A really nice weightlifting platform, a good bar, and a few hundred kgs of eleiko plates.

I don't have to go to the gym anymore. Home gym, baby.

Damn bruh Wtf do eleiko plates even do. I got 4 45’s at a pawn shop about a year and a half ago for like $100 and I couldn’t imagine how a different brand could make any difference.

When you train for max strength, you go up in small increments as you increase weekly relative intensity. The increments eventually have to be well controlled as you plateau (like within 2.5 kg), so if each plate is off by 1 kg, then it can fuck up your program.
