What is the diameter of your PVC?

4"" inches. It's width that counts...right?

You've seen Gran Torino i take it? Fine piece of filmmaking...now get off my lawn.

Oh, I've got one. A Mexican, a Jew, and a colored guy go into a bar. The bartender looks up and says, 'Get the fuck out of here."

Yup. Fuck cine capri by the way. $10? blah. They built it about a year ago? It's cool. Parking blows ass though.

Maybe I'm already nostalgic for the PNW? I've been feeling really couped up not working and getting out for a hike at sundown has helped.

I really need to fix the tail-tucking when I squat, any suggestions are welcome. I'm going to work those stubborn hammies with a softball a lot. Bench felt weak tonight and I struggled through the the last few reps of each set... time to bump down for a week or two. I swam a dozen laps for cooldown and then had a suna endurance batte with a mid-age azn man. He kept pouring water over the temperature sensor and restarted the steam. This raised to temp to near death experience levels. His ninja lamaze breathing was superior to mine. He won the battle....this time.
 
Seems like most of the time you see pronounced butt-wink it is due to a lack of flexibility and a very narrow stance. I think taking a wider stance and focusing on spreading the floor/keeping your knees out will help.

Why haven't you set up your home gym yet?

I got 3 horse stall mats today and fixed the beastly power rack to the wall. I swung on it a bit today... solid. I need about 315lb in 45s to squat and deadlift heavy.

Whats a good price per pound? 40 cents? I'm thinking $18-20 per 45lber. I'll see what I can a mass this weekend, then Zero can come over and we can become the Wonder twins. I call Zan.
 
One on my bumpers had a weird booger mark on it and won't slide on the bar, after a session with the drum sander bit I persuded it on.

So far I have:
2x 44lb bumpers
2x45
2x35
2x25
2x10
2x5
2x2.5

heavy ass power rack
bench
3 stall mats
adjustable dbs that tp out at 65 right now
slam ball
gymnastic rings
ab wheel
and a beer belly
 
Under $0.50/lb is decent. The problem you'll find is that the guys who are selling plates usually have the 300lb bar + bench package with only two 45s and want to sell everything together.

I found that my dl stance was too narrow too. I opened it up this week and felt much, much stronger. I don't know why I got it in my head my heels nneeded to be ~12-15 in apart. In concentrating on a narrow stance when deadlifting would always point my feet straight forward too. Turning the toes out and taking a more athletic dl stance lets my settle in easier too.

I'll widen up my squats and spread the floor. I've noticed in full cleans I catch much wider than I back squat, fron squats too. Thanks Chase.
 
It's like Bizzaro world: Now Zero will be coming to YOUR gym and YOU will the be the strong one.
