I used to love hitting the hammer strength machines for a little fun work in the gym when I was finished lifting but now all I have is my lowly garage gym free weights.

GV I would much prefer a garage gym but don’t have the space or money to outfit it…

A belated congratulations on the trap bar PR.
Incline BP tend to irritate my shoulder in a big way. Had to stop doing them, but wish I could.
You are a machine goat. Do you ever take a day off lifting?

OP-Thanks brother and thanks for checking in… I don’t take as many days off as I should… The reality is I’m stubborn and don’t want to admit that as I approach 54 my recovery ability taint what it used to be…
