I like the variation in your last session. Lifting with the PVC bar has me thinking about doing that myself for a boost on the bench.

Weather moved Tuesdayā€™s accessories to last night. Wifeā€™s XMas party is Friday, so benched tonite. Kept it pretty short and sweet. Shoulders felt great

Weight didnā€™t feel heavy. Trying to get form 100% dialed in.
Depth gradually got better. Havenā€™t been doing as much as I can or should for mobility.

58

Mobility is my downfall. Itā€™s the one thing Iā€™m always going to get around to doing, but donā€™t. Getting to the age where I need it.

Found out today that our expansion was approved by our mall landlord

We asked for another 2k square feer, which would have doubled our rent. They are building out another 8k square feet. Our rent will only double. We go from @ 2k ft to @ 10k ft. Weā€™ ll call that a win. Should happen in 2016.

We will now be able to host meets in- house.
