Ah, makes sense For some reason I thought it was permanently affixed to the wall. Which would be strange...

"like" does not encapsulate my feeling about your gym. stuff of dreams! bad a$$ Thanks. I'm fortunate enough to have the space for it. I recently broke even on the cost of that gym vs cost of a membership, so as long as I don't keep spending money on equipment (I'm totally going to be spending money on equipment), it'll start saving me some cash. It already does save me a long commute and a few hours of wasted time per week. Not pictured: My flippin' tire, and the components for sandbags. 1 Quote The Battle Chef's Log Link to comment

I do however have a surprise bonus day off this Friday, so I believe naps will be a thing. Quote The Battle Chef's Log Link to comment

The Battle Chef Posted May 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 Week 7 Day 4 Ended up filling sandbags for training and feeling sulky. I now have 10 (25#) sandbags and a box of demolition bags to hold them. The demolition bags are only rated for 110# each, but as long as I double them up and am not overly aggressive they should hold up. Worst case scenario I can get a crappy duffel bag and cut the straps off.Week 8 Day 1 Bench Press 3x5+ 155# 5/5/7 Barbell Row 3x5+ 155# 5/5/6Squat 3x5+ 155# 5/5/6 I was tempted to do this as a circuit 'cause the weights for the 3 main lifts are identical, but I don't think I am strong enough to move the fully loaded barbell from the floor to the squat height just yet. Everything went smoother than anticipated, which is nice. Knee/elbow sleeves (the ace bandage variety, not a powerlifter sleeve or anything) helped, I think. 1 Quote The Battle Chef's Log Link to comment

The Battle Chef Posted May 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Temproary hiatus due to workplace injury. Update: Hurt my back/knee at work being a dumbass. It isn't as bad as I thought but I'm taking a week off lifting. I don't want to aggravate it and, to be honest, I'm exhausted anyway. This was going to be my de-load week anyway.

The Battle Chef Posted June 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 The week of rest is over. I decided to work up to a max deadlift single for fun. I did NOT expect to hit 300# with good form. That's a x1 bodyweight deadlift right there. 2 Quote The Battle Chef's Log Link to comment

The Battle Chef Posted June 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Worked up to a 135# overhead press today. Finding it hard to get gym time, but I've been doing so much yard work it basically counts. A friend of mine was helping me clear out some storm debris and I got him to help me move some old tractor attachments (I think it was a grader?). It didn't look too big, but he was there so why not. Turns out 2/3 of the damn thing sunk into the ground. That's what happens when it sits there for 20 years, I guess? Waaaaay heavier than we thought but we got it moved. Shit like that is why I lift. 2 Quote The Battle Chef's Log Link to comment

I am told by other people who ran the program that the first 3 weeks are hell adjusting to the format & volume. So it's good to know it's not just me being a wimp, lol. Honestly, never trained to to point of being sick before. My poor gym floor did not deserve that... I refuse to quit. Don't care if I cannot complete an entire workout from here until week 12. Not quitting. 1 Quote The Battle Chef's Log Link to comment
