finding a nice basement
« on: August 08, 2014, 10:17:48 PM »
such places lend themselves to quiet contemplation

it's good if you have access to one

then you can throw some weights around while you're down there

It's great to be able to meditate and wreak havoc in the same spot

nobody can bother you so it's pretty much heaven

I had a friend with the same weight set in his basement. Vinyl treasures. He had huge pec and would come to school and complain that his "tits hurt" when going up the stairs the day after bench pressing

He had a stack of huge amps and giant speakers so we blasted our fav's

Yes, that is a squat rack. The safety catch is set a a great depth in case I get stuck.

The best treadmill I have ever been on is my True brand. It sits broken and I think I can fix it but I have been too lazy. This Sole brand is the back up. It's okay but doesn't feel half as solid as the True.
