Garage gyms

I called Yorkbarbell a couple years a go and asked how much weight there YORK® 1" Straight Bars could handle, the customer service guy was a old timer and he told me had personally used them with over 500 pounds on the bar. He said in Canada 80% of the people use the 1" bar while in the
states 80% of the people use the Olympic Bar.

Sure, you can do that till one fails. They aren't the same quality of steel as any Olympic bar, with the exception of the Ivanko standard bar. That isn't an opinion, it's simple steel specs.

This guys doing just fine without a garage gym, I bet you he picked up his weight set at a yard sale for less than $100.

He doesn't know how to squat. But das cool

Or finish a damn chin-up. At least the squats occurred, even if they were ugly. Claiming that he did a +75 lbs chin-up is just straight up lying.

Didn't even watch the chin vid.

I'm mostly concerned about the kid's inevitable disc herniation.

disc herniation.

Builds character. As does squatting exercise bars & plates off the dining room furniture, I suppose. Strength and Physical capability are better built with proper equipment, but I'm a power rack (or at least squat stands) and "olympic" barbell snob, I guess.

I'm a "commercial or bust" snob, so there's that. But G1981C takes the cake for equipment snobbery. Where has our favorite baby dinosaur egg eating troll been lately?

I must admit, when I was researching weightlifting bars, I reached out to G for input on his Eleiko Sport Training Bar. He was really helpful and kind (invited me over to try the bar out). I felt bad for past shit I'd given him.

He has to know at some level that he is a bit off his rocker. You can be looney and kind, they aren't mutually exclusive. He does have good taste in equipment though, no doubt.
