Holy shit work has been kicking my ass! But speaking of work...I have access to some great leftovers such as steel and pallets that anyone could easily turn into a platform for loading. Personally, as a competitve strongwoman, this is one event that I really have to work on for nationals. Most local competitions use light weight...nothing over 135. So today, I brought home some pieces to get my garage platform started. When finished, it will be made mostly of pallets with some steel to reinforce it and secured with decking materials. It will also have two different surfaces, one with a hole for stones and one with a flat surface for kegs and sandbags. Total cost: about five to ten bucks for the material to secure it and probably twenty to thirty for a padded mat so that I don't crack the concrete in the garage...just in case I have to park a car in it some day :)
And as a side note, I do make my own stones. The molds are from Hybrid and are super easy to use...although mine did not come with any instructions, a quick Google search will bring up instructions as well as "how to" videos. It is a messy process, especially if you choose to use coloring like I did for the one pictured below, but the end result, so far, has been perfect.
Gotta love garage training!!
