    Thanks EK,

    I felt like I was too far forward on this set too. I know what you mean about keeping the bar over midfoot so I'll have to watch that.
    Appreciate the input.

    Hey jtbny, thanks for your response!

    Yeah, the bucket is my chalk holder and it's the only thing I could find to gauge proper depth on the squat.

    I have to admit I didn't read thru all the responses on the spin bike, and someone might've said this already, but I'll give my comments on it here.

    I have a Schwinn spin bike and I've used it...

    I have the Concept2. I love it. It doesn't seem to bother my hips at all. I'm 51 and I'd notice if it did aggravate anything, but so far it doesn't, and I've used mine quite a bit.

    It probably...

    My $.0002

    I've got the older BS GPR 378 and had it since 1999. (Wildtim, I think you and I have the same model!) I love mine, it's been a tank, and it's as much as I need. I've never felt the need to upgrade....

    Rowers are awesome. I've got a Concept 2 and with the workouts it's as easy or tough as you make it. Take some time to learn proper technique.

    I've done everything from longer "more relaxed" rows...

    Not for anything, but I really love those plates and wish I had some.

    I've got more Oly plate weight than I'll ever need - well, I do have a leg press, so maybe someday I'll need more, but....

    Like a lot of other people, about 3-4 years ago I thought I needed to be in on the Crossfit craze and went out and bought a set of Elite rings - the resin ones that one of the reviews on here didn't...

    ...Not as much as I thought I would, quite honestly. Mine sort of hang on my rack, when I haven't pushed them to the side so they don't get in the way of my squats and other lifts.

    I know they're...

    I'd build about a 30,000 square foot building to house my weight room!

    Seriously though...probably a sled or a GHD.

    Just noticed, is the rack missing its adjustable spotter arms? I couldn't see them in the picture.

    Lack of spotter arms would obviously significantly decrease the value of the rack. Not that you...

    I think I'm familiar with the ones with the rubber rings that you mention. I think those are Marcy plates. I'd probably buy them. Others on here may disagree, and I've seen the rubber eventually...

    Bite the bullet and get an Olympic set. You won't be sorry. Besides, I've heard on here that standard bars won't support much past 200# and will likely bend, but I'm unsure if that's true or not.

    I'd recommend the BodySolid rack.
    I've got the older, white one and it's great - I've had it over 10 years.
    The one thing I like about it, other than it's a tank, is the 'trays' for holding DBs...
