Thanks Gary. I think I'm flourishing more in the gym compared to working out at home. I have so much to my disposal. I'm sort of suprised of how heavy I'm lifting on the DB Bench presses.
I just sold my home gym today since it was taking up too much space in the garage. I kept the DB's and pullup bar though.

I'm just frickin utterly exhausted. My 2 y/o daughter keeps climbing into bed in the middle of the night and she is a BED HOG!! Next weekend the wife and I are going to move the beds around and get her out of the toddler bed into a "big girl bed" and hopefully she'll stay a full night in there. Its getting too old!!
I leave for my big tourney on Thursday and cannot wait. Kinda stressed cause people keep backing out on me or they don't call me back to confirm that they are going.

Tomorrow I'll do a sort of modified shoulder/leg workout cause I won't be able to workout until monday.
