I haven’t had access to a traditional weight room for about a month now.  While I miss pushing and pulling heavy barbells and dumbbells and can’t wait to get back to it, I’ve had some of my best training sessions in a long time in my backyard with my growing cache of homemade equipment!

I’m lucky to have a big backyard, quiet street, and a nice storage shed (which I now call The Strength Shed) to keep all of my toys.  If you don’t have a nice size backyard or live in an apartment, take your training out to the parking lot or the street in front of your house.  Don’t worry about traffic they’ll go around you!  Who cares what your neighbors think!  Most of my neighbors probably think I’m nuts but I couldn’t care less.  One of my neighbors sits out on his front porch with his morning coffee and watches me train.  I still haven’t been able to get him to join me…yet!

Don’t make excuses about not having a gym or enough room at home to train.  If you want it bad enough you’ll find a way!

STOP SABOTAGING YOUR TRAINING.

STOP MAKING EXCUSES AND GET SH*T DONE!
