Thanks to the 4board for the inspiration and help today. It's hard to be keep your chin up when you train at the "world's most poorly equipped gym" (according to some people - mainly people who still use progressive overload and get hurt and break down and like to blame others for their problems).


They know who they are.

Stay strong,
