Build your own gym
Sunday, July 1st, 2007Every time I visit a commercial gym, I can expect the most out-of-shape guy in there to approach me and deliver unsolicited pearls of lifting wisdom. Maybe I have a kind face. Maybe it’s because I use only the adductor machine and wear a sky blue leotard. Regardless, I work out at home now. A few readers have asked about modifications and attachments I’ve made. I refer these readers to my photo section where I’ve posted a few new pictures. My high-pulley is as smooth as any I’ve ever encountered in a commercial gym. It is built to withstand 700lbs and uses plates I already own, instead of adding an additional dedicated weight stack that I’ll have to move. I modified my cage to include a low pulley that works block-and-tackle with the first. I’ve made a host of attachments from materials found at your local home improvement store. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask. I really love turning people on this stuff, particularly chains!
