Awesome! Getting powerful feels so damn good. My previous gym had two squat racks and two bench racks... Most have at least a power cage. Insurance? Isn't that what all the machines are for? ;)

I bought two kettlebells, a floor mat and a smart scale for my home gym two weeks ago. My plan is to just build up the habit and keep it fun before I get more equipment and go on a bulk. Slow and steady. However... I've already lost 3 lbs just because I went from "eating whatever and no exercise" to "eating healthier and some exercise". I hope it plateaus soon, my BMI dropped to 19.7 yesterday.. .

We've got some power racks, but they see constant usage. Hard to get in, sometimes. Most people want to see (empty!) treadmills when they walk into a gym, I guess. I've used a form of "have" that implies "now", but that's how it is just about everywhere I've been for a solid decade, except for GLORIOUS CU Boulder.

Someday, I'm going to mortgage a house. Then, I will have payed for some percentage of a garage. Then, I will completely own a squat rack.

There's a fictional deity that may comprise an entirely too centralized portion of my general mentality, and his name is Coach. Coach is a hyper-dimensionally* ripped meathead who spots you at least 50% better than Jesus. Jesus won't make you beg for it like Coach will, but Jesus isn't getting massive gainz, is he? And Coach doesn't fucking care what you're training for. Coach just wants you to vomit before, during, and after your workout, every day, but he'll settle for once a year or so. Cool guy, Coach.
