First Workout in The New Gym

You may have noticed that things have been a bit quiet on the email front. - it's with good reason.

I just moved into a new house, and we are also moving the FHS clubhouse -- a new office space opened up across the street which was too good to pass up so we are movin on up just like the Jeffersons.

No worries, essentially nothing will change as far as the ordering and contact info, including the phone number -- We have all that covered so everything will be smooth sailing.

Oh, we also just welcomed a new member to the FHS family, please welcome Chris who will be starting up next week.

Anyhow, back to my new place - so it's got something that my last apartment obviously did not have - a garage, or for me, my brand new weight room.

The house and the garage were built back in the 1920s and the garage obviously hadn't been cleaned since then so it required some work to get in usable shape. It took a while, and I'll go into that little adventure later, but finally last night it was ready to roll for the first workout.

Im still deciding exactly what I'm going to do with the space, and have some very interesting ideas on where things are going.

Last night though, I just wanted to get started -- and get started on the right foot.

Some stuff was still packed up so what I did was very simple:

1. Overhead Press
2. Curl
3. Push-press
4. Cheat Curl
5. Trap Bar Shrug
6. Super Gripper
7. Sledge Hammer Lever
8. Situps
9. Bridging

One set per exercise and taken to the limit.

I didn't waste any time, and according to my watch, this workout took exactly 17 minutes and 34 seconds, including a few stops for a drink of water.

All in all, it was a great workout, and a great one to start with.

People get caught up with exercises and techniques and complex theorems, but what often makes a workout "great" is what you put into it.

When you're mind is right, you should be able to get a great workout with any piece of equipment, anytime and any where.

I'm still in the setup phase but the new gym will end up being fantastic.
More details and even a few pics of the new gym coming soon.

Train hard,
