Question for you Strong Mofos

[franchise24]

Those of you who have competed. Is there a noticeable difference between an eleiko Powerlifting comp bar vs a Texas Squat bar? Out side the fact that the squat bar is a foot longer and 30mm diameter compared to 29mm diameter?

I've squared with both, I don't feel a difference. The Eleiko is rated stronger at 215,000 PSI. Texas Squat Bar 186,000 PSI.

SN: the eleiko bar is solid as shit. Stiff and feels great in my hands when benching.

I have a texas squat bar and thought nothing could be better but I've used the eleiko and want one now. The tsb is still straight as an arrow even after all the heavy ass abuse and drops ive put it through. Something about the grip and feel of the elekio though is just awesome.

I'm in love with Eleiko bro. I plan on getting a set of calibrated plates from Eleiko. Over 1000lbs with another Eleiko Comp bar.

Going to put a nice little gym in my basement. Just debating between a monolift or power rack for the home gym.

Power rack that can be dead bolted to the wall or floor i would imagine is ideal for a badass home set up.

Rouge has a badass monolift too though.

I saw the monolift that rogue has. I have enough room for a rack platform and two benches.

That is badass.
I plan to get my platform from rogue. I need to get some flooring as well.

I've been thinking about renting out a good size warehouse space and turning it into a serious hardcore lifting gym. There is just an absence of that in my area and it would be awesome to bring that here. Shit I'd host powerlifting events and everything there.

Shit I'd probably incorporate meso into the name lol

Power rack(s) over monolift for home use. Way more uses which you will want if your space is somewhat limited in home gym. I have two power racks in my home gym.

Go for it bro. That's my plan as well. My area is filled with CrossFit gyms. But there is one affluent county that doesn't have many gyms that I can tap into.

I also have a few real estate agents in the family. They can check the demographics of the area to help me get a good location. I know it's a no no. But fuck it. Any advantage I can use. I just look at like AAS. It will enhance my chances of being successful. Like AAS enhanced our bodies. Lol.

I actually know a guy who did just that in Colorado. It is a lot of work but he has turned it into a full time business.

Shit your Golden. I wanted do just like you and hold Powerlifting meets. I want to get my gym to be a USPA Training Center. The website will tell you what you need to be a training center. That brings in some good names.

Thats my plan man i want something exactly like that. The appeal it has for PLs, strongmen, and bodybuilders would be immense and right now florida is like a bodybuilding mecca.

Exactly what i want to do bro. There is so many big events hosted here and there are big names here all year around. If i can attract that crowd here and give it that serious "this is where the real lifters go" vibe it will be huge.
