Fast day... well at least most of it. I'll see how it goes. Looking for the benefits, not necessarily the calorie reduction, though that's a bonus. Steely Dan morning.
GauchoMY NEW STUFF!!!

Olympic bar and the weights for it are new. That's 290 pounds on that bar. It should keep me busy for a while.
I did the math and I've now broken even. The inventory:
Power rack
Olympic bar
250 pounds of Olympic plates
2 - 1" straight bars
500 pounds of weight 1" weights (I'll sell half now)
3 racks for weights
Cable pull down station
EZ Curl bar
Trapezius bar (welded it myself)
Old school chain drive rowing machine
All in, and after lifting for 3 years, (and just now feeling I understand how to put it all together) I have spent the same amount of money it would have cost me for 3 years of gym membership. Next up? I'd love to have machine for quads and hamstrings. Maybe I'll hang onto those 1" plates for now. The big issue will be commandeering more of the basement. :|
