That's true! Well those gents either didn't have the funds or the space to furnish a proper home gym. Just sayin....
That is so much fun but I bet it was hectic with 10 lifters in a garage!
I disagree. You're surrounded by a crowd of people in seats and have three judges to the front and sides of you plus spotters and other equipment around. Not exactly wide open, precisely why most don't mind lifting in confined spacing =) Just sayin.....
People get nervous because they're attempting weights they've never lifted before, LOL! Some also fear the embarrassment of missing a lift.
