Bumping this thread as I'm interested to know if the j hooks from the GPR378 would fit the GPR370. My only real issue with the GPR370 is that the gun rack is a pain in the ass compared to regular j...

Some more good information and reading to do. Thanks again guys.

I'll have a look at those. Thanks.

That's good advice, thanks.

I guess I hadn't really considered that nine months plus of bulking may have been part of the issue. I'm eating around maintenence right now (circa 3000 calories),...

Not inbetween the pressing sets, but I was doing dumbell rows as assistance at the end of the pressing workouts.

A bit of background:

I completed two 12 week cycles of Madcow 5x5, had some great gains during the first cycle, however they slowed a bit during the second run. I enjoyed the gains from the...

Excellent, thanks.

So I've been using my gpr370 for the last few weeks and really like how heavy duty it feels compared to equipment that I've used in the past. I know that Body solid state that the weight capacity for...

B&J's ice cream. I think I'm addicted to it.

As above. I prefer whole food when possible, but do use whey for what it is - a dietary supplement.

Very nice gym. I just invested in a GPR370 myself but wish I had as much space as you :-P

Well rack and bench arrived yesterday and they fit just fine with room to bench press. Overall happy with the GPR370, however there are one or two 'made in China' issues that I have with it such as...

That's a fair point. Would definitely teach you to control the descent on deads just in case.

I agree with Cleveland about saving for a rack if you can. I've had those squat stands topple on me before and it isn't fun. As far as deadlifting upstairs goes, that's a judgement call you'd have...

If you're talking about the cheap free standing squat stands from eBay I would say avoid them if possible. In my experience they are not stable at all and can easily tip over if you rerack the bar...

Looks like I may be in luck. I found a picture on this site which shows a GPR370 and a bench set up on what looks like a piece of 6 x 4 ply, so the length of that ply is pretty much the same as the...

Thanks.

Yet another question guys. Body Solid lists the length of the safety arms as 17", but is this the actual useable area or the total length including the part that wraps around the upright? Thanks.

Apologies for confusion, as have just re-read my post: Shed is 9 feet wide by 6 feet long, so the length of the shed is the issue not the width. So olympic bar fits fine, but bench press in position...

Thanks. The shed is around 9 feet wide so an olympic bar works fine thankfully. It's just the width that's on the narrow side.

I'm 6feet tall so hopefully I'll be able to slide down the bench a...
