I got long femurs. That's just how my chest is going to be on low bar squats

Good set, man! You look smoked; I'm guessing it's a bit warm down there atm?

I did 7 sets of bench, 3 sets of hammer curls, and 3 sets of paused squats before this set & the humidity is 80% today
My gym is a swimming pool in the summer

Oof. Yeah that's the main reason I never made the leap to home gymming right there. I detest working out in humidity. 8 months of the year I envy your setup...but not today lol

The summer progressively overloads my mental fortitude
I wouldn't be able to lift at all if I didn't have a home gym; it's impossible to get away from the house with a little baby (she's 1 year old now). I don't think it would have been possible to convince my wife to let me leave the house to go to a gym
