The Garage Gym Experiment Podcast12 Jan 2022

#15 Programming, Tech, Personal Preferences, and SURPLUS STRENGTH!

This week, we surveyed the community about some “personal preference” questions, programming, tech, cardio, and more.

We also interviewed our podcast guest, Jason Campbell. He is the founder of Surplus Strength and the Universal Pulley System creator. In the Q&A section, we discuss the birth story of the UPS, troubles with bringing it to market, why he started his own home gym, and make some predictions for the home gym industry.

Survey Results:

(15:40) Personal Preference Questions
