3/27-28- Off, New equipment

No workouts for two days, but maybe for the best reason there is. I got a new power rack with high/low pulley set up in excellent used condition locally on Craigslist. Pretty happy about that. I'll post more about my home gym at some point, but for now I spent two days clearing out the old bench I had, reorganizing the space and setting up the new equipment. Now- to put it to use!
