I recently moved to the area and a few friends and I have put together a garage gym.
We are looking for powerlifters and strength athletes in the Rochester, NY area… Our garage gym is located in Sea Breeze area of Rochester and is transforming into a full on strength facility.
We have recently added a full Westside Barbell R3 power rack with band pegs (bolted to floor), Glute Ham Raise, Modified 45* Hyper (for wide stance), EFS Yoke/SS Bar, Jesup 1500lb power bar, tons of bands, chains, DB’s up to 130.lbs, sleds, real lat pulldown with tons of attachments, row machine, boards, squat and DL boxes, rubber+plywood floor, and more.
If you are interested please PM me here. Just looking to get some true training sessions in!
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YES! I don’t live in Rochester anymore, but I lived on Culver Road, a few miles south of Seabreeze. Hope that shit works out for you guys.

Wow man… I am off of Seneca Rd. We ‘were’ practically neighbors…
Just looking to smash some weight and revolt against the typical gym scene! haha
Good luck with this. Having your own garage gym is great, but getting (reliable) training partners to come seems to require a miracle. Everyone complains about their gym, but when it comes time to man up and take someone’s offer of hospitality…nada.

I am realizing this. Really missing my partners from college now!
I am remaining patient, and hopefully something will turn out.

Damn. I live about 60 min south of you but work in Gates (old Kodak Elmgrove area). Sounds like you have a killer setup. [/quote]
That would be a hell of a cruise but if you are ever around, feel free to stop in. I began my strength phase today, and two of the guys started their conditioning phases.
sorry I bailed on you. I’m training at RIT though, figured it was a bit shorter of a drive. Recently found out it’s about the same though when I went to visit one of my friends that just moved into that area. oh well. Were you planning on doing the IPA meet in Aug?
What time/day’s have you guys been train?

haha No need to apologize.
We have done a ton of upgrades in the last few weeks. It is truly working out well, just need a few actual powerlifters…
We do not have set days as we all have different things going on. I typically do 2 days on, 1 day off.

A quick update… Still looking to add some people.
Added a prowler, and in the next week we will have a rack mounted monolift and reverse hyper ready to rock.
