Notes: it’s a hot one this afternoon in the garage. Hands got very slick even with chalk and lost my grip on last rep of 205lb and 225lb. Figured I better just move on to the rower rather than try to get those last reps.

Notes: moved training maxes up this week…again screwed it up by moving everting up +10lbs Upper and Lower (I must be too busy to think straight). Anyways, bench at the low TM last 3 weeks felt really easy which is fine but I figured if I can use DB’s this next 3-week cycle instead of straight bar that might be a positive adjustment. Worked out pretty well today. SSB seated GMs were great. Going to have to add those in more often. I was sure to use the safeties for this just in case it went up and over my head or any other potential disaster.

That your own setup in the picture?

Yep, took a while to gather everything but only wish I had done it sooner. No regrets going solo in a garage vs commercial gym. Can do whatever you want and lift whenever you want.

Yeah I agree, I don’t miss training in a gym with other people at all. Your home gym looks awesome!
