Most of the programs we do use only a barbell, power rack and maybe some machines.
What I’m wondering is what everyone’s ideal program would be given access to anything: sleds, tires, logs, the big torpedo looking weights for farmers walks etc.
How would you incorporate say, sled drags into your leg day?
Hard decision. I’d probably keep it simple. A boxing arena for cardio with maybe a sprint bike. Regular DBs, BBs and the good 'ole power rack.
Maybe a tyre and sledge hammer, some kettle balls for when I play around with some Tabata training while cutting.
Nothing too fancy. Get in, do the deed, get out. The way I enjoy it.
Depends on your goal and respective strength sport.
I’m an olympic weightlifter so I don’t really use anything other than bumpers, barbells and a rack.
I would find no real use for sleds or tires, unless conditioning is a really big issue.
People who do sled drags don’t usually have “leg days”.Most athletes don’t have bodypart splits.

That’s good, because then you can sell all the unwanted equipment!
I’ve used only a barbell, a rack and a bench for the past 2 years, and it feels ultimate enough to me already :]

Access to anything? I want a coach that lives in my basement.
Good training partners (the most important thing)
A monolift
A heavy duty squat bar
A Forza bench
Texas power bar
Deadlift bar
Power rack
300 lbs of chain weight
Various size bands
Glute ham bench
Heavy duty wide plate leg press
VArious dumbbells and kettlebells
5-300 pound dbs.
over a grand of oly plates
ssb
every hammer machine in existance
GHR
reverse hyper

full efts band set
full chain set
multiple specialty bars
car deadlift machine

All you really need in my opinion is a power rack, a squat rack, a bench, an olympic weightlifting platform, bumper plates, heavy dumbbells, blocks, the “prowler”, tires, sleds, chains, bands, weight releasers, “Pumping Iron” DVD, “Supertraining” by Mel Siff, a membership at “Curves”, a yoga matt, a live bunny rabbit for lunch, and a package filled with bondage DVDs…
lol, in all seriousness, the first five are extremely useful.

I want Louie Simmons and Ivan Abadjiev as slaves. If they can’t answer my questions, I’d make them watch “yogalates” over and over again until they reveal their God damn secrets to the public.
