Go in wood. Find rock. Lift rock. Find log. Lift log.

I think Net is in California.  They have no woods in California.

But he could bench press Smartcars.

[EK WAFFLR]

Clean & Press models works too.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

That is clearly Oregon.

I want to play too, so I'm starting my poor person's weight training regimen.

So far it's been a backpack full of books with waist and chest straps on while doing a few sets of push ups and squats. Then I do some kettlebellish cleans, which work surprisingly well considering the bulkiness of the pack.

I'm starting with about 30 pounds of books, but I'm going to have to find something heavier to put in there because it's not quite enough.

More reps with a low weight is a better way to start.  THEN raise the weight.

Also, dumbells are surprisingly cheap, and they can be used to work complimentary muscles so you don't wind up all lopsided.

I'll check it out. My roommate might split the cost with me.

Yeah, a guy your size, you'd need a pair of the following sizes:  10 lb, 15 lb, 20 lb.  You should also have something resembling a bench, but it's not entirely necessary.

Probably can jerry-rig something with some pallets and foam.

What's important is that it be stable.

Point. Might see what I can find on Craigslist.

Aah, can't type fast enough on borrowed tablet. Must go do Dad stuff.

Also, strongman related stuff can be fun. Heavy found objects and the like. I have a fucking heavy boat engine part I found in WaffleGF's garage when she moved out of her old house, and it is my nemesis. Almost impossible to get a grip on, about 75-90 kgs. I'm gonna get it over my head, very soon.

And then Waffles was found under an unweildy boat motor.

It's lower body day. 

In 25 minutes.

I'm glad I don't split my days in upper/lower body. Everyday is legday.

I admire this thought process.

I might add that cinder blocks are stable, heavy, and cheap.

Caught my leg on the frame of the machine, broke a vein under the skin.  It doesn't hurt, but it looks like hell.  Like I have a golf ball under my skin.
