The Evolution of my garage to a PL gym

[BrotherIron]

BI pack up your things into your shit box truck and get moving bro

I truly wish it was only that easy... if it was I'd already be on the road heading up north. Hell, I'd drive for 5 hours before even getting the address...

That is a legit setup. Well done, Halo.

I totally understand the painting the baby's room deal, it's a statement of the kind of good guy you are. For Mrs Halo, well she's just that wife. When we lived in Hawaii I'd be out surfing crack of dawn and someone in the lineup would eventually ask hey who is that chick on the beach video taping? I would say it's my wife, the guy said I used to have someone video but she was a girlfriend, now she's my wife LOL...

She's a trooper she's always up for supporting my madness. In the peak of my PL'ng competing she would egg me on no matter how heavy I went and how many capillaries burst in my eyes LOL... She inspires and supports me far more than I deserve and I couldn't possibly appreciate her more.

Wow Halo, that looks like quite an awesome setup!!

You mind me asking how you got your wife to do the painting??? I was usually the one in those pics painting the baby's room, etc. LOL

nice job....i have been doing a similar transformation to my garage and it is a nice change of pace to train at home vs a commercial gym

Halo, sounds like you've got a wonderful wife, and I'm glad to hear that you know and appreciate that! Well done!

Went on the psycho road trip to Pennsylvania to pick up my 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100 lb pro style dumbbells I marked them like a kid with a crayon . I also picked up a plate rack to hold my chains, two used but solid bars which I need a little help figuring out what they are, not that it really matters but just curious. I have them pictured lined up with my Texas PowerBar. The one with the thinner collar is thick and heavy but no knurling in the center, the other bar has marking in the end looks like it's rated to 2K, they both seem solid and I just wanted a couple of extra multipurpose bars to have at the gym they will serve the purpose. Also picked up a too small rack for the DBs but it serves the purpose for now better one later. Under two weeks till the Monolift arrives Christmas in September

 

[PillarofBalance]

Pretty sure the one with no knurling is an oly bar. It's got two rings. I bought the same type from rogue. You can bench with it.

 

[BrotherIron]

Yeah I would agree with PoB. If it's an Oly bar it should be very springy.

 

[Halo]

Did a few measurements on the bars

Bought New Texas Power Bar from TSS
7'2" 28.57mm diameter 4" center knurling, collar 2 5/8"

Poss Texas Bar bought used today
7'2" 28.57 mm diameter 4 3/4" center knurling, collar 2 1/8"

Unknown bought used today Blue slim collars
7'3" 33.3375 mm diameter no center knurling

 

[DLTH]
