Home gym probably going to be in this form for a while. Need a better adjustable bench and more plates generally.

I’m such a hungry mf I just know my appetite power level would plow right through a GLP-1.

1) Something else I think is lost in the 3pt takedown/stalling discussion: 2pt TD era had a lot of matches where ref would refuse to call stalling at the end of a match with a wrestler leading by 1pt. There is pressure to not insert themselves with such a match altering call.
