[starttext]Winner of the 2011 Reebok CrossFit Games Open, Dan Bailey splits his
time between CrossFit Legacy and his own garage gym. Get a peek into
Bailey's personal gym at his family's home in Uniontown, Ohio.
One
of the bald patches on Bailey's lawn is where he has trained long hours
with a heavy kettlebell. Bailey admits the kettlebell was a weakness
coming out of regionals last year, so he bought the 70-lb. bell and
told himself, "Now that's all you get to use."
Bailey's backyard
training ground also includes a wooden pull-up bar complete with
exposed nails to test "the accuracy component of CrossFit." Using what
he has on hand, Bailey's outdoor "plyo boxes" are stacked landscaping
beams.
Inside the garage, Bailey shows off his equipment,
including a Rogue yoke. But it's his homemade gear that shows how
important functionality is to the former sprinter. He constructed a
plyo box with his father, hung a plumber's pipe for pull-ups and rings,
and bound together wooden planks lined with scavenged tire rubber to
protect the concrete floor during Olympic Lifting. He also created his
own bumpers using spare tires filled with sand, and he filled a
basketball with sand for his wall-ball.
- Great work dude. Love to see people make the most out of the least.
- you are the best rogue athlete and they cant give you some equipment.shame on them.
- look at all that property...you're still an incredible athlete though.
