max reps each day and I will try to add reps daily as I can. One more deload workout this week then back to Madcow week 4.Last edited by RT1957; 05-08-2020 at 10:42 AM.

Just splash some on in the morning before you head out, and you'll fit right in!
It is very quiet here compared to where we were. No noise at all. We use to live just a mile from the San Jose airport so it was constant noise there.
Eventually it will get louder -- you'll start to notice those tiny little sounds that nature makes and get tuned to them.

The move has taken a toll..I'm down 10LBS and feeling a bit weaker on all my exercises so I'm going to do a ramp up week and reset my numbers on Madcow
Yes he has more of a crossfit gym with a wall mount rig so no safeties but he does have spotter arms I'll setup when I get to weights I'm feeling will be a challenge...love your gym set up Shane!! you've picked up some nice equipment during this time when so little is available"You got soul and everybody knows that its alright".....Curtis Mayfield........"Eat to be strong weights and reps"....Me....."leave the gun take the cannoli".....Fat Clemenza

Last day for this week and I'm going to move to a ramp up week as I am down 10+LBS from the move and lack of regular eating. Still a productive day under the bar and I added 2 reps my push-ups. Did some DB rows instead of the BB Rows for something different and struggled to get my 5 reps with 170 on squats. That is what prompted me to consider a ramp up week instead of going full tilt boogie on Madcow.

And just like that you are back in the saddle! That's impressive Ron! Good looking workouts this week. I'm glad you're able to workout at your SIL's home gym. That's a great deal. I was watching "Idaho the Movie" last night and thought about you. It is absolutely breathtaking there. When I traveled there for work, I drove up to Boise from Salt Lake City so I was in the Southern part of the state and it was gorgeous. I'd love to check out the Northern part of the state some day... Glad you guys are getting settled in.

Trent
I'm trying Trent...We're here and I need to take the time to get in the gym. I am lucky my SIL has been open to me using his setup. I can't Incline BP there but will when I put my gym together. He doesn't have a adjustable bench but that will be one of my first purchases. Coeur d'Alene is very pretty. Lots of mountains pine trees and lakes here.

I found a good groove by the time I hit the 40's so I just did a couple sets with them. Box squats I did the first 4 sets instead of the 2 with the 3rd weight. It is a reset and these weights aren't really challenging. 3 sets of RDL's and some pull-ups to finish

Love some DB Bench Ron. That's probably the only thing I miss about hitting the gym here and there is the dumbbells. IMO that is a better workout than barbell bench. Glad you are getting to work those in. Nice work!

We're kinda in a holding mode staying in the home we're going to rent and waiting for the new home to be built. We're not unpacking any of the boxes and trying live as minimally as possible for now. Next week we will start to sit the grandsons as my SIL got a job here and we'll be busy with school work for them. So actually I so time now to settle in on some training but I will stay with Madowish for a while. Then go back to an upper/lowwr spit when my gym gets put together...
I though DB bench would be a good change since I can't do inclines for now. I'll try the 50's next week...I did get a little DOMS from those high rep sets I did...
Yes DB's and a lat machine were the 2 things I missed having a home gym. I did have an adjustable set but never really used them for DB bench...just shoulder and arm work mostly. Idaho is very wet this time of year but it is very beautiful here...I'm making the adjustment"You got soul and everybody knows that its alright".....Curtis Mayfield........"Eat to be strong weights and reps"....Me....."leave the gun take the cannoli".....Fat Clemenza
