Notes
Gym was a ghost town today! Basically last day before it closes so we through down to the best of our ability.

My boy PRd his slingshot max today at 290lbs which put a big grin on his face too.

I would have liked a better 270 AMRAP and maybe 325 for slingshot but I've been cramming in training lately since I fly Weds so getting it in is better than nothing.

Threw in some lats to help my boy find them. His are huge lol

New gym looks good! As we've discussed before, fresh equipment sometimes is enough to give you that new boost in training enthusiasm and targeting slightly different muscles.
 
we've been getting a decent harvest already from the garden, I have about 40 more chickens to butcher between mid Aug and the end of Sept but last nights bounty was steak from the family farm, potatoes my wife just dug up last night from our garden, as well as the greens from our garden.

I'm slowly getting a plan in place to start my fencing project for the winter. Its only an acre but I figure thats on average 4 sides (square-ish shape) at 200-210ft long. So I'm going to do one side at a time, probably 20-22 fence posts at 10ft gaps + a gate. The only reason its a bit complicated is because I'll be building it taller for deer fencing.... which means a traditional tractor/PTO driven post pounder won't reach. its gonna be all auger dug lol.

its a really fun feeling to look down at my plate and know that I put every thing there! the beef of course is raised at mom and dads but that's the annual hay work my boy and I put in. Come late august I'll have plates looking like this with chicken on them raised at our place :D

Oh man tough start to this one
Held up at work, missed lunch, stuck on phone with T-Mobile, get to alternative gym since mine closed permanently today at 2pm. Realize I've lost my belt again, borrow their Velcro bolt, my headphones which have been charging all day die on set 2.

So anyways, rolled in and raw dogged it, no preWO or anything since I didn't think I'd get a chance to lift anyways.

This gym isn't gonna work, bout as ghetto as I've seen. First ya got the black kid (20ish) on the basketball court screaming non stop so you can hear him across the gym. Just aaaahhhhhhh at the people he's balling with.

Couple old ladies sitting on machines with books. Not treadmills, but literally lat pulldowns.

Head into sauna and it's absolutely disgusting. Muddy, soaked floor. Check out the hot tub, it's brown water.

Take a quick shower, every shower curtain has a huge slash ripped into it at dick height revealing every man in there from the knees to the belly button.


W....t.....f....


All the sudden home gym is starting to look ok.

Well got home, I have my old harbinger belt in the closet but not my inzer. I have a feeling I left it at another gym. I'll find out for sure tomorrow....if not maybe I'll be in the market for a new lever belt. But man, these things last three lifetimes if you take care of them and DONT lose them lol

That sounds AWFUL lol
 
Well you did a good job getting the squats done despite the situations you faced.

This goes back to the importance of knowing where you’re sailing; even if you have to tack upwind at least you know you’re moving in the right direction despite less than ideal circumstances. You needed to squat and you got the important work in to keep the training cycle moving on point.
