Woah!!!!!!! What a great gym! How did you make that kettlebell, if you dont mind me asking? Hopefully I'll be able to build my own dream gym someday.

Still running behind; KB swings/situp throws today. 70#, 26:03. Kelly how did you do this one so fast? I'm truly in awe. Great work to all you speedy ones.

It's funny how everybody is mesmorized by the dream gym; including myself of course.

Thanks for the complements. Home away from home.

The wood training plates are made of two layers of 5/8” ply, bolted and glued with pipe insulation on the ends. I use them for training the first pull. They are surprisingly tough.

The kelltebell handle was bought from Rick Couture at this site: http://members.shaw.ca/rickcouture/kb1.htm. He posted here this past summer under the equipment forum. I think it is the next best thing to a real kettlebell.

Not a day off, but I look forward to the next rest day. Today 33 set of 3 deck pullups in 33 minutes, I was also adding sets of 8 pushups for the the first 15 or so sets and then I realized this was supposed to be a recovery day so I eased up and just finished strong on the the pulls. Deck pullups fry my grip because I can't wrap my hands around anything. We will see what tomorrow has in store!

Heh nice. Maybe I'll grab a pic of my own home gym and send it in.

Wow, that's so cool! What a great gym! I love seeing home gyms like these, ...very inspirational!

Gunnar,

Your gym rocks! Now this is a CrossFit style gym. One day I'll have a place with a gym just like this......for now I have CrossFit's facility to train at, and I count that as a blessing in my life.

You're awsome dude, keep it up!
