High Country Vigour (HCV)
HCV has made a very good start, but is about $2,000 (and 400 square feet) away from being capable of hosting all lifts.
- Basic Equipment - YES - May need some thin iron plates for heavy bar lifts
- Fulton Bar - YES - Generic
- Ring for Finger Lifts - YES - Michael Black
- Heavy Bar Lifts -
- Heavy Lift Bar - YES - Arm Assassin
- Hip Belt - Hip Lift, Carter Lift, Phumchaona Lift - YES - homemade
- Hand & Thigh - Hand & Thigh, Deanna Lift - YES - Arm Assassin
- Harness/Handrails - Harness Lift - YES - hommade
- Neck Harness - Neck Lift - YES - Ironmind
- Travis Lift Attachment - Travis Lift - YES - homemade
- Vertical Bar Lifts - YES - 2" Generic Sleeves and 1" FBBC v-bars
- Roman Chair - YES - combination stool and "The Answer" base
- Back Extension - NO - I do not have space for this
- Dumbbells -
- 1.9 inch Fulton - YES - Nemesis
- 2.5 inch Inch - YES - Nemesis
- 3.5 inch - NO
- Weaver Stick - YES - homemade
- Saxon Plank - NO - DIY
- Commercial Vertical Leg Press - NO - I do not have the space for this

- Trap Bar - YES - Gerard

Progression
- As it stands, HCV could contest 214/219
- 3.5" Dumbbell ($100) 215/219
- Saxon Snatch Plank ($50) 216/219
- Back Extension ($250) 217/219
- Vertical Leg Press ($2000) would add Foot Press and Back Lift 219/219
Purchasing a Back Extension would not be difficult, but they do take up a large footprint as the most reasonable solution is a modern glute ham device. $$*
Making a Saxon Plank will be difficult requiring a 3" wood plank, plate holders and a means of securing them. Reviewing the Clark's Gym set up: Double Thick 2x6 ($10) with flanges ($7 each) for 1 inch pipe and 1 inch pipes ($13 each) for loading pin. $, *** Jarrod made one of these and brought it over.
3.5" dumbbell ($60-$90) does not interest me. 3.5" dumbbell handles are uncommon but currently being offered by Arm Assassin and Nemesis Grips. $*
Back Lift/Foot Press apparatus are not likely for a completely different reason, space.. These could be fashioned from a commercial vertical leg press, but they take up a lot of real estate, especially in a home gym. $$$$**
A Custom Short Bar I CAN CONTEST THIS LIFT ON A STUBBY AXLE BAR. I could also fabricate a bar with 18" collar to collar distance and 12" of loadable sleeve (42" total length) $**
$ - low cost, $$ - mid, $$$ - high, $$$$ prohibitive
* - buy easily, **fabricate easily, ***fabricate hard, ****fabricate prohibitive
