    Snow chains!!! FTMFW!!!

    God I hope this has not been done/posted before.

    So, yesterday I was wondering around my parents yard looking for something to tie weights to my fat ass for dips/chins. AH HA!! I found it under some weeds in the south 40....I unraveled it, and what do I see? SNOW CHAINS! hahaha...from my dads bad ass 1982 Mazda B2000 truck. And let me tell you, that thing works like a charm...it fits me well... and has a looooot of room for me to "grow into" (meaning lots and lots of attachment options/points for hanging weights). I will post pics later if I can get some one to snap some shots of it.
    edit: pics posted down below!

    yeah I think he wrote oughtta (ought to) instead of outta (out of).

    ie: He prolly oughtta spell check his stuff before we bug the crap outta him about it.


    Looking forward to seeing the snowchain pics

    Nope thats the platform he puts the big block engine (out of frame) on when he's practicing for strongman.

    looking good man. You're not fat, lol. Anyone dipping greater than bodyweight is on the right track. The snow chain rocks.

    As you are looking at the pic, the far left item is a stainless steel sink, similar to what youd find at a restaurant. The other item is a smoker...we use it for smoking turkey and ribsssss!
