No Tim. I didn't get a chance to watch it. They said the place was really noisy.
Never paid too much attention to BBall (ex wrestling coach) until we came down here. TV stations always showing ACC action and games.

Also don't forget the old hamstrings.

I do them ona Smith Machine. Easier to keep your knees behind your toes that way, plus you can lock the bar down at any time. I don't go past 90 degrees.

Never tried doing them on a smith machine. I can see how it would make it easier to keep the back straight with one.

Bench your body weight is a good goal to set. I am currently at 220# and kinda stuck there. Probably need to move to incline press for awhile to get over the plateau.

What gym did you leave and go to?

I left Planet Fitness and moved to a local gym. It's more expensive, but less crowded, and the equipment is better. Less traffic around it, too.

Cool. Will I be able to see it buried under all of the snow though?
