First WO in the new garage gym. Right now we only have a bench and dumbbells from 5-80#'s.  We'll be adding a few bars (olympic and curl bar), a few bumper plates, steel plates, horse stall mats and possibly a rack. We definitely need a solution for pull-ups.  Holding onto the rafters is surprisingly painful on the hands.  Anyway, the workout...

We started with incline and pull-up combo.  I meant to have the incline at the lowest/flattest incline setting, and use 80#DB's, but it was set at a steeper angle from setup yesterday and I just didn't think to change the angle.  Still used 80#DB's and didn't realize until after the first set and we stuck with it.  Solid reps at a steeper angle than I've been using with heavy weights.  Pull-ups were challenging. We don't have a pull-up bar yet, so we used a ladder to grab the garage rafters.  It was hard on the hands so I just did sets of 8.  Next we increased the angle of incline as steep as it would go and did shoulder/incline for 3 sets with a back-off set. We supersetted these with DB rows, both arms at the same time. I actually liked these quite a bit. Sarah thought they felt awkward. 

Next we did curls and DB skull crushers (no bars yet) with presses. Liked these too. Burned out the triceps.  Then we did incline fly's with weighted crunches. Then band pulls with body weight crunches.  Good WO.

We had 2 fans going and opened the garage door to let in some air and light.  Really enjoyed working out in that environment.  Was nice to have the garage open to fresh air, be able to turn on our own music.  Really nice, and we didn't even have to get in the car!  I think this is going to be a GREAT setup once we get a few more pieces of equipment.

Nutrition/Weight:
I weighed 167.4 this morning. Feeling good, leaning out, still maintaining strength really well.
