since this is a cost no object thread, I'd begin with the Woodway desmo elite. I'd also include the lifefitness 95t, the landice L8, and the matrix t7.
great topic OP, I also have been thinking about this. no studies, but i'm experimenting on myself right now: i'm on a slow bulk and have shifted from eating most heavily on the workout day itself to...
...my understanding of these scales is that, even under optimal conditions, the (weak and harmless) electrical impulse that it sends through your body to make its measurements takes the shortest path...
to me probably the #1 reason for preferring a home gym (although right now I actually have both) is that I am *far far* less likely to miss a workout at home vs going to the gym (even though my gym...
...indeed, I forgot that the IM machine has the hi/low pulley system built in. That does give it more versatility than a bare bones smith. If OP can find one on CL in their area for a good price, it...

While this is generally true, it's good to remember how big of an impact individual differences can make: I'm slightly over 6'3", but my torso is only about 17" long (!), so that when I do pulldowns...
i'm actually currently having good results with a slow bulk combined with IF: I'm actually consuming slightly more calories both per day and per week than I did during my last (non-IF) bulk, and the...
