You know I like T-bar rows. I told you so before, when I sang the praises of the land mine I bought. I've been using a narrow-grip pulley attachment with it, but with my latest purchase, I'm one step closer to a garage gym T-bar row.

All hail the Dead Wedge, the deadlifting thing we never knew we needed
Will the Dead Wedge help you shatter your PRs, brah, or ultimately shatter your perception of what the deadlift can be? Nah. But it's a quality-of-life add, to be sure.
Workout: Lower-Body Strength and Endurance
I'm going to approach this workout like someone with an intermediate training knowledge base, but physically speaking, like a beginner.

Guest blogger John Greaves III of Garage Gym Life explains the concept of "casual savagery."
We’re training tonight! Try this lower body workout
If you haven't gotten your lift in today, try mine and let me know what you think. We're going heavy with squats, and adding cleans, lunges and some core work.
The Shoulder Exercise You Shouldn’t Skip
If I can do just one shoulder exercise, I'm going with internal/external rotations.
