The ring work looks impressive. Great for the back, grip and especially abs (sorry, core.) We’ve got those at the gym. Have to try the inverted rows, when no ones looking.
That’s some impressive work.
“…when no one’s looking” is another benefit of a home gym.

Congrats on the squat PR! and I tried inverted rows once…enough said
Thanks OG! It must have been those frail arms that betrayed you ![]()
I need to throw the zerchers back in the mix myself.
That looked awesome and fun!
CL, whatever you decide to buy rackwise, look for versatility.
Thanks Biker. My thoughts on the rack/cage is for the safety catches. Since I am out here in BFE, I think it would give me some reassurance and possibly allow me to push myself a little harder without fear of my 76 year old having to come dig my body out from a failed attempt. She would be pissed!
But the yoke Brute pointed out is awesome! I will have to weigh the options.

Look at this sweet baby! Momma left it in my peeps barn. So cute! It was just a tiny thing, maybe a couple of days old.
They are great for quite a bit. I like using them for push ups and leg raises. Just stabilizing yourself adds to it.
He is adorable.
In my rural life days, I had a large old barn with big doors on the back. One day a couple came hunting and wife planned to sit in the doorway, but she was greeted by 2 deer that ran past her. That was really funny. Husband, a retired marine, about a year later fell out of a nearby tree stand and if my neighbor hadn’t called the phone number on his truck (after it sat in one place overnight), the guy might have died lying on the ground. He fell 30 feet, broke a lot of bones, cell phone out of reach, and he just lay there until after phone call to family alerted them where he had gone. They had been worried sick. Seems he was taking the portable tree stand down when he fell. In hospital about a month. Tough.
Oh no! That was awful! Glad he was found and rescued!
If my sole neighbor had not noticed the guy’s truck after her two trips on our road, well who knows. I just thought he’d gone hunting, then went home and returned again. When I went to hospital to see him he was so drugged that even though we had a somewhat normal conversation, he later said he had no idea I’d gone to see him. He did not return to hunt following year.
