Gym And Workout Equipment:
- Solid Steel Adjustable Squat Rack – I use this as a squat rack and as a bench press set up
- Concept 2 Rowing Machine – Amazing! Will probably use this same one until the day I die!
- Adjustable Weight Bench – I went adjustable verse a solid one because I use this for incline and decline bench work. It works great for all of that and rows and hips thrusts!
- LAT Pulldown Machine – This baby works for all kinds of back and arm movements. I sit on the ground for back pulls and pump up my biceps and triceps with it too! And it uses weight plates!
- Olympic Dumbbell Handles – Amazing! These are a great alterative to a set of dumbbells. You can add more weight and adjust as needed. And, it uses the same weight plates as all of my other stuff!
