    I have a new job that keeps me busy, so I am glad others have chimed in. I had a lot of the same concerns as your post and have tried a lot of equipment courtesy of Craigslist. One part that hasn't...

    I have no regents buying my new gpr378 for $399 shipped last year, but if I had the lat pull down bolted to the back my thoughts wouldn't be so positive. There are times when the bench needs to...

    I could, but I like the feel of the exercise as is. Resting my hands on the 2x2 part actually feels better with a very wide grip.

    They will get painted, just not this week. The handles are 24.5" center to center. If I want a wide grip I just place my hands on the 2x2 tube.

    Personally its the time spent messing with a large number of plates.

    Media blasting was slow on the thicker tougher epoxy paints.

    Actually the effectiveness of citrus based products haven't done anything in "minutes" to the epoxy paint that's on some standard weight. If another method works better and you feel like you cant...

    Remove paint from weights the easy way!

    I thought I would share my paint striping method. It can be very hazardous, so don't be brain dead and treat the stuff with respect. It takes one plastic bucket big enough to hold your weight, one...

    If you don't ruin the rack by blocking the rear with the lat pull down your bench choices dramatically increase. As long as you have an open bottom so that you can straddle the rear cross member and...

    The odd hex shaped dumbbells pop up on eBay quite often. I haven't ever seen them sell for much. There are those sellers that try though! I dont think anyone knows the name of the manufacture.

    What ever you buy make sure its fairly open on the bottom so you can straddle the rear cross member if needed. Ironmaster is flat on the bottom so that limits you to positions in front of the...

    A good USA welded 2x2 power rack could be better just make sure of the specs.

    I just measured my 10 month old 378 rack 77" inside, 79 outside sitting in the carpet, so maybe 1/2" more because of sink. Its a 3x2 top rail.

    No Its really 79" tall and others have come up with the same measurement.

    I will fit much different benches than you because of the height difference. I recommend not using the iron-master....

    Is been stated over and over here for over 10 months that body solid is smoking dope on their listed measurements. When I bought my rack I was slightly disappointed to find the shorter spec but it...

    The problems you are mentioning do happen with your spring collars. Do yourself a favor and don't use those. There are MUCH MUCH better ways to secure the weight than with the spring collar. The...
