Straps. The cheap Gold's gym ones at Walmart. Better yet, the free ones that get thrown in on supplement orders on this very website.

The way they work isn't rocket science, and they don't need...

Tremendous article. Thank you. Now, I'll go train with a smile on my face.

I'm taking jack3d in my late 40's, and I'm still alive. If you've got some sort of issue, you might be in a different boat; but I'm using a PWO only occasionally when I'm really dragging. Of...

Good luck in your training, and in the service. I have sent some reps your way.

Also, I'd stick with bodyweight for now considering your weak stats. Shedding the fat will also help a lot to...

Here's my example of why I keep a home gym:

Yesterday, I had to drive about an hour and a half away to get to an appointment for work. Then, I had to drive around there for another couple of...

I'd resume training on the next regularly-scheduled day, and I wouldn't worry about skipping a couple of days.

Fighting a little bit of lazy could turn into a real problem if you regularly have...

Five days forced layoff? Five days is nothing. Just come back to the training well-recovered. I wouldn't diet at a deficit during the layoff, I'd just eat what's necessary to maintain.

I dunno, All Pro's is kind of nice with the weekly de-load. It keeps me injury free, it allows me to concentrate on form and pace pretty easily, it's dummy proof. It's a well-designed program with...

You get to have money extracted from your checking account each and every month if you go to a "real" gym. When something on a machine is busted, you get to wait until the 19 year old kid gets...

IRight now, I'm training three full-body sessions per week, with cardio on two of the off days. If I get to feeling a bit burnt out, I switch to an every-other-day push/pull split and cut out the...

When I took my lat attachment off, I sold it. You could do the same, and then try to find a lat machine on craigslist. Or, you could rig the old attachment to make a stand-alone.

I agree. I remember when my lat pull was first delivered, the guy from the shop recommended this. That's what I've used ever since. I've had that lat pull since the late '80s. Same for my...

My preference, in this order, as money is always an issue for me: Wrestling shoes, Chuck Taylors, swim shoes.

I train at home in my basement, and barefoot is great. However, I recently got a...

I guess I never measured the square footage, but I've pretty much taken over the basement with the gym, except for the powder room, washer, dryer, furnace and water heater.

Quitting is easy. I've done it dozens of times. For a week, a month, half a year, a year.

Presently, I haven't smoked since around Thanksgiving. I can tell you it's really hard to stay away. ...

Zercher squats. Hack squats. Front squats. Those should keep you occupied and safe until you find your dream deal on a sturdy power rack.

Alternatively, you could get a pair of saw horses.

I agree with everything here; and I happen to own that very model roman chair. It was a curb find, and it's held up quite nicely for me. Once I took it home, I compared it with my Northern Lights...

Tremendous post, but I was able to view the first video with my Mac. Just to be sure, I watched it again. Then, I watched the one for Apple users. Twice. Thank you.

Yes. I have their FID bench that goes negative 20 to positive 90 degrees. I think it's awesome! I got it in a craigslist deal with a set of powerblock pros for $125 total. It was a steal. Both...

I like the traditional bar, too. I just picked one up, in pristine condition, for about three bucks. The local university salvage store was selling it at 35 cents a pound. It swivels like the one...
