Thanks for stopping by! I didn’t waste much time going to get it. Apparently it was donated to the small fire department and they are having to move their gym for office space and didn’t want to move it. Good for me!
I needed some heavier DBs so I am stoked!

Thanks! I have been steady working on it. I just can’t seem to getbthe hang of pushing it backwards.
WHAT A SCORE!!! Happy DAY!!!
Your oh presses look good to me. A tip I have ot tell myself is clench my butt and also brace my abs a lot more then I thought I needed to, it makes a difference.
I HATE straight bar oh pressing myself, can never get it comfortable, feels bad on my wrists. BLEH! I bet you can make yourself a lil DIY log or swiss bar with your medal working skills if you ever wanted! LOG IS WAY BETTER!

Thanks Brute! I am on the look out for some pipe to make a log. I think the swiss bar would be pretty easy to build I have already thought about it.
I need the 1 inch pipe for the hand holds for my farmers carry handles. (That’s the only part I am missing.) Thinking about buying a 20 foot joint instead of nipples so I will have enough for the swiss bar.

Thanks! I will send happy, free stuff vibes your way!
True story. I’m working towards a bodyweight push press, and a hard abs and glutes brace isn’t just helpful but necessary for heavier weights.

Well I was trying brace my abs but I was so poofy from lunch I had to use only the first set of prongs on my belt. Maybe eating the whole order of sweet biscuits from the China Wok, after the steamed dumplings, wasn’t such a great idea before lifting

Scored a big pile of free lumber from a remodel job in town. Hoping to get my gym closed up, just in case winter decides to drag its ass down here.

I got the parts of new toy laying in my gym. Which I had to pack piece at time down to my gym (about 75 yards! that should count for something. Now there is no room to lift 
Of course we a have 40% chance of rain tonight because it hasn’t rained in months. I needed to leave this stuff outside until I got some the other stuff out.
Totally screwed up my lifting this week but it will be worth it in the long run. I am just going to rerun week 1 next week. It will have to do.

Don’t mind me, I’m just here for the innuendo. I have nothing insightful to offer on the lifting or building front I’m afraid.

Lol! I am looking for 5-7 inch pipe, uhmm, not implying anything here but…
You want 5 seven inch pipes? I mean, that just seems greedy
When you dealing with pipe that small you have to make sure it has the right “feel” to it.

Metal pipe to build me a mini strongman log to press.

Is press code? 
If it were, the first thing I would have to do is find a strongman here (as in, where I live) and the odds of that, ain’t looking good😩
Better stick to using the log for OHP. Brute says she likes it better than a straight bar, and let’s face it, I couldn’t be any worse at it!

FWIW, my press has progressed more in the last few months than ever before. The biggest change has been changing to a seated press after watching @bulldog9899 do them.
I’m still very bad at pressing, but at least I know how to increase it now (for me).

Maybe I should try that. I usually hyperextend my back doing them and therefore don’t like them in the first place. I have figured out this is the one thing my belt is good for.
I usually do the DB presses seated, so maybe I should try it with the bar.
