Have used my IM's to 150-165 lbs plenty of times (DB Chest Press) without worry. Mind you I have never had to drop them. I am guessing that that is what they are referring to re: warranty. When...
Love the pic!..my 15 year old has been training with me for about 4 years. This is the 1st year that I've let him train heavy(225 bench for reps/900+ on cybex leg press for reps). He has gone from...
TSC seems to be moving to this type of mat...flat on bith sides vs diamond plate/grooved. I was extremely concerned by this, because I have almost thirty of these things in my home gym and I continue...
Thanks. Without the help of this board, I would have never known that you could put together a home gym like this on a budget. There are only a handful of things that I purchased new. The truly...

Re: Powertec leverage squat...no, not really a fan...very poor ergos and when loaded up(fully), just doesnt feel that stable. Plus removing/inserting pin after 20 and 30 rep sets are a pita. RE:...

Its Bodymaster equipment, its in good shape, it has a 300lb stack (big +) and its only $325. If I knew where it was and was white/black ulph., it would be in my basement ;-). If you have...
I have owned every example listed here, with the exception of fixed db's. I currently own PB 130#'s and IM 165#'s. That was one of the most fair, accurate and concise descriptions of the many db...
I'm not sure if the Pro's had stickers for the db's, but I know they provided one for the stand, which you could buy instead of posting up a spreadsheet printout/other.
At 15, you have a lot to learn about lifting. You could have my home gym (mostly commercial equipment) and a ton of motivation and that wouldn't guarantee results. Workout/Diet knowledge is key to...
Luv the Cybex Row...if you were closer, I'd be figuring out what I could move to fit it into my gym. Your prices are awesome!!!! We need another, "Free Str8out from the Red Zone Campaign"...
