Some updates on the gym..

I've been working hard the last few weeks converting my 2 car garage into a powerlifting gym.. its coming along. I installed 3/4" Horse stall mats throughout and just finished building a 3x7.5 deadlift platform.
Still waiting on the combination bench/power rack. Once that comes in, we will be ready to roll.

I've put together some good bars:

• Texas Power Bar (For squatting and benching)
• Texas Deadlift Bar
• McDonald Camber Bar
• EliteFTS Safety-squat Bar (more on this awesome bar later...)

Some other items:

• 12" Squat Box + Mats
• 150lbs Chains
• Full set of Elite FTS Bands
• Dumbbells 7.5lbs - 110lbs
• A couple Kettlebells
• Rogue Sled
• 1000lbs+ of plates

I am working on getting a couple more bars - the EliteFTS Swiss bar (see video below) for benching/floor pressing, and a dedicated Iron Wolfe Squat Bar. Need to save up a few bucks.. not easy considering the holidays are right around the corner..


The last big piece I want to get is a commercial-quality Glute Ham Developer. This is a core item for developing a big squat and deadlift. Nothing hits the hams like a GHR.
