It's genuinely the best investment I ever made.

Tonight I did hands wide SSB squat triples to 315, then 2 giant sets of SSB box squats, glute ham raises, reverse hypers and sissy squats.

Then 2 giant sets of yoke walk, copenhagens and calf raises. Finished with some tabata sled dragging.

Turns out Jay Electronica/Jay-Z's Universal Soldier is a good lifting song.

That glow back is gonna be epic though.

My cardio is gonna be on point.

Shot them one this morning. No response but also hasn’t been read. I’m thinking they’re closed.

My half-arse home gym definitely isn't anything to brag about but frick am I glad i have it right now. Things might get interesting tomorrow though. I have a feeling you're not supposed to load the bar with 400-500 lbs. in a $200 power rack so its entirely possible I might die doing squats in my living room. Guess there's worse ways to go.

I didn't die!!!! The rack was wobbling all over the place but it held up, barely. I was supposed to go up to 505 lb. but all I have are bumper plates so I ran out of room on the bar sleeves.

Squat singles up to 385. 385 was way slower than I wanted, but I'm coming off a deload and working back up.

2 giant sets of SSB squats x3, RDL's, reverse hyper and sissy squats.

3 giant sets of yoke walk, calves and copenhagens. Felt good that I got into the high 500's in yoke walk for the first time in a bit.

2 supersets of 255x5 paused SSB squats and 315x5 Romanian deadlifts.

2 giant sets of reverse lunges, good mornings, reverse hyper and sissy squats.

Weighted sprints and tabata air bike to finish.
