Post pictures of your facility, garage, etc. I'm always looking for new ideas to improve my area.

That stuff looks pretty fresh, except you painted the black bumpers. First time I've seen that. Is that a new Eleiko Bar on a squat rack?

The blocks were pretty cheap, actually; it's all 2x4 segments glued and wood-screwed except for the top which is 4x4s and leftover rubber mat.

The garage and all got a fresh cleaning recently, but I've been in it for 2 years now. The bar is actually a Chapman.

John,

I've dropped as much as 200 kilos from high pull position on it with no problems, and 140 from clean rack position. I got the "honeycomb" design from a coach here named Joaquin Chavez; his, which were similar to mine, did fine for years with a lot of reasonably heavy snatch and clean drops on them.

As long as you use good 2x4s, you should be fine.

I've never used them for jerk boxes...when my rack jerks get too heavy to reshoulder, I just drop them.
