My equipment is starting to feel the pain. My yoga mat is slowly disintegrating. I've been using it just about every day and now when I use is I get covered with little bits of rubber. Time to turf it, I think. I think this is what is causing the skin on the sole of my big toe to split every time I do Yoga or stretching. Which sucks. My set up is pretty good, with my fan, TV, dumbbells, pull up bar, crappy CD player that I bought years
ago, but it's still kind of all over the place. I would like to fix the space up a little. It definitely needs a clean. My pull up bar is starting to suck, too. I'm going to have to spend some yen to fix it up, which I might do on the weekend. There are two problems with it. Basically it's like a towel rack, but the bar turns inside the brackets. It's a pretty snug fit though. I can't get a layer of tape in through the brackets. It gets all wrapped and and ripped at the edges of them. So I want to somehow stop the bar from turning. Maybe I night try hammering some wooden wedges in between the 
bar and the brackets just to jam it in place. That might work. Second problem is a little easier. The tape I used for grip is just normal insulation tape and it sucks. If I can get the bar to stop turning, I'll definitely get some tennis racquet handle tape or something like that. But with the bar turning, I can't use any energy in a lateral direction, if you know what I mean. Everything has to be straight up or down, or the bar turns. It might be helping my form, I don't know.
