The Y board lifting thread

[IroNat]

Thanks - the mound is cool - someone built it out of wood and put shitty carpet on it.  Gave it to me and I had scrap astroturf that I used, and cut up some rubber flooring to make the pitching rubber....now it looks awesome.  Not bad for a freebee.

The best things in life are free.

Or from Walmart.

I will admit Walmart has the best plastic bags for storing scooped catshit from the litter box.

I say this will 100% seriousness.

They have thick plastic bags, the kind that doesn't tear.

Compare that to target (reusable cloth), Trader Joes (paper) or other supermarkets (shitty, easily tear-able plastic) and it's not even close.

Some states outlawed plastic bags.

If plastic bags are outlawed only outlaws will have plastic bags.

Harris Teeter in S.C. has awesome plastic bags.

First solid week of lifting in a while. It's good to be sore from the gym again.

[CalvinH]

Lots of starts and stops but slooowly getting back .

[Grape Ape]

I am working around this torn forearm.

No pain, but can "feel it" and has tightness.

So can't lift anything, but can bench and squat.

Grape,
When you go to Florida to play baseball do you have a team that all go down there together to play in a tournament?

Grape,

Yes, and this how most teams do it.

However, there are folks that can classify as a "free agent" and get picked up by teams if they need players.

For the Fall tourney, teams do tend to get more stacked because that is the Hobbes World Series and you actually get a ring.

[CalvinH]

Nobody lifts anymore

[Grape Ape]

Nobody lifts anymore

I have been lifting, albeit still limited.

I have added real powerlifting shoes, and they seem to make a world of difference.
