My name is Joe Gray - aka Gray Matter Lifting - and I've been lifting at home since 2013. In that time I've built a badass gym, deadlifted over 600lbs, helped grow r/Homegym to over 1 Million subscribers, created the Garage Gym Competition and written a ton of posts here on this site. I love the Garage Gym Community... If you do too, I hope you stick around.

    The Gray Matter Lab – V2

    The Gray Matter Lab - V2 ... When I started taking over more of the garage, buying specialty bars, and my garage gym game upgraded!

    The Gray Matter Lab – V1

    The day I quit the commercial gym and started lifting exclusively at home. I had built The Gray Matter Lab - V1 with some Craigslist purchases and an order from Rogue Fitness.
