Do you put a tarp over the equipment at night?
Very true. I'll definitely lock it up in the back room once I'm gone from the gym.
The average casual lifter has no clue. I see the CrossFit wannabes trying to do Oly lifts with a Texas Power Bar. Blows my mind. Shit it actually pisses me off.
Yep , multiple tarps & WD40 (Oregon rain....)
Im so used to working out outside I dread going to the town gym , too confining . I got a Powerhouse squat rack on my back deck for squats & deadlifts...works for me .
Nice set up bro.View attachment 63469

Sounds like a great idea @franchise24
How would you stop lifters from using your equipment if your not in the gym?

He mentioned locking up the equipment .
My bars I'll lock up in the back room. The weights I'll chain the up in the storage rack.
Better have a skull and crossbones warning sign there then lol
Also etch your name into the bars and plates
Smart move
Not a dick move and actually quite common a of serious lifters who purchase their own equipment. My coach's gym has something like 30-40bars locked up that only their owners and whomever they allow use.
My plan is to eventually move them from the gym I go to, to my basement or when I get the opportunity to open my own gym.
Still wouldn't be dick if you left them there for as long as you're a member so long as the owner is cool with it. And if he wouldn't be cool with it then he's the dick lol. J/K
Yeah he's cool with it. There is a guy I lift with that keeps his Texas Squat Bar there. Our plan is to get this equipment and try to take over one the studios and just turn into just a powerlifting room/studio.
Their membership covers the gyms equipment, not yours. Definitely not dick move
I am sure many gyms only agree to hold member's equipment as a favor and aren't obliged to do that. Props to those gyms that let members store their own equipment there.

Shit I just saw this. Not sure if I skimmed over the alert or if it didn't alert me about the tags. Seems that is hit or miss.
I think I've used competition plates before. They felt a lot more dense, and they seemed to fit on the bar a lot closer together.
You know how, especially during deadlifts, the plates wiggle a bit and loosen up the collar. It doesn't make that much of a difference, but you will definitely notice it when you lift with them.
Kind of like how I see the oly bar for the first time for cleans. Damn it was so smooth.
I can't remember if you said you were just getting the plates, or if you were getting a bar too.
If you do get a bar too, I would definitely keep people from using it. The first 10 minutes of all my gym days are spent hunting down 1 of the 2 barbells that aren't fucking bent.

I wish your gym was in Los Angeles. Greatest initiative by far. Don't let the nasty swollen bulldozers and the skinny ass fitness fellas use the material.
Getting the bar too.
