Strong. how do you like working out at that gym?

I've been lucky enough to train at a lot of powerlifting gyms across the country, and this one is certainly up there. It's a warehouse gym, which typically are quite small, but this place is huge. A good amount of strongman implements, lots of bars, 3 monos, and lots of motivated lifters. Only critique would be lack of good regular squat rack (they had a few but a few ppl told me they werent very good so I went for the monos), and I'm not sure if there was a free rack or not.

1800 is still a 25lb total PR man - that's not too bad. Slow and steady bruh.
