Garage Gym - In Progress

Right on with blood donations. Doing a double reds donation today. They are vampires as they are really targeting people with O type blood. Just became eligible to donate a couple days ago and have been getting a ton of emails from them. Turns out I get a 15 gift card just for donating today. Free dinner!

Nice O blood is valuable

The leg extension/curl? It’s Titan. Today is a pull day but will be putting it to good use tomorrow with legs.

 

[Shock6050]

They also just got stock back in for their lat pulldown/low row stand alone machine (plate loaded). However looks like most got snatched up but more are expected in a week or 2.

Just donated yesterday and got whole bunch th of extra points get my lipids checks for free and will just save my Amazon gift cards till Christmas then use to buy gifts haha

 

[Shock6050]

Yeah got some goodies, but damn they really fucked up my arm. I’ve never had issues before. This lady just completely pulled the needle back then turned it sharp. Hurt really bad. I’m sure that’s why I’ve got a lot of bruising.

 

[Shock6050]

Lol just looked at it from elbow up. Appears to have 2 eyes, nose, mustache, and a pronounced mouth.

 

[JLee]

That sucks. Last two times I’ve donated that’s happened to me. You can as soon as they put the needle in that they F- up.

 

[Shock6050]

Definitely, as soon as it was abruptly moved I knew I was likely going to be bruised up afterwards.

 

[Poppy]

They messed you up!!!

 

[Dirtnasty]

I haven’t had any issues tih donating the past year I even get thanks from the nurses for having easy veins haha

 

[Shock6050]

That’s the strangest thing. The tech/nurse said before pinning me that I’ve got 3 awesome veins for her to choose. Well appears she missed. Bruising is getting a bit better. Been using a cold pack from time to time.

 

[Shock6050]

So added some LED light strands, since I was gifted them awhile back. My gym is like an arcade now! Definitely a bit distracting but I like it! Had a video but it wouldn’t upload. The music adjusts to the song beat.

I noticed with the leg extension/leg curl machine I recently got was way too easy to max out the amount of plates I can do for extensions (an option of course is to go single leg, but like doing both at same time). As a result sold a couple older 45s I had left over on the marketplace and added 2 100lb deep dish plates and also added 2 45lb plates as they look so cool. Yeah I know, weight is weight, and in general I practice that, as most of my equipment is through sellers that had used, but decent condition plates or other equipment. The 100s will also be good to use for deadlifts and squats…less plates to keep shuffling around!

 

[Dirtnasty]

Love the hundreds

 

[Poppy]

I like deep dish too

 

[Shock6050]

Oddly enough they are cheaper than their standard iron plates. I’m sure that’ll change soon so if wanting deep dish at a good price may want to jump on them fast as prices are going up once again on everything, especially steel!

 

[Poppy]

Brother I’m in no need of anything extra at this point. I’m getting sorrier by the day. Hahaha

 

[Shock6050]

Still waiting on receiving my 2 pairs of 45s and 100s . Usually for almost all things I went through Rogue with they were quite fast. I suppose getting 300 lbs of weight to be delivered may be a shipping challenge! Can’t wait to get the 100s as they will greatly help getting to my working set weight much faster especially with deadlifts, squats, and my plate loaded leg extension machine!

 

[Shock6050]

Look what arrived. These are some beauties! Going to put them to use in a bit this evening.
