I know there was a lot of jest in that post but it really does feel like a big thing. So silly really,
It’s just a place to train and most of the time I do that alone and don’t talk to anyone.
It is exciting. The nerves / excitement is making feel young. LOL

Nice dinner out with the misses and the kids at the local sports club. They were doing a raffle while we were there so Wife bought $5 worth of tickets. And we actually won a Christmas ham, big sucker at 6.5kg (14 lbs). I guess her birthday Must have been her lucky day.

Great session in the new gym. Met Paul Anderson (not the Paul Anderson of course), also met and spoke to a few other members. Really good vibe and nice members. I am going to love it here

Smashing another one of these tonight. I have been hungry as hell all day long. Having a massive smoothie before bed to make me sleep like a lion with a full belly.

The new gym probably has less opportunity to take pics or video than the last one as it is a little busier with people who actually want to train. But I will try and get some soon.
…. Damn you for finding what must be described as the only acceptable excuse.
Lol but seriously, sounds like the new gym is pretty sick. Jealous of the steel plates, that’s pretty awesome. Notice any difference in how the lifts themselves feel?
its funny you say that because everything felt different. Using a competition bench rather than a wobbly bench in the rack was different, using a good power bar with proper knurling and different spacing vs a worn out cheap shit bar felt different. Using metal plates vs bumpers felt different.
Using a different rack and good bar for rows and behind neck press felt different. Having no mirrors to look in when I trained felt different.
Pics from their website to give you an idea

Been to Paul Anderson’s home and Youth home in Georgia several time. Spoke at my High School around 1972. He’d reaaly slimmed down at that time. Some traing equipment at his home, (whole in the back yard for squating) makes you realize we don’t need all the fancy equipment.

Nice gym! The bech in the 6th pix from the top looks real interesting. Very wide bench and safety straps. Never seen like that before.

I think it is a rogue bench with a fat pad on it. I didn’t use that one for benching last night, I used the bench by the doors you can see in the bottom pic with the Ivanko USA plates
