In July of 2025, my wife gave birth to our beautiful daughter. 9 months before that, I realized that getting to a gym was about to become a whole lot harder. This is the origin of my home gym. I am a rock climber, so the climbing wall is in the gym, and most of the rest of my training involves grip work. I just want to be a strong dad with a firm handshake

Ive had mine for a little over a year and have no complaints about it. They lock the weights down and make it solid and safe whenever I am in need of some clips. not much more to say other than that!

what can I say except its a rogue loading pin. Rogue is always solid but pricey in comparison to others. Rogue is always solid and built well. Its exactly how id describe this loading pin. Its great if you need a loading pin and that's all I have to say about that

the OG heavy bag featured in the 2012 Worlds strongest man! loadable up to 400 lbs. Here's the problem though, its 2026. Companies like rogue and Cerberus have created new and better bags that perform much better. I have a 185 and 250 that I still use to this day, but unlike the rogue and Cerberus ones that I have, these bags leak sand. Makes a bit of a mess and I don't like the look of tying them off. They also are much more floppy than other sandbags which is a different challenge but not what I'm looking for

I can't hub a 35 lb plate yet but I can hit 35 lbs with this hub. A classic implement that is always useful and is a fun piece to setup and challenge yourself with. Just make sure to warm up heavily as you use this!

Since the beginning of gyms, there has only been one question on anyone minds: how can I get my hands on some Extremely Durable, ultra-tough 3/4" vulcanized recycled rubber for exceptional strength and long-lasting performance. Well the answer clearly is tractor supply. Are they stinky? of course they are. Is there a better way to floor your gym? yeah probably, but there's not a cheaper way to do it! No regrets on using horse stall matts for my flooring. If you look at the pic below, I had to cut mine because my wife was adamant that we needed to still be able to use the front door after the flooring went down.
