Ahhh yes, autumn is upon us, the nicest time of year to be in the Northeast part of the U.S. Well it would be nicer if it wasn’t the time of year that our gagger of a school tax bill showed up in the mail. The school tax on our building is so freaking steep that in order to pay for it we have to strap the place so bad from September till January and I literally have to forgo getting paid from Sept until new years, plus sometimes kick in our own personal cash just to pay it off.

It’s always disheartening to see the gym constantly full of great lifters and people who enjoy the gym, sign up new members all month and still not be able to pay our bills because of these ridiculous taxes. I try my best to make my own money outside of my gym salary through various streams of income but I’m only getting so far with that. It’s just a real shame how tough they make it to operate a small business in our country, all along the road we are on there are more and more abandoned buildings where businesses once flourished. And believe me, if I didn’t have this huge tax bill to pay or if it were even remotely manageable I would hire more people, buy more equipment, spruce up my building, all the things small businesses used to be able to do back in the old days. And everyone would win. USA! USA! USA!

So here is what I decided to do about it!

Barbell shrugs:
225x25
275x22
315x20
365x17
405x15
455x13
525x12x3

Seated Hammer shrugs:
3.5 PPS x 4 x 20

Preacher curl machine:
5 drop sets till failure

Dumbbell curls:
4 drop sets till failure

Reverse curls with 2” axle
4 light sets till failure

Fuck voting, nothing will make you feel better about excessive taxation and look like a true ‘Merican like having a huge trap and biceps pump!
