POWER RACK!!!!!

I've been waiting to post until I started using my power rack so I can really start to monitor my progress. This thing is FANCY. Definitely what we needed to up the anty! The power rack is great because it's a squat rack with a safety so you can use it without a spotter, and also use heavier weight. Another perk is that it has a low pulley and a high pulley, which enables us to add cable moves to our workouts. Let me tell you what, I love my dumbbells but cables really add some much needed resistance. I was surprised with how much weight I didn't use with the cables, but difficulty and challenge are what it's all about!
