Outdoor Gym

March 2017 - You know how sometimes you want to enjoy the fresh air but don’t want to skip leg day? You know how sometimes you want to build something that’ll help you work out but don’t actually want to work out? Time to make an outdoor lifting platform, squat rack, and pullup bar.

 Early March. Spring is here. Time to mess up the yard.

 Assist from Aimee digging these post holes. Not trying to have this come crashing down in the middle of pull ups, so the posts need to be deep.
