Good Day All Around

I'm very pleased with today's results! After a rather lousy workout five days ago, I'm up across the board, increasing by three reps on four sets.

Meanwhile, I looked at a weight cage this week. Found it on Amazon for $250, which is far lower than anything else I've come across. Still, the shipping was going to be another $100, so I am still hesitating. Fred Hahn suggested I try doing "hip squats" using a weight belt. It looks rather awkward to me, but a belt is also far less expensive ($50 tops), so it is probably worth a try. And I think I might also be able to work out how to use it for dips. (Belts are well-known for use with vertical dips on dip bars, but we are still using the incline on the TG, so it still could be a little awkward.)

I'm encouraged by today's workout. Let's see if the new year can bring some new records!
