It would make my day! 
Good luck with the move, and hopefully this is an opportunity to get some new lifting equipment. 
Moving, good luck! I hope the new place is excellent.

Trained in a friends garage. He has enough kit such that i could do my main exercises. He and his wife are putting us up until the new furniture for the apartment comes in.

Managed to wear myself out enough to where i fell ill. Been flat on the back for the last 4 days sleeping it out. As soon as i got better, my wife went down.
At least we’ve got the car now. Shipping company dropped it off a couple days after we landed.
Fun times.
I’m going to try to train tonight, but it may be a step backwards.

Sorry to hear you made yourself sick. Glad to hear you’re on the mend. Hoping Mrs. Albino has a speedy recovery.

Sometimes moving takes the starch out us. When we moved back to Idaho, between the nearly 5000 foot gain in altitude, and stress of moving, I was laid up for a bit. I hope tonight’s workout goes well.

Seems like a lot of people have been catching the ebola lately. Hope you feel better quick.

Bar is bent. Rolled in the hands on the clean. Had to do this outside because the (air-conditioned) garage ceiling is too low to do a standing press. I was drenched in sweat in minutes
Back in the garage

Summer here is no joke. Pressing power is way down. Pulling power maintained.

Good job on the dips and pull ups. Wherever summer is, it sounds as if it is not a dry heat.

Sounds like you got over the crud. Yeah, those summer garage workouts are a whole different ball game. Still, your friend has an air conditioned garage?!?!? I’ve never heard of that.

Heated, too. Livin the life. Now he’s got to get rid of the cars to make it a proper gym.

Household boxes finally made it across the country to my flat and my new bank almost kept me from taking delivery because, to them, paying the driver looked like a fraudulent transaction.
Cleared that and got our boxes, including clothes. Been living out of a suitcase and a friend’s laundry room charity.
Ready to get a routine going. Due to time difference now with work now, I’ll need to do morning workouts. Ew. Means more warmup, but maybe it’ll be a good thing.
Oh and I bought my friend a new Ohio power bar. His two bars were both bent. Unsafe. They’ll make good beater bars though.

Banks are ornery like that. But, seeing as I have had debit cards charged in London and Beirut, I am glad they are vigilant.

Must drink much water before going and lots of water while there. This doesn’t look like much, but it wiped me out. Nearly went to the floor after the leg superset. I’ll put it down to infrequent training, an intervening illness and dehydration.

Are you running Alex Bromley’s programming off his app?
I’m test-running the program in the BoostCamp app. If I like it, I’ll probably sign up for Bromley’s app.

I looked at it. I think his app is $24.99 a month. Kind of steep for me but I guess it’s basically like an AI personal trainer with programming.
I have heard good reviews about his programs.
Excited to see what you think about it.
