Back has been pretty stiff. That’s what I get for skipping the weights for a week.

Cool workout. New moves, bigger weights, lower reps, more rest. Totally different feel than last month. Reps were supposed to be in the 2-4 range, I’ll try to get there.
Couldn’t entirely shut the #2 unassisted. Two on reps #1 and #1.5 felt hard as shit today, so I believe my hands are a little fatigued. Thankfully today’s training was like half the volume of what I was doing last month. I’m optimistic i’ll be squeezing much harder next week.
Sadly I totally get this statement.
Roofers are here now, a whole day early!
It’s like Christmas arrived a day ahead.
New roof is on! Good for 50 years. I’ll be old as shit by then.
A contractor acquaintance recommended this roofing company. When the roofer guy first came out to give an estimate he included a mark-up for the contractor acquaintance. As if he were throwing a piece to a middle-man sub-contractor.
The roofer called the contractor acquaintance, who explained he didn’t expect a cut. So the roofer called back and lowered his price.
This was like a week and a half ago.
The roofer must have felt bad about the mix up. Today when the job was done he took another $1,200 off. This job came in 1/3 under the estimate, took 1 day instead of the 3 they first told me to plan on, and the work is done the day before they told me they were gonna start.
Legit!
It seems like the responsible thing to do is spend the savings immediately to build the home gym ASAP.
Haha yes agreed!
Damn that is a great result, good cost and service is hard to fond these days, add in getting it done on time and you are talking rocking horse sh$t rare.
Getting more things for the home gym is much less rare. LOL
Will a 24 inch deep power rack be roomy enough?
It might not be if you intend to use bands.
If you can get spottter arms and can work outside the front of the rack as well it’s nice to have that option too.

Solid workout. Shut the #2 both times.
Went to the yearly Ragu Festevool Wednesday night. The woman and I had a great time. I was pretty crushed Thursday and had to rest until today.
Flats not sure if you already bought a home gym yet or not but this came up on my feed today and I thought you should know.
It looks like that thing really grows the pecs! Maybe I should get one for the woman. Oh!
I proposed the Sorinex rack last week. Proposition was denied.
