Leigh's handiwork
Leigh recently finished a do-it-yourself project I thought worthy of spotlight: building a lifting platform!
She used the plans from the following site:

All told, it took no more than a couple of hours of work (she said it took WAY longer to clear out space in her garage). Leigh, along with her son Alex, is gonna use the platform for supplemental strength training, in addition to the training she does here at CFO. Alex is actually training for juniors in Olympic weightlifting, with a meet he's going to compete in happening in June (more on this next week, when we profile Alex), so the platform will come in very handy for him.
Nice work, Leigh!
March 2 On-Ramp
If you're reading this right now and you're thinking about joining CFO, join our March 2 on-ramp class. We still have two spots left--act now and get registered!

I cannot imagine my mom building a lifting platform in our garage - the thought is actually pretty hilarious. You rock, strong lady! Go, Alex, go!
I agree. Nice job. Looks great.
Wow, this looks really good. Well done, Leigh and good luck in your upcoming event, Alex.
Leigh-
Freakin' awesome!
Alex-
I didn't know you will be competing, I'm impressed!
Nice bars for a home gym, are those Rogue?
