It was very good. It was not sweet at all which is a positive for me.


I will ask this though... when you live with someone with a massage certification do you need a massage gun?

 

Yup. It’s not necessarily just for a “massage” it’s more to get the blood flowing to the area. She usually will do the deep tissue massage and then hit me with the gun for a few minutes. It also gets in areas she’s not as good at. She typically uses her elbows. She’s got weak hands lol so she can’t really dig in to the knots I get in my rotator cuff area so one of the attachments digs in real good

 

no happy ending with the gun...unless you take care of it yourself....but it does turn on any time you feel like it.

 

May have broken this floor just a little...



Oh well

 

And the weights

 

Mine is always “on”. Havent found the off button yet.

 

Corona workout Day 2: I’m not sure what life has become.

50 air squats
1.5 mile run
50 squats
1.5 mile run
50 squats

30min and some change. Not bad for a fat powerlifter. Literally have done no cardio in like 18 months.

none of this bothered the quad at all, but I can’t do one single lunge without pain.

 

Deadlifts today (obviously). Still hitting good numbers even though the gym is closed. I said fuck it and put all the weights I had on the bar and did top sets of 2x2.

 

Let’s just buy a barbell. Fuck these air squats and push ups and stuff. It sucks lol.

 

Really really really kicking myself right for selling an entire gym last year. Haha.

 

Hahahah dude that would suck so bad.

30 days with no gym or weights for most of us is absolute garbage lol. Wife is gonna be not so happy if I can find some 45’s and a barbell for sale locally

 

Lol I have been using my mom's Walmart brand barbell. It's shit but it works for now

 

I’m currently haggling on a bowflex I found for sale online. Lol.

three weeks ago I would be poopy-faced if my favorite bar was being used by someone else when I got to the gym.

 

Haha I maxed out my dad's old Bowflex and the whole thing started bending and making some scary noises

 

Thankfully I belong to a private gym down the street that the owner put California on the map for doing power lifting meets... but, during these times a home gym does seem the safer bet. What's the highschool kid doing for food and workouts today, yesterday, anytime?...

 

Well, between my brother and myself, we have acquired a bowflex, barbell, 4 100lb plates, 2 45s, 25s, 10s, 5s. Adjustable curl bar, 10-35 dumbbells and a set of 50s. Now if we can just find a squat rack or build one.

Let’s go!

 

I have to say, overhead press with bands and a large dowel is actually kinda kicking my ass these days. Who knew?

Obviously pretty ghetto but it should work as long as you’re not an idiot.

 

I litt threw my set of jerk blocks i had built when we first opened the gym in a dumpster a few months ago. Would have been perfect temporary squat rack. Lol. Live and learn.

 

I may have access to a power rack if you want me to check
