Nice job on the yoke. I can't wait to see it finished. What color are you doing? Black?

To save your bits you really need to drill at low rpms. Most drill presses have a variable pulley system so you can get the rpms down to around 500 for steel. With a little drilling fluid my bits...

OP I feel your pain. I built my own rack to 91" tall so I could get a good stretch on pullups without bottoming out. lol

Check out this sic deal on a Legend jungle gym. I wish I had the space for this

I have this same bench. It rocks. I removed the front bar and made a new foot out of some 1/4" flat bar.

I would build a stand out of wood. That IM stand sucks anyway.

These are up for grabs on CL. I thought about it, but I really don't want to go down this road. I have a partial set of York roundheads it'll take me 20 years to fill out lol

Yeah but body solid makes a "commercial" line of equipment, supposedly. I'm hoping that's what this guy has, not the home gym stuff.

that's a mega amateur staple job

pendlay should be ashamed

shooting from the groin area

They look like cheap chinese crap to me

That's a pretty low space you are working with. My head would prob scrape the ceiling if I wore sneakers lol.

If that rack will work for you then go for it.

Here's an example of rust removal with a wire brush($2 home depot) and some driveway stain remover(phosphoric acid). I clean my barbells this way and it works like a charm.

Gramps - that's a sweet deal on that hampton bar. I may have to get me one :)

I have a standing calf machine but I do miss having a smith to do hack squats

Yeah. A girl I work with is paying $125 a month, which gets her 2 sessions per week. That's crazy to me. She says it's fun and worth the money.

This will prob be gone by the time you read this, so I'll recap the deal.

Key Fitness multi rack with linear smith, lat combo, pec dec, oly bar, bench + 270 lbs plates for $200. :o

I wish I...

I recently got a set of pros with some rusting on the handles. I'm going to clean them with a wire brush and maybe some phosphoric acid like I do my barbells. I might put a clear coat on afterwards...

If I was to open a gym, it would be a crossfit gym. Crossfit is hot right now. I can't recall seeing any crossfit gyms around here closing.

For the record, I don't do crossfit. :o

$145 is high as i'll go
