I used those bowflex dumbells at a buddies house and they actually fell apart when I went to pick them up. They're very cheap, stick to the ironmaster type ones. Bowflex is not worth the month,...

Here's a pretty good thread to checkout. I made a cable cross over with my powertec power rack and it works very well....

Just came across these and thought they looked almost exactly the same as Power hooks. Wonder how good they are? I own Power hooks and I really like them.

The straps the handles are attached to look a lot like ankle straps, you could probably make this exact set up very easily.

I have the same machine, only the one where you can put olympic plates on it. I paid way over $200 for it, so that's a great deal. The thing I liked about the olympic plate version though, is that...

About 6 days ago, I was doing a set of dumbbell flys and when I got to my last rep at the bottom of the movement, I felt a weird popping feeling between my lower bicep and upper forearm( I believe...

I have an old style Plates loaded Tuff Stuff pulldown machine that uses the rectangular tube and its actually really nice. The machine is very smooth and I havent had any problems at all with it. ...

You should be able to bend them to make them tighter by bending them backwards. What I do, is I place the round part of the collar on my thigh, then I place the palms of my hand on each side of the...

That's the exact pulley I used for my setup. They're pretty strong and smooth. I'll try to take a newer picture of what I did to connect the pulleys better. I used a small piece of chain and then...

Here's what I did to make Cable crossovers for my Power rack. You could do something like this. Since the picture, I've changed out the rope for chain. Also I made an attachment to do lower...

I have a Super bench with a Powertec rack and it works great. I haven't had any issues doing flat bench or incline.

Just want to also mention that my rack doesn't have the lat attachment, so I...

I did this setup. The ropes were replaced by cables and it works really well. It was really pretty cheap to make, bought everything at Home depot. I also made a loading pin out of pipe.

I weigh about 230 and I've used 120lbs dumbells on the bench several times without a wobble. My workout partner was about 260 or so and he would do the same, so I would say that it can for sure...

I had one of those benches. Its a pretty good bench for the money. Very durable. Only a couple things I didn't like about it, one being the tightening knobs that are used to attach the preacher...
