Congrats on your new toys 
Getting equipment for home training has become ridiculously hard (and expensive) on this side of the pond since covid hit us. I take it, that it is also a problem in the US?
Yep. The price had doubled. What was going for $1/ lb is $2 now. I’m thinking next year there will be some great bargains!
You are probably right. Not that it helps much right now. Oh well.
Luckily, I have been at this for a while(way before the pandemic) and have more than I can use. Collected piece by piece over several years. Anything else at this point is just icing on the cake.

No peace this morning, phone just kept blowing up. Guess we need another “do not disturb” lesson for a bit.
Broke the “new” DB down, dug out my solid metal, nicely knurled, shorty DB handles. Mucho bueno.
Didn’t take into account the weight of the bars and collars so they ended up a little too heavy for OH pressing, but I’m getting there!
And apparently the bottom of toy box is where old resistance bands go to die… lol. Somebody should straighten that up.
I am feeling so pretty today I may just go buy some paint!

That’s pretty rusted up. Any plans cleaning?
The rust just makes you tough ! 
But yeah, I actually got a can of paint today. They didn’t have any steel brushes so I’ll have to go to another store for that. Since it’s going to be a 1,000 degrees all week I may get one painted.

Thanks guys! @TriednTrue @dagill2 @punnyguy It’s been a long time in the making. Now I need to come up with something to get 5lbs by the first of the year.
Might do the Kroc bench program since I am going with his squat and deadlift program. May just need to make it a clean sweep.
Be prepared for new log title!

Are you doing the squat program too?
Yep! As far as I can or until it tries to kill me. Which ever comes first. It doesn’t call for a deload so, at some point I may need to but I will burn the bridge when I get there.
That’s some serious work. I’ll definitely wish you luck.
We’ll see how it turns out. I have never done 10 sets of squats in my life. This may not last until the water gets hot

10 sets, sure. 10 reps, not so much. LOL. Do you know what a “Fire Chicken” is? It’s the term the guys working at the assembly plant at GM used to refer to the hood decal on the Firebirds and Trans Ams. When you’re done, you’ll be Fire Chicken instead of Chicken Little.

Luckily the most it calls for is 10 sets of 5 reps. Fire Chicken does have a nice ring to it though! Kinda like a dysfunction Phoenix.
