Let’s be clear about what this gym is and isn’t. This isn’t Planet Phitness. Davis Gym is a storefront gym with a Rogue Monster-lite squat rack, 5 olympic barbells, bumper plates, kettel bells, an adjustable bench, a rack of dumbells, and a bunch of plyo gear. That’s it. Deads are kind of iffy in a 100+ year old building … I’d put a platform in, even in the limited space a 4×8′ deadlift platform would go a long way to reducing the impact of a loaded bar on the floor … Also, given the solitary nature of working out here, spotter bars would not be a terrible idea.
