September 2023 Home Gym of the Month

The winner for September 2023 is Bryan Hong from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

I really like being able to just go downstairs and start my workout, without all the commute and parking. With young children, it is also nice to be home and available if I am needed in a pinch.

Just for myself, I am focused on building muscles, but I am now also thinking about keeping fit for longevity and stamina to keep up with my kids as they grow.

Push, Pull, Legs.

I typically try to get 2 sessions of each per week: one being a full hypertrophy-style weightlifting session, whereas the second is a bit of hypertrophy followed by some circuit-styled cardio utilizing movements from the specified muscle group. I gotta get my cardio in and this method keeps me engaged and interested enough to actually do it.

The Berserker press, Arch nemesis bar, Utility rack, two cable pulley towers, and a whole bunch of attachments: Y Dip, Lever Arms, Pro-Style Lat Bar Cable Attachment, Spotter Arms, tricep ropes, and Double Hook Straight Bar.

I really need storage implements for my bars and attachments…but what I WANT is more attachments! Looking at you, Seal Row Pad!

Splitting up training volume into multiple, shorter sessions throughout the week. Training most days of the week gives me a routine and makes it a habit, while shorter sessions make it easier to go and actually start training as I will never be staring down and dreading a 2 hour heavy leg day.
