Yeah, I do need to keep track - I'll look for an App to help. I know I take 45g of "Naked Whey" a day but don't want to rely on supplements any more than this.

I have lifters straps but my bar is only 1" (25mm) and still leaves the weight hanging on the shortest fingers more than in the grip. Better bars are bigger and some even have rotating handles with...

Well... I'm stuck with weights (non-aerobic, indoors) as the smoky air quality from the NorCal fires is pretty awful here. Wearing a mask as I type this [still, blessed I'm not impacted further.] We...
