I coached for 3 years while going to tech school. I started Jiu-Jitsu and did that for a year along with some boxing and MMA. I couldn't afford to do it anymore because of the 1 hour long drive to and from the MMA gym. Now I lift weight in hopes of becoming a monster. I have also started hand balancing.

Very nice. I like thickbar work too, and I bought a solid 2" piece 8 feet long, cost me right at $117. 85lbs. I use it mainly for squatting, as I have a homemade sort of squat rack outside and needed the extra length. Nice squat #s too.

Someone was doing high pulls on it then left. The guy waiting said "Yo buddy, are you gonna just leave your weight?" The guy puts the weight away and calls him an asshole under his breath. HAHA!
