Yep, I say figure out what you can do with tree limbs, rocks and whatever you find out there. Really, primitive old school.

A basic gym is 13 miles from where I stay. I went there last summer, so I’ll probably go back again. Hope they have some new equipment.
Although I may just get lazy and stare at the lake.

After staring at the lake for 2 weeks with 10% humidity I came back to breathtaking Louisiana. (Bulldog laments about his 75% humidity. I wish….)
I did one day in a public gym and got promptly lazy. Didn’t even to go gym this am either. Maybe tomorrow….

Hold down the SHIFT key when you press the ENTER key. That will give you a new line without an intervening line. On PC anyway. Don’t know how to do it on a cell phone.
I had the same issue. Somehow it just stopped.

Still going strong for a “mature” lifter.
I think “mature” has left the building with the way I’ve approached workouts lately. You remain the strong one around here.

Certainly a deserved shoutout to Crippler losing 24 lbs. I’ve lost 5 and I’ll settle for “scarey” while chasing 5 more. It’s those few lingering pounds below the belt.

Thanks. I just knew this morning would mean a new level. But no. 30 is my goal, and we’ll see where things go from there.
Keep your arm size intact.
