Cowboy's Switch the Darkside

Hmmmm... so here is another thought.

If I dont hear back from the store tomorrow with a way to pay for the bar and confirmation that my rack is in. I am going to call them see if they will refund my 45s as they have not been used, and refund everything else. Should get me 1900 back.
Leaves me with SSB, Bench, 4 25s, 4 5s, 2 2.5s which is fuck all. Then start back at the gym and watch for people selling their new equipment for cheap or buy new when things slow down maybe by August. I dunno or just wait for this cheap shit to show whenever it shows and use the gym until then

So Bells of Steel sold all the stock again in an hour. So no go for me they expecting more in August. Keep the existing order going and hit the gym on the 18th

Damn, that’s crazy

Last time I checked the place I bought my rack from is restocked. They typically sell more "commercial grade" equipment to gyms which is probably why they aren't sold out. But at least you'll never need another rack again. Lol

Apparently my bar and rack are in and I am picking up tomorrow. Not sure anything else in but now I can start lifting again.

Give it a couple weeks to get back into it and then add 100mg drol a day.... yay....

 

[Btcowboy]

So got the rack, bar, and my 35s. Still waiting on my 10s and Dumbell handles. Atleast now I can lift again..

Had the young fella over helping build the rack. I was really wanting to deadlift when we were finished.

Worked up to 405 and it went up easy, so dont think this layoff was too bad at least on deads.

 

[Worf]

That’s what I’m talkin bout. More tape on that pad! Train or die!

 

[Btcowboy]

Rack bolted down, plate tree my buddy built painted, got to let cure before plates go on it.

Re arranged set up so I think looks pretty good

Fuck yeah brother.

Good to see it coming together.

I'm also not surprised at you losing very little strength.
It doesnt go down too fast from my experience when it comes to time off.

Time to hit the bar with a fucking vengeance.

Fuck cardio

Thats the plan brother, no rest for the wicked once I get going.

Think in a couple weeks I will either bring test up to 500 or 600/wk and run drol at 100/d. Or keep test at 200 and just add the drol at 100

 

[Worf]

Not too bad

Not too bad

Need some gym shit on the walls, have it a bit darker and darker paint on the walls lol

 

[Btcowboy]

Fired the weights on the tree, and the SSB. Looks good. Paint not so much, should have powder coated it.

So I am still waiting on 4 10lb plates and swapping those 8 45lb bumpers for 10 45lb rubber coated like the rest. That will give me 685lbs of plates to work with if my math is right.

I am an addict, cant stay out of there or looking at the pics lol... looks like home for me lol

 

[Perrin Aybara]

Would be nice to not get all muddy working out or have worms hiding underneath the plates when you pick them up.

 

[Btcowboy]

And ordering this for the big long wall I have. Its roughly 6 feet long 3 feet tall.
