I live in NYC in an old, 3rd floor building apartment. Is it possible for me to strength train in it with a Rogue SML Rack and Barbell?


I plan to only train some type of deadlift pull and squat (front squat) since I can't just drop the barbell and weight if I'm about to fail... I also plan to buy the safety arms along with the Rogue SML. The upper body I'll be using the pull up bar that the SML comes with and probably use Rings to do inverted rows. The rest of my upper body movements will be bodyweight/advance gymanstics type training from the book Overcoming Gravity by Steve Low.


My goal is to go from current weight of 140 - 150 lbs to 190 - 200 lbs... I also want to train for overall athleticism and function in everyday activities. I plan to take up Martial Arts along with my strength training, so I'll be utilizing Tactical Barbell, Juggernaut Method or something along those lines of routine for deadlifts and legs... I'll be using either Tactical Barbell 2, Ross Enamait's stuff or Joel Jamieson stuff for conditioning... Grip training I'll also use Ross Enamait's book on grip training...


What do you guys think and suggest?

For the amount of money you're dropping on the equipment, you might as well join a gym with all the equipment. NYC has the South Brooklyn Weightlifting Club, oly lift gym at the Lost Battalion Hall in Queens, and the various crossfit gyms all over the city.
 
couldn't you just put the weight back down rather than just dropping it?
 
Didn't we just cover this in S&C ? Not sure what different answers you are hoping to receive.
