New home gym!

[Deeko]

Alright, I've been out of the game for awhile, but I'm back! Just got my new home gym set up and ready for action!

First workout was getting all 1612 lbs of it into the basement...

After a few hours of lifting and setup we were ready to go!

We've got....

Rogue Monster Lite squat rack
Rogue deadlift platform w/ band pegs
Rogue Monster bench
Texas Power Bar
2x Rogue loadable olympic dumbbells
Set of EliteFTS bands
3 pairs of 20 lb chains
Dip bar extension (Rogue Matador)
T-Bar row extension (Rogue Landmine)
~ 700 lbs olympic iron
~ 100 lbs bumper plates

Can't wait to put it through the paces!!

So jelly. Nice setup! Are those safety bars, too?

That's a fantastic setup! Nice cozy area to workout in also. Very nice.

Thanks! The rack has standard safety pins, yes, useful for both squat and bench.

First week of workouts in...going to have to adapt a bit, especially when it comes to assistance work, but I think it will be just fine. Also, its very clear that I haven't lifted in 2+ months. Meager 405 deadlift....got some work to do on that platform if I'm headed back to nationals in October!

Do you have a coach and/or do you do your own programming?

 

[Deeko]

I worked with a coach for about 4 years from 09-13. Since moving away from there I do my own programming, but I gleaned a good amount about what to do from him in that timeframe. The owner of my most recent gym I just left also put out a great book on strength training that I read last year, https://www.amazon.com/Sport-Strength-Method-Steve-Pulcinella/dp/1479160113 which had a number of good tips I've incorporated as well.
