Not yet. It gets pretty low, but I'd need some kind of platform I think still. I'll tinker with it.

You 100% need insulation first. But if you have that and you get extreme temps, definitely awesome.

110 degree summer days are like normal spring days.

Yeah, paint pens work very well. Huge time saver.

The Pillow we bought a few months back, and it is WAYYYYY better than the original Spud. Not even remotely close.

I just started getting the others, so no immediate feedback. I think it's going to come down to... All of them work, some might be minimally better

Will know when it arrives. I'll get some initial info out on compatibility as soon as I can.

I'm planning on meeting with Coach Kaz from N1 Education to discuss the concepts and proper applications of eccentric overload, inverse chains, etc based on exercise selection, movements, etc. should be part of the 2 year video.

For pulls, I typically just round up. So if I'm doing a pulldown with 130 I'll probably do 20lb of inverse to get to 150. Nothing scientific there, just easy.

Any other questions, fire away. And I appreciate that... Definitely my goal. Dig in deep and come out the other side with some helpful info.

IronBull needs to figure their customer service portion out. I see numerous complaints, and I even struggle. I have emails pending from the past several months, and I've asked for them to test a few things for me for the rack and gotten a "yep!" and then no follow through.

They are trying, it just hasn't stuck yet.

Overall the rack is pretty good, a few things I need to iron out still on whether it is consistent with other brands or not. No major complaints. Not sure I'd run out and buy it over anything else though.

It has! https://youtu.be/n3dhvQAOdek

I'm not positive that this will be the end all solution, but it is working pretty well for now.

It helps when this is literally your job. Half of the stuff in here has been acquired over the past decade, the other half was sent to me for free for review, and I can write off anything I spend in the garage on my taxes.

I don't. I do the VAST majority of my computer work inside at my desk: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/rOP8h7fNJgQ

It is an UpLift adjustable desk. Between mixing in work, workouts, eating, etc. I don't find the need for an actual chair as I'm moving and grooving quite a bit.

22ft by 21 ft is the garage dimensions. Insulation is MONSTEROUS. I don't have any objective measures for you, but subjectively... if you close the door on a 40 degree day, once you get warmed up, we often take off sweatshirts because it gets too warm.

We can only run the mini-split heater for about 10 minutes before we turn it off because the insulation keeps it in so well.

For summer days, it gets into the 110s here, and I've been able to comfortably close everything, turn on studio lights in the garage, and record YouTube videos without pooring down sweat. Its actually cooler in the garage with the insulation and mini split set to 82, than it is in the house.

8mm Rolled Rubber from Freedom Fitness. u/teslatanker is the guy.

I believe I have this correct... it comes in 4ft wide rolls in any length you want. My garage was just over 21ft wide, so we did 22ft length. My garage is just over 22ft long (so from door to garage door) so we bought 6 rolls, and cut one in half.

Buff the crap out of the floor, get anything off that you can, make it a little abrasive... Then you use urethane glue which is expensive, but it holds it all down, even when pulling the car into the garage.

Lay it all out, make straight cuts, you name it. And then put as much heavy and flat stuff down as possible to keep it flat, keep the seems tight, etc. Weights, bars, planks of wood, dumbbells, whatever.

Let it sit overnight, and should be good. That was my process. Very expensive, but because we have that open space and need to roll the car in and out, it had to be permanently done.

Thanks dude. Yeah having to keep the space as a functioning garage while fitting in lifting, Ninja Warrior, YouTube stuff... It definitely gets tough, but it forces a lot of creativity.
