Corey knocked out Grace and Emily got done with a wire brush in the morning. She motored right through and with a lot more weight than last time she did it. The star of the day was Stuart and his 1:45 Grace which is 8 seconds slower than his previous best is still the best of all of us by far.
Alex did some band runs with Brandon after Grace and Lance, Jeff and I did 5 rounds of Got Grip which is 5 pullups, 5 push press with 95 and 5 fat bar deadlifts with 195.
I've got the platform laid out and the mats cut to fit, the logo is on and I have 3 coats of polyurathane down so far. I have to sand it down between coats and put down a total of about 8 coats or so to get the protection and the look that I want. The photo with the logo sticker in place is the latest one. Once I have the finish finished I'll drywall screw the mats into place. After that I will screw on some 3" black painted trim and the masterpiece will be complete...well, except for the rack. I got a nice squat rack with wall braces from my SWAT buddy Tom and I have to bolt that onto the platform and wall, then it will be complete. You can buy a manufactured 8 x 8 platform for from around a grand to over two...or you can buy about $120 worth of materials and make an 8 x 10 platform for yourself.
It is truly amazing what a Berner will put up with.
