my god, if you drop that deadlift it will probably go right through the floor. hahahaha, that in and of itself would be enough to make me want to hold on. :p

My wife's been begging me to finish the basement since we moved into our house 2 years ago so the kids would have a play room. Imagine her surprise when I turned it into a strongman gym instead. She's come to accept it as long as nothing makes it's way up the stairs. She even made me stop bringing my farmers walk handles to bed-lol. Now if I can just get her to agree to a Tire in the back yard.........

Thanks everyone. I have been working out hard, getting ready for the Summer Strongman season. Sometimes You have to improvise, if that means doing farmer deads in the house, so be it, lol.

That's awesome Dane. I regularly do cleans and deads in my living room. And keg press. If I had a tire, I'm sure that would be in there too.

And just in case there were any doubts, I'm not married.

Not inside my apartment, but I have inside my fish house. That didn't work out quite as well as I had planned, but it was way too windy to do it out on the ice. I was hungry and had no other options. I ended up eating the hot dogs raw.

I used to light bottle rockets in my apartment in college, too.

do you own a goat and does it ride on your motorcycle with you? :D

No, motorcycles are dangerous. I don't have a goat, but in the tradition of Milo, I might have to get me a goat and lift it every day. Then I'll be super strong.

And my landlord might appreciate it if I had a goat. At least he wouldn't have to mow the lawn every week. I'll have to look into that.

Get a lamb instead, that's what I got. They really do the trick as far as lawn maintenance.

Dane, hurry up and graduate so you can come out here and we can put some real weight on you! You won't have a cozy living room to lift in, but I'm sure you'll have a good time in the heat.

Hey believe me, I'm as ready to graduate as anyone. I have 3 really easy classes this semester, and one incredibly hard one, Advanced Composition. Anyone who reads my posts knows that grammer isn't exactly my strong point.

That's right, so if you can't stay in school at least go to work for the geovernment, or better yet contract your services (i.e. specialized skills) to the government;)
