My bank is moving me to their headquarters, which has an awesome gym in the basement. I'm unreasonably excited to have a longer commute if it means I can go right from my desk into the gym every day. I'm gonna get jacked and pale (from never seeing the sun again).

I’m getting switched to nights next month (8pm - 5am) and I’m not looking forward to trying to figure out how I’m gonna train and eat during this.

Kettlebells are super useful. You can suspend them from the bar with bands and bench that. Or use them as doorstops. Lots of good uses.

They are also great for leaving around the house to trip over in the middle of the night

You stub your toe on it, then lift your foot to step over whatever it was while swearing, catch your foot in the handle, and go sprawling headlong It's an ingenious design

turd in my singlet posted:It is, in fact, nothing to worry about. maaaaybe. I have crepitus in my knees. They crack like hell but there's nothing structurally wrong with them. My shoulder has always popped if I moved it a certain way but didn't really hurt. Now it's like a double-pop and a weird feeling with some pain. It feels like something might be tracking wrong. I'm just going to avoid the more triggering exercises for awhile.

Why don't you come to our gym and do some swings and getups? Maybe a few snatches? No pressure to join but just come hang out and see that it's actually pretty fun and cool

I did some weighted push ups today and they didn't hurt my shoulder. Did some flyes as well. Good start to the weekend.

I still need to check it out but it’s half a mile away from work vs the athletic club across the street.

I wish I could use chains more but I mainly workout at 5am and my setup is right below my 18 month old-'s room.

Wenning explains at like 4:30 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3PM9_MwlK2Q Also train your toddler to sleep through clangin and bangin

My workouts would be about 20 minutes shorter if I didn't have to stop between sets to read stories to my kid.

Naptime in the afternoon she is a rock and I can do a full deadlift session underneath her. Her favorite activity is also lifting things. She got super mad the other day when she couldnt budge my sandbag and ended up just screaming and hitting it

Baby chat: I’m about to have twins, might take a break when they first come we will see how it goes 🤷♂️. My 40kg and 48kg kettlebells arrived yesterday so I’ll be able to get in some good work at home either way.

My 40kg and 48kg kettlebells arrived yesterday so I’ll be able to get in some good work at home either way. Congratulations bomb! Make sure Mrs. bomb knows she's fully supported - one child is an incredible drain on its own and I almost can't imagine how it works with two. As a counterpoint I used my paternity time to start making sure I worked out 6 times a week (always v. early AM) and saw incredible gains I hadn't seen in ages. At bedtime last night my now 3 year old daughter tried to climb on my head and was delighted when I just cleaned and jerked her like the little 12 kg kettlebell she is.
