Confession time

I have to admit, I've had a HELL of a time getting my leg exercises in in the last few days. Not because I can't or don't want to do them, it's just that they require special apparatus. I still haven't figured out a good solution to my "Pistol Squat Problem", or what the hell to hold onto while I do the damn things. Couch arm - too tall. Chair seat - too low. Chair back - too tall. Dining table - too tall. Ottoman - too low.
Get the picture? I mean, I own a furniture store, fer Chrissakes, you'd think I'd be able to come up with SOMETHING? Even at the gym, the only thing I could fingure to use was a moveable pull-up bar, but it spins around when you lean on it! So...any suggestions?

Apart from my workout (the rest of which I did), my day was entirely consumed with people handing me resumes. I had probably 50 people drop them off today in person, and got another 80 or so via email. All this for a $10/hr, 20-hr/wk position!

  1. Step One, eliminate the unlucky: throw half of the resumes away without looking at them.

    Could you use a book case? One shelf or another might be at the right height.

  2. It doesn't really matter how high your support is, try to use it as little as possible. If you don't have the leg power to make it all the way up, then simply don't go as deep into the squat. This way you'll get stronger incrementally by going down a bit deeper every week. Does that make sense?
