Have no fear though folks. We are trying to get on top of this deep muddy swampy situation and share some psyche and positivity.
Training walls, hang boards and home gyms are being installed all across the world! There’s some kick ass setups people have done. From unique uses of space, architectural masterpieces and barebones no frills strong boards, thousands of people have been gluing and screwing wood together to keep sanity and atrophy at bay. Many people have taken this opportunity to set themselves up with some really great training areas.
Have you got yourself a training setup at home? Are you planning on making something? Show us what you’ve built to keep motivated in this crazy time and we’ll share them right here on the website. Share your beta and help inspires others to keep psyched! Your set up doesn’t need to be wiz bang schmick. Simple, unique, rustic, use of space, colour scheme. Your setup may be the one that inspires someone else. We will send out prizes to our favourite entries! Comp ends at the end of April!
