Tuesday

Our Visalia store is now open, A year of my life and many 3 hour drives and nights/weeks away from home. We had our Grand Opening Monday. had Kjugg there doing a live remote, the had the 15' tall wiskey jug there, two kinds of music I do not listen to, country & western, but it was fun. I am working out at Valley's Gym all week here in Visalai CA, very cool place, low key but good equipment and clean.

Nice Job Mike. Congrats on the new store. Looks like a good workout. I like the wide grip too on the seated cable row. I see you are posting your weights.You are more of a man than me. I am going to wait till I am stronger before I post the amount of weight You are like me in the sense that you work out on the road. I guess it is a choice between TV in the hotel room and the gym....the gym wins most of the time. Have a great week in the Valley's gym.

Thanks, I like the wide grip, gets an area I do not feel with anything else. In the beginning I was not going to post the weight, but I thought people would see that the weight is not very heavy most of the time and not be intimidated, I like to see what others are lifting. I wish Earl would put weight, but respect his reasoning for not (He would punk us all out). I have had to start from scratch and lift WAY less than in my younger years. The gym has been an issue for me, I talk myself in and out of going 10 times before I make it; I feel like a big fat guy who has no right to be there, all eyes are on me, judging me, laughing at me, my brain is hard wired to think this. Once I am there I feel pretty good, and really enjoy it. I see you enjoy working out at different places, that is very cool. I want to get to a place where I enjoy it more without the weirdness.
