For the first time in 100 years, the world shut down. We fought over toilet paper, hand sanitizer, & lysol wipes. Some had to drive to neighboring states for booze. Millions of people were relegated to bodyweight workouts. Calluses & tendon strength disappeared. It was a dark time.

Now that civilization is *kind of* open again, here’s what you need for a little home gym. You know, in case it happens again.

Rogue. I really love Rogue. They have solid equipment for a reasonable price, awesome warranties, and the best customer service in the retail industry. They also gave a big middle finger to Greg Glassman, CrossFit’s Founder & CEO, when he was a racist jerk. 

If you have all this stuff, or you want to create a more substantial fitness set-up at home, feel free to email me at [email protected]. I’d love to help you go shopping!
