Even more so that it’s not a garage gym. The garage is the temporary setting while I finish the indoor gym. So basically I’ve made a whole separate room in my house, a gym. It used to have this real long room that was a formal dining room/ “family” room for sitting and sipping tea or some crap. I erected (LOL) a wall when we moved in, that split that section in half, so I could have an indoor gym. Well, finally…a year and a half later (procrastinate much?) I’ve ripped out the carpet, finished the drywall on the new addition, painted, and am going to put down VCT tile (like the stuff in a grocery store) and cover most of it with a platform. Then I’ll be moving the rack inside and onto the platform, putting the treadmill back in there (Or maybe the garage since it barely gets used), and continuing the epic saga of Ink’s awesomeness indoors.
I’ve got a sketch drawn up using pen and crayons (what was readily available at my kitchen table) that is almost exactly to scale.
I really want to finish this in time for my “meet” this weekend, so I can break it in properly with a PR parade.
Now I just need a good name for it.

So you mean to say it is climate controlled?
pic of tiled home gym requested!
Hell’s Ink Stain
motto: we leave a mark
lol
Clax, LOL
AC, More or less. The vent in there is the farthest from the unit (lol) so it doesn’t blow (more lols) as hard. I’ll probably put an in-window ac unit in there this summer.
Main, Oh, there’ll be pics. And LOL at Hell’s Ink Stain!
So, getting the room all set up to tile took longer than expected, and if I had started it last night I probabl would have glued my face to the floor from passing out in there. I’ll go for it tonight, sicne it’s all set and I’ve layed out some tiles to get the right pattern/lines set. It’s going to look AWESOME.
So instead, I knocked out my final prescribed workout last night, easy breeeeezy
Squats
155x3
190x3x2
225x2x3
Bench
135xSome
165x3x2 No racking between sets
195x2x2 No racking between sets
All paused.
Every year, the Commandant of the Marine Corps puts out a birthday message, as we approach the birthday of the United States Marine Corps (November 10th, 1775)
This one brought me to tears. It talks about the attack on Sept. 11, and how we responded as a Nation, much like we did in 1941 with the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Ink thanks for sharing that video. I like these types of videos, it’s always nice to hear stories like this about the men and women serving.
Keep up the good work hombre. Can’t wait to see you kill the mock meet you’ve been planning.
If you pull 500 this weekend I will kill a kitten…
No problem Herc. I get super motivated around the USMC birthday every year, and thought I should share that video. Can’t wait to SFW’s soon!
Elmore, dude, if I pull 500 this weekend (even for like, a 4th attempt for lulz and to see if I break it off the floor)…I’LL kill a kitten with the sonic boom of my war cry I’ll let out afterwards, hahaha
If you pull 500 this weekend, I’ll make you make you some hot Kool Aid!
Seriously Ink, if you don’t pull 500 this weekend, not only will I throw a satchel of kittens in the Hudson, I just might drown a sleeping hobo too. Okay? Don’t make me do mean things.
What the hell is going on here? I pulled 450 what, a couple weeks ago? And now, if I don’t pull a 50# PR in 2 days, kittens will be killed by the satchel full, I WON’T get kool aid, AND hobo’s are going to drown in their sleep?
Talk about pressure!
I mean, I’m all for some motivation, but damn…
I don’t think I’ll return if I come up short. I don’t think I could live with the shame…
3…o’clock in the morning…is when I laid the last tile.
hoping to get the platform materials later today.
Weight dungeon really taking shape, I am totes jelly.
Looks great man what all equipment you putting in there?
I figured you would appreciate this.
Pull 500 yet?
Looks dope!
Thanks guys.
Elmore, just my cage, bench, bars, and probably the treadmill if I don’t just throw it know the garage. It’s not a big room, so I don’t have space for much more than the basics
Df, LOL, and not yet. Lifting later this morning, when my little one takes a nap.
Mim, thanks!
I wanted to lift in my newly finished room today, but its just not done and I don’t wanna rush perfection. I’ll lift my meet in the garage, and try to finish the dungeon later today.
215 this morning, so definitely a “220” lifter today, lol
