Not sure how much the chains and SSB add. I think 495 was super glued to the blocks. It didnāt want to move.
You have such an impressive playground.
Did you check, was someone playing a prank on you?.. Hah.
PG, weāve collected a bunch of equipment over the years. But I sometimes more isnāt better. A bar and a few weights will get the job done. And I do think someone added weight to the bar when I wasnāt looking.

A little pre exhaust for the bis and tris.
Nice set up. I never took the opportunity to train with chains, in my old gym; I should have.
That pic is pretty slick too, with the āghost in the flagā
.
Eric, in my opinion bands and chains are unnecessary. A bar and some plates get the job done. I find they help with boredom. And I didnāt realize I was in the picture until after I had downloaded it.

The ssb and box make squatting so comfortable and actually fun. Iām not sure I could do straight bar back squats without a box anymore.
Spooky. Could it be your great-greatā¦great grandfather watching you lift?
I hear you, good for a change/variety now the then.
