How long until the neighborhood kids are in there lifting with you?
Haha. Hopefully awhile. There will be possibly 2 guys interested to lift some. My wife will use the fool out of it too. Heck, she can probably out squat me right now.
He is starting a private gym…how much for a key to get in and lift?
Haha! Would LOVE to have you guys to lift with.
Here’s where the magic will develop! Heading to tractor supply now for my flooring.

Have a gnarly cold, so kept it light and quick with a complex and arms. Figured this was spot on since I’m in rehab mode and have no rack too. Enjoyed it. Fronts felt good on the hip too. Focused on active depth, not relaxing at any point. No pain, which is a surprise.
First shipments have arrived!
Rogue 2.0 Training Bar
260lbs bumper plates - 4 - 45’s, 2 - 25’s, 2 - 15’s
I’m jealous. I have one set of 45s and a set of 25s for bumpers.
Went to doc today and got meds. Day 7 and my worst day so far. Going to knock this crap out.
So, gym update. Titan axle delivered today. Stupid delivery guy layed it on the ground at the base of my garage door and my wife drove over it. Just a little cosmetic damage to the collar, not concerned. It was a cheapie anyways.
CHRISTMAS COMES EARLY TOMORROW. 15 package pallet, 800lb order is set to deliver between 2-6pm. I’m going to plan on being here to accept it, and put that bitch together! Impact wrench is charged and ready to work.
Dude. Don’t share I don’t need any more temptation to buy more stuff
Took delivery today of the rest of my home gym. The upright bar storage is tiiight. And that neutral grip barbell and I are going to be great friends. It’s a beast. Got the bench put together. Heavy duty as hell. Couldn’t start on the X3 rack bc I didnt have a large enough socket lol. Everything about the thing is beast, along with the accessories. So far, very happy with Titan. Welds not the greatest, and a few blemishes here and there, but the value for what I paid is bar none.
Will get back to work on it this weekend. Hope to have everything set up and ready for my first workout Sunday.
You make me very jealous man.
Looking good, excited to see it man.
When you’ve been lifting a few times you won’t notice any of the small issues you pointed out. Gonna be awesome.
looks awesome Iron

Still sick with a gnarly cold. This was more of an intro workout, feeling out what works and what doesn’t. My lowest incline on the bench is higher than I wanted, but it’ll be fine. Trying to work shoulder friendly movements. Neutral grip/Swiss Bar was interesting. Def a learning curve. Love the bar. Rows with the swiss bar didnt work, kept banging knees. Will switch to DB or KB Row. Rest of WO went well. Very weak currently detrained and sick. Looking forward to the turnaround.

What are you doing for music in the garage?
Fancy stereo? Old boom box sitting on a cinder block?
