The owner (Dr John Jacquish) gets even more shady. When asked if his band increases bone density he replies that it doesn't but for that you need to use OsteoStrong. It's a "wellness" company that...

Don't trust the company, too shady. Following on ********, people who question their claims of muscle gains (one guy said he gained 10-12 lbs of muscle in 10-11 weeks) quickly get their comments...

I reached out to Slayer about the Assassin vs. other models and here's the reply I received:

Thanks TASOSCHATZ, appreciate the update. I'll wait until they get this model back in stock. With the adjustment options I can see why it's pretty popular.

I'll still try the hip thrusts. I train...

For those with the Slayer Barbell, how do you still like it? I'm looking at the Assassin model which has the 10 position settings:...

I sold my Parabody power rack for a new GDCC200 about 3 years and love it. Posted a pic of it here: http://forums.menshealth.com/topic/63643898169037076?reply=63643898169037091#63643898169037091....

Not surprising when you take the average overweight, inactive individual who wants the same results but prefers to sit on their arse and do nothing. Haters gonna hate.

Hey Matt, could you provide more details on your lifting program, i.e. what did your set/rep scheme look like?

Congrats on your results, damned impressive.

Thanks.

I've had the GDC200 for over a year and half and really enjoy it. I made arrangements with Body-Solid to go with 15-lb plates for the bottom 10 on each side (each stack has 21 plates). Didn't void my...

Exactly, that's why I mentioned I do all of my heavy benching on the floor so the IronMaster Spotting System or kicking my knees up aren't going to work. I think Sherm and I have worked out a...

Yeah, ended up contacting Sherm at Shermworks and he hasn't been able to come up with a comparable set-up for PowerBlocks. However, he has some ideas that may work with a rope ratchet but I'd still...

I have the Super Bench but b/c of a rehabbed/reconstructed shoulder I do my heavy benching on the floor.

But what I don't understand about the IronMaster DB spotting system is you always start...

Thanks for the heads-up. I guess that rules out the Power Hooks since I need something that will handle the Stage 3 weight range.

I checked out the Power Hooks but read a review from another PowerBlocks owner at Amazon who said they weren't worth the hassle of what it takes to get them set up.

I was wondering if there's a...

I recently bumped up my PowerBlocks to 130-lbs but doing bilateral presses are pretty unwieldy at this weight. Because of a rehabbed/reconstructed shoulder I do all of my heavy pressing from the...

Wondering if anyone knows of any current online deals for home gym equipment (rack, bench, plates, etc). I have a buddy that doesn't live close to any decent sized cities so he's not able to find...

Agree, I've seen some pretty tough power racks made from wood.

Nah, I got most stuff on CL from guys with overinflated expectations and no commitment. :) But I did buy my Body-Solid functional trainer new. Got it at a great price locally.

Do you have a...

First, what type of bands are you looking for? The recommendations here are cord types. For elastic bands you're typically talking these. It really depends on what you're trying to do.

I have both...
