Not that I'm one to plant seeds but if we had the equipment then I'm sure a few guys like yourself and others could take up the opportunity to try some Olympic lifting (I'm pretty confirmed that my strongman ability is lacking lol) I'm sure I can do some pull ups and dips... But I will just be happy to be there | ||
