The home workout thing is going pretty well. I'm doing 100% free weight exercises which is just like I trained back in high school before I had a gym membership. It's kind of funny to be using the exact same barbell that I was when I was sixteen and struggling to bench 185 for one rep. I go tan at the pool afterward, lying in the sun and savoring the endorphins. I still need a power rack for squats, but they run about $300. I'm going to start checking the classifieds on the off chance that someone is getting rid of one on the cheap. I also need some adjustable dumbbells and a chin/dip station, but here's what I have so far:
45lbs x 12
35lbs x 2
25lbs x 2
10lbs x 4
5lbs x 10
2.5lbs x 4
*olympic bench w/ incline capability
*olympic barbell w/ clips
*EZ-curl bar w/ collars
*trap bar
*neck harness
*dip belt
We've got a big stereo in the living room, so I can play whatever the hell I want. It's A-OK. I'm just going to have to make sure to ventilate the place and light some candles so it doesn't start to smell like a locker room.
All-in-all, I feel pretty good about the switch. I'll miss some of the people at the gym, but I see almost all of them at the bar or on campus anyway.
