Before the elitefts s1 gym there was my garage, kinda gym.
When we moved into our second house it had a garage (the first one didn’t) and wasn’t a block away from the hood. It was, however, 30 minutes away from Westside Barbell Club and it changed the nature of my extra workouts.
Instead of 10 minutes away, I had an hour of driving time to do simple stuff I needed to get done. This was getting toward the end of my competition days, and these extra sessions mattered more than the main ones, as without them I wouldn’t have been ready or able to do the main sessions.
Most start their Garage Gym with a rack, plates, bar, etc. Not me. I had a gym to train at. I just needed shit to do all my extra sessions. At this time, there were six extra sessions per week.
My home gym consisted of chest supported row, glute-ham raise, seated calf raise, ab benches, sled, a few plates, one set of 20 pound dumbbells, bands, a neck machine and boxes for unweighted box squat work and band hip abduction.
On lower-body days I hit technique work on the boxes, GHR, abs and heavy sled pulls. Upper body days I’d hit rows, various high rep shoulder raises, upper body sled and ab work.
Off days - whatever was beat up or so.
Neck work and seated calves every day.
My home gym was the extra workout place.
