*today I trained with DB, since I'm in Texas and most globo gyms don't have KB, I had to improvised a little. The pistol felt good since I was not using any platforms at all; it was really interesting gym, there must have been about hundreds and hundreds of machinery for every isolated muscle and very little free weight. I was looked upon like a maniac as I warmed up with the DB swings, and again with the pistol and the one arm dumbbell press, the guy on the fly machine looked perplexed at the complexity of the movement like I was doing a circus act.
