Nice work. I've been enjoying your channel. I've been getting back into highland games after a ten year hiatus, won a C level comp and then went off to do other things and now I'm back and plan on some B level comps. My training routine is similar, nice to know I'm on the right track. I'm a wildland firefighter out west so I'm planning on a couple fall/winter games after my busy time is over. Really appreciate your technique videos as I live in the middle of nowhere. Thanks.
Question: I’m thinking of building a home gym. Besides the obvious things (rack, BB, DB, ect.), what are 5ish pieces of equipment you find translates to the HGs well.
Hmmm Well first would be having the throwing implements! So if I would do a home gym, a glute ham raise/reverse hyper combo would be near the top of my list. A trap bar (prob one of the new open versions) would be on that list, a landmine setup (maybe attached to a rack for space save and price save), a velocity measuring device (open barbell, tendo unit, vitruve) to measure bar speed, I love my jerk blocks but that's a lot of space so maybe a box squat box too (and/or drop pads if you know how to oly lift), and definitely an assortment of BANDS! You can get super creative with bands to give you exercise variety.
@@StrengthEmpireGym Thank you so much for the reply. One thing I did once for the velocity measuring was buy a wrist holder for my phone and used the phone’s potentiometer to measure my speed. It worked decent except all I got was raw data. I had to sit down and render it into something useful. Too time consuming. Possible app potential. Thanks again for your suggestions. They will help guide me.
