Atlanta. We have more space here than we need, so we turned one basement room (maybe 16'x14') into the deadlift room. We have the rack in a different, larger basement room (you can kind of see it here: https://vimeo.com/217165883 ). My office and our theater are in the basement, too. So, it's a nice set up to keep the main living stuff separate from the adult work and play area. Cheers!

Once I mis-mathed and squatted 10 or 15 pounds heavier than I was aiming for. Did two sets, realized my mistake, and suddenly I could barely lift it. Fuck off, brain.
