I did do something!

Made a mess in my gym last evening trying to rig up something to do the Goblet squat challenge. Which I failed but not going to beat myself up. May pick up some Gorilla tape and take another crack at it. This was “rigged up” set up number three. The 25lb plates were just too awkward. Couldn’t break my T handle apart. Think I may need the grinder and some new pipe fittings to fix it🙄 OH! And some pipe dope, so maybe next time…
Anyway. I probably got 25 reps in total but not a straight set.
I was struggling by this point in the game.

Thanks! But, it was an epic fail. Better luck next time! Packing that new A/C unit before I got this far, is what I a blaming it on.:roll_eyes:

I use a 6-litre water bottle. No iron on hand :grinning:

I didn’t collect all this iron not to touch it.

The challenge was to goblet squat half your bodyweight 25x so 6 litres of water wouldn’t have been heavy enough.
1 litre= 1 kilogram
6kg x 2.2= 13.2lbs
Did I calculate that right?

I sure hope you have access to a heavy enough KB or DB. Rigging things up was more work than the actual challenge. :rofl:
I have no doubt you can handle this. Please throw up a video in the thread to show those whipper snappers how it’s done!

I have failed. My mission to get the weeds cut before it got out of hand did not happen. I have a healthy stand of passion flower vines close to the house. I don’t want to kill them but, they are thick and scary. Twice as scary now that one of my favorite :snake: was riled up underneath them yesterday. It was sizzling like water on a hot griddle! Absolutely could NOT find him through the vines. :fearful:
Now… I know he is out there in yard somewhere and I have a major case of the “snake willys”. :roll_eyes: Damn it! There are acres and acres of other places it could live… but Noooo. It Has to come to my yard!
Get cats. That’s everybody’s answer. Well… let me tell you. That shit don’t work. I think one of the feral cats had some kittens out there and now the snake had nice meal. :sob:

Anyway, time to pull up my granny panties and go weedeat some.more… jumpy and terrified :rofl:

If I had a flamethrower it would definitely have been on rhe table as an option. I wonder if TSC has those? :thinking:
I know this is an unreasonable fear. I’m sure they party out there in the yard while I am sleeping. BUT! Ignorance is bliss.
I did look at some snake gaiters on Amazon today.

Definitely not envious of the rattle snakes. We have them here to but we rarely see them.

Most prevalent venomous snake around me is a copperhead. Still not fun but not nearly as dangerous.

Hope he moves on out of your yard.

If I find it, it will definitely be relocated to snake “heaven” or hell, whatever you want to call it. :grin:

When I’m working in snake areas I carry an old 9mm revolver with rat shot load.
