Build a BADASS DIY Cable Pulley System for $100
Are you looking to add versatility to both your workouts and your home gym space? Have you been wanting to add a pulley system but don’t have a compatible rack, budget, or space for the majority available on the market today? Although a freestanding functional trainer might be on everyone’s wish list, not every home gym owner has the money or the space to add this piece to their gym. This DIY Cable Pulley System can bridge that gap and do just about everything a standalone functional trainer can do at a fraction of the price.

Should Powerlifters Do Cardio? Yes, and this is how!
Should Powerlifters Do Cardio? This is a common question, and on the surface it makes sense. In powerlifting, the pursuit of maximal strength is the top priority. Thus, there is an idea that cardio training will inevitably interfere with strength gains or hinder recovery within the powerlifting community. However, when implemented strategically, cardio training can complement strength training efforts, enhance conditioning, improve body composition, and promote efficient recovery. Not to mention, there are obvious general health benefits to maintaining your cardiovascular health. And if you are a lifter that is bound to a particular weight class, implementing cardio can aid in weight maintenance without forcing a restriction of caloric intake.
