About Exercise and COPD Part 3c - Building The Home Gym
In the last column of this series on building a home gym, I talked about some strategies you can use to outfit your own home with some professional grade strength tools that can help you reach you fitness goals. We discussed calesthenics, bands and cables, Ironmaster etc.
At the end of my last column, we came to the realization that some people might be looking to raise the bar a bit in terms of their home gym. Maybe they really want to build a home gym that is even better than their commercial gym up the street. In reality, this is much easy than you would think, but you are looking at spending $2000.00 and up. However, when it

Contrary to popular belief, one does not need row after row of selectorized weight machines in order to have a world class strength training room in their own home. Sure, it would be nice, but even if you had the money and the space, I see no need in going that direction. Clearly, you do need some specifically targeted tools that allow you to perform a myriad of exercises safely and I am going to offer some great suggestions that can give you a lifetime

The first thing I would like to strongly recommend is that you consider buying a Power Rack.
Next, permit me to list a few links to some very good companies that specialize in, among other things, world class power racks: [http://power-lift.com/product_details.php?product_id=10 ]Power-Lift [http://www.flexcart.com/members/elitefts/default.asp?m=PD&cid=114&pid=715 ]EliteFTS [http://www6.mailordercentral.com/ironmind/products.asp?dept=16 ]Ironmind
Now I list these three companies in no order of importance, nor could I if I were asked to. The reason for that is because all three are superb, and each company has a distinct set of advantages and applications. For now, I would suggest you check out each site thoroughly. Comb through the pages of their stores and familiarize yourself with the tools

Power-Lift is world reknown for outfitting some of the most advanced strength training facilities in the world. Countless professional sports teams, colleges and even some high schools with deep pockets have used Power-Lift as their sole source for supplying their inventory needs. I know the people at Power-Lift and they are good people who offer tremendous customer support. And their power racks are simply unequalled.
The University of Virginia chose Power-Lift when outfitting the Frank McCue Center and I got the grand tour several weeks ago. I had the chance to get a hands on feel for Power-Lift tools and let me just say they are tops. Two other things that Power-Lift carries are Eusaka Barbell sets and

EliteFTS is another favorite of mine. I like EliteFTS because of the variety of tools they offer. You won’t just find weightlifting equipment there, but you will find belts, harnesses, grip tools and more at EliteFTS. In addition to designing and manufacturing their own tools, such as their power racks, EliteFTS is a dealer for several world class outfits (such as the Westside Barbell line of products).
As you browse their store, you will notice that EliteFTS sells a huge variety of things so take your time.
Finally, there is Ironmind. What can I say about Ironmind. Well, not enough, let’s put it that

Ironmind makes nearly all of their equipment, and their equipment is used by both men and women, some of whom are literally the strongest people on planet earth. I personally use their Vulcan Racks, Pillars of Power Safety Racks, Dipping Racks, Squat Belt, Neck

Assuming you have visited the above sites, you are no doubt beginning to get a feel for what a power rack/station is and does. Make no mistake about it, the power racks offered by the above companies are not the sort you will find at your local sporting goods store. These are professional grade tools. They will not buckle, bend or break. Your house could literally fall down around these racks

Am I recommending tools that are stronger and safer than you will ever need them to be? Yep. Is that the right thing to do? Yep. I am ever going to suggest something that isn’t overkill? Nope. Especially when it comes to your safety. I will always suggest tools that are the strongest tools money can buy. Period. If you want to get some inexpensive, flimsy bench/rack combo located next to the fishing/hunting department at your local sports store, then that is your choice. But I

OK, that about wraps it up for our home gym series. Our next series of columns will deal with strength training programs using some of the home gym concepts we have talked about this past week.
Good Bless
