Maximum Strength: Working Around Equipment Limitations
Posted Aug 24 2008 4:03pm
Q: I recently ordered Maximum Strength and am really enjoying it and looking forward to building strength with the program. I did, however, have a question for you. Because of convenience to my house the location I work out at has no power rack (sad, I know). For now I need to stay training here just because of location but need some help with the Maximum Strength Program.
What alternatives could I use for the time being for the following exercises?
-RACK PULLS FROM KNEES
-DEADLIFT BAR ELEVATED
-SPEED PIN PRESS
-ANDERSON FRONT SQUATS FROM PINS
-CLOSE GRIP FLOOR PRESS
-SPEED PIN PRESS
A: Piece of cake:
-RACK PULLS FROM KNEES - elevate bar on aerobic steps
-DEADLIFT BAR ELEVATED - same (or plates)
-SPEED PIN PRESS - just a board press
-ANDERSON FRONT SQUATS FROM PINS - box squat
-CLOSE GRIP FLOOR PRESS - board press
-SPEED PIN PRESS – regular bench press (to a board, if desired)
