Tuesday
No chance of a lay in today. I had five new steel exterior doors arrive (for my home - a former club house) at 7.30am or so. A couple are seriously heavy and the rest just heavy ha ha. Even with a neighbor giving me a hand with the last two I was sweating - all before breakfast. It'll be a veritable Fort Knox when it's done (with luck next week). Then I had my builder over (I have a 'my builder' now lol) literally after I did 2 x 1 reps on the heavy set. So between rep 2 and rep 3 there was a 30 minute gap. But going all over the building kept me warmed up.

The local fuzz aren't going to be crashing through those doors, I'll bet.

With difficulty lol.

I ordered one of Mobster's mags back in the day. It was cool.

Mobs, obviously you train with bodybuilding techniques. But do you consider grip sports to be bodybuilding, powerlifting, or something unique?

Closer to strongman. Both their farmers holds or farmers walks and the Pillars of Hercules are grip strength. They also have thick bar events.

It means not including today. So Friday was the only day I trained this week. Back on schedule next week but still doing some work on the house (mostly moving the debris etc from the building work I have going on).
