Lol. Yes. It was monster lite and I didn’t want it in my 4 post 1” hardware rack. For PCSing I took the pad off and used a light cargo strap to keep the swing arm from clunking me while I moved it around. It really wasn’t too bad. Take the pad off before you remove from the rack though. It makes it way easier to handle.

I’m a bit of a junkie and a competitive strongman. Some bars like my axle are for competition prep, others like my wife’s bar are just because she wanted one that was less aggressive.

How’s that platform holding up? I watched your leveling video and really like how you did it compared to the plywood method. Does it still feel solid?
@TheKurtlocker2 жыл бұрын
It still feels great. I will say that I likely would have benefitted from an additional layer of plywood on the top because some of the thinner corners were kind of “squishy” feeling, but once the rack was bolted through the platform and into the concrete that went away. For a sloped floor I think it’s the way to go. Just add one more later at the end.

Normally I try not to engage with negative comments but I’ll humor you. Do I have a lot of barbells, yes. I absolutely do. Do I use all of them every week no, but I don’t feel the need to. Collecting barbells is something that I enjoy doing and will continue to do and make content on so that people can make good choices when they’re in a position where they can only afford one or a few. Does my rack and storage unit cost more than the average set? Absolutely. They’re the first of their kind from Surplus Strength and I was honored to support that veteran owned business and look forward to seeing that business grow. Do strongman implements that are made by Americans out of American steel cost more? You bet! However I’m the son of an American fabricator and I will continue to buy quality strongman implements from people like Mike Bartos and Texas Power Concepts that have the work ethic and attention to detail that I value. Did my leveled platform cost a lot more than just buying stall mats, unfortunately yes. Especially at the time lumber prices were high but I also know and understand the disadvantages of training on an unlevel surface. Do I win unique training pieces like my Triad hand weights? Yes, and they’re expensive but I can tell you that I don’t feel the need to buy a set of dumbbells. Do I own a lot of Kabuki products to include more weight than I can currently lift? Yes. But who says that I’m the only one that uses this space. Please keep in mind that when you assume, it makes and ass out of u and me. This is why I think you’re likely just a hater and why I tend to avoid these comments. We are all now dumber for your comment I award you zero points May god have mercy on your soul.
