About the Gym

THIS... is the 3rd iteration of my gym, currently housed in a detached shop/garage that was formerly a horse barn that I’ve fully renovated myself. The first iteration started in 2016 when my employer offered either a paid gym membership or an allowance for purchasing equipment, the choice is obvious and I've been accumulating equipment ever since. I packed up everything and moved it all in 2017 to my new house and then again in 2025 from the garage to the shop. I originally focused on 5x5 and added in whatever else I think looks interesting with focus shifting over the years from covering the basics, to addressing physical therapy needs, and lately to streamlining workout efficiency, upgrades, and just buying stuff I thought was cool.
