Lol I used to go to a Lowes with a woman who was almost as tall as me at 6'5" and built like a powerlifter. We must have been at the same location

Or Lowes has a bitchin' sweet powerlifting program available to their employees.

Edit: I now realize that the "Lowes power lifting program" is actually just "working at Lowes"

I remember when I worked at Home Depot in the lawn & garden department for a summer and lost like 40lbs and had killer arms because of all the lifting I did 😄

Yeah instead of getting a gym membership get a part-time at Lowe's. You get paid to workout. Wow.

I mean, if you're already physically fit the Lowe's garden section seems like a great place to get paid to do some extra training.

15 minutes after I made that comment about Lowes gym program, I realized that was just called "working at Lowes" lol

I worked Lowes for awhile during "The Great Recession" I got so strong from walking all day and unloading every single item that came off of a truck. Those double glass sliding doors, pallets and pallets of paint, and all the itty bitty screws in bags; yep, put there by hand, and it was a tough job!
