    Basements are nice but when they start to leak they suck (we temporarily fixed the issue but have to save up to really truly get the crack in the foundation fixed).

    I did see a rack for $200 the other day on craigslist. I'm weary of buying anything until the hubby has a job.

    I'm jealous of the purple chucks!! (mine are blue)

    I envy you people with basements. That's not something we have in Houston.

    Nor in my part of NYC :laugh:

    So... I ended up getting quite sick and have been 'out' for the better part of a month. I had a URI, which set off my asthma, which set me up for bronchitis. It took 2 courses of antibiotics and finally steroids to get me on the mend. I'm finally getting better, but...

    I tried lifting on the 3rd and the 10th and did ok with the Wendler basic lifts (no accessories) with pretty good strength maintenance. I skied a couple times when my asthma was under better control, but otherwise have been 'down'.

    So...what would you do and how would you decide?

    Stay with Wendler and decrease the max used to calculate my weights based on how much strength I think I lost... OR
    Go back to SL for 5x5 or 3x5 to build back up on the compound lifts and get back into it?

    Just curious and am trying to decide...

    Hubby did ask me what I needed for a home gym so he can start looking around for stuff to purchase off craigslist for me! :D I think we will just use the garage as my gym because he said the space heater gets it pretty warm (our garage is really tiny. It was more meant as a storage unit than to park a car in because not even a mini cooper could fit in our garage).

    So I'm asking you ladies that have home gyms what do you have and where did you find it all?
