Cowboy's Switch the Darkside

That is the plan tomorrow when they open. No cash now unless i skip my mortgage payment this week or wait a week if that doesnt screw me. Sounds like they may also shut down my firehalls gym until this blows over as well.
Government doing what they do best, use the media to cause a crisis and then swoop in with a solution. These people are fucking up people’s business, peoples jobs, causing hysteria all over something equitable to the Flu. I hope people start comin to their senses and turn off the damn news.

Yeah,
I'm facing total ba bankruptcy for all I've worked for the past 7 years in my company.

Is what it is,
I have food in the table and my family is okay.
THAT is what's Important.

I couldnt agree more.

Good to hear you're still hitting the gym

Stay swole brother, need to hit that 315 bench.

I'm assuming work is crazy right now... accidents etc like wild.

Sorry to hear about the finances. Due to oil and gas crash here I went that way last year.

Yeah the gym is open for now but the push to close all non essentials is coming. Trying buy all I need to continue lifting at home if I can get it and have the cash.

We have been scaled back on medicals with flu like symptoms, and let the paramedics handle them, unless they are unstable and cant wait for paramedics, this has slowed us down on some of the medical calls, still dealing with fires and MVIs which if we all got sick doing medicals we wouldnt be able to do.

Very true.
You are about as essential and essential services can get lol
Keeping first responders on the road is of utmost importance in times like these
 
Well got the mortgage deferal so funds are available if I can get the equipment theu said it starts next month and I have a payment this week but they said if I dont have the funds and it goes NSF they will reimburse the NSF charge

Thinking this will be last workout at the gym as it will more than likely be closed. The firehall gym is closed as well. Trying to get equipment is tough. The lower end stuff is gone, no 45lb plates, no 25lb plates, no 7 foot oly bars only womens bars available. So can get higher end stuff and spend an extra 800 to a grand more amd still no bar to lift it. One store expecting more oly bars tomorrow or Wednesday but things may be shutdown by then or they will sell out before Incan get down there to buy(2hrs south).
 
Cant get shit without a bar no point buying the rest and have load up on 35s and spend more than I should. Fuck it a few months of nothing but kayaking or walking fuck this shit.
 
I have two 45's and twelve 35's. Took what I could get at a reasonable price for now. I do my deficit deadlifts with 35's anyway, so if I get 45's later the 35's won't just be wasted. Have you checked Facebook swap and craigslist?

They’re all killing it right now. I guess if I get layed off I can go find a job at one of these equipment manufacturers
 
So gave up for now, was pissing me off too much to keep looking. The one store here that had all but a bar can go fuck themselves. Marked most of the stuff up on the quote some by over 100 dollar mark up to their online price, when I called him on it he said well with whats going om we havent had time to change the site, in other words we marked it up due to situation. So when i do set up my gym he wont be where i buy it from.

On that the health authority has told my gym as it stands they can stay open bit of course this can change any time. So gonna do Wednesday workout tomorrow incase it closes Wednesday and I am on call Wednesday anyways

I vape and went to get some vape juice. Talking with the guy there said he knows a powerlifter with a home gym looking for someone to workout with and spot so maybe another option

If all this fails will walk, sprint, kayak and drop weight not much else i can do.

I asked our gym if I could borrow some plates and bands and they blew me off. I was willing to let a few people come to train but I guess not. People are acting stupid about this. Still see a lot of people at Home Depot, Walmart gas stations. Etc. Nobody keeling over standing in line for toilet paper but god damn these big retailers are acting fucking stupid as shit about all this” social distances “ is what they are calling it.stay 6’ away from other people etc. I do that most of the time and still manage to get sick at least once or twice a year, don’t see how this is any different.

Yup just getting stupid.
 
I had this awesome plan to build an 8x8 workout platform with spot for deads. Excited to workout when I wanted and not missing the plan due to being too busy oh well one day.

Felt good but benching 2 days in a row arms hating it. But went up nice, had a narrow bar on the bench today so grip was off.
 
Well guess it was a good thing didnt get and start running tren. Once I am sure I have no issues with gym access I may. I just got a Tee that says body built by trenbalogna sammiches so until I do run tren it is false advertising lol
 
Not sure if this is still available or not, doubtful as posted a week ago. Anyone have any reviews on it, not finding many on google. I am not sure I like the safetys or the chin up, this is used for 650 and I can get better new for 100 more.20200324_191724.jpg
