January 1997

John Taroli
John sparked new motivation to The Iron Jungle in an unconventional sort of way. John, an ex-bodybuilder, is also a very creative metal worker. He fabricated a slick attachment that bolts onto our power rack to hold the Gerard Trap Bar. He then turned us on to some 3/4" rubber mats that are traditional used to line horse trailers. The mats are 1/4" thicker than those square mats generally sold for weightlifting. They also tougher and cost about 1/3 the price! They now pave the entire floor at The Iron Jungle.
