Day 3

Instead of training on this day Dan and myself spend the evening preparing his garage to be the location of our new garage gym. We have dubbed it Mattawan Barbell. It’s just the bare bones of what we need to do our squatting, deadlifting and benching, but it’s awesome and I think it going to work out great. It’s definitely a far cry from the commercial gym we’ve been training in for the last few months. Now there won’t be any waiting to use equipment or terrible elevator music playing while we’re attempting to lift heavy objects.
