Hello! I'm Frank: husband, father, educator, and most importantly, home gym enthusiast. I'm currently in graduate school to obtain my principal certification. I've been doing some form of lifting (mostly powerlifting) for the past 15 years in commercial gyms, but I now have the space to build a basement home gym. Outside of lifting, I enjoy photography, reading, playing video games, and hiking.

The rigorous coursework and certification process paid off in spades. I can truly say I’m a better man now that I have a certified training facility. Time to get strong in The Dungeon!

There’s a time and place to be a serious goose, but it ain’t here.

This was a great addition to my gym. I have had some back issues in the past, so I like to use this as a an alternative to a 3rd squat day every week. It’s a nice way to isolate the legs and take my back completely out of the equation. It can get a little wobbly with higher weights and one of the holes to attach the kickstand (which I’d argue is an essential addition) was misaligned, so I knocked a star for performance and build quality. It was easy to assemble and significantly cheaper than other belt squat options. Highly recommend this piece to anyone looking for a squat accessory/alternative.
