Really nice gym. The ceiling and recessed lights give it a classy feeling.

How do you like your Precor Stretch Partner? I have LifeSpan Stretch Partner and use it extensively. I even moved it to my bedroom. One day I'll upgrade to Precor.

I like mine jetigen, I have one too. I've been unsuccessful in finding the all black version to trade someone for mine lol. i'd prefer the jet black one. no difference except the color.

I kind of want to try the life span one you have jetigen .

as far as my precor one it feels good but since my back isn't really that messed up it really has helped a lot of my coworkers relieve their back pain. my boss I think slept on his back wrong and he was moving around so gingerly and like he was 40 years older (probably in his 50's). he had almost no flexibility when he used it but it cleared his back pain up completely so much so he canceled his doctor's appointment for his back. I knew he probably just had slept on it wrong since he never displayed a back pain like that. but the precor got him going again great. i'm glad I was able to help him out. I brought it in my car to work and he used it in the parking lot lol.

From what I read Precor and LifeSpan models are pretty much similar in terms of design and functionality. Precor is slightly bigger and of better quality I assume. LifeSpan is a solid unit though. I use it not only for back, but also for shoulder, hip area and leg muscles flexibility, especially hamstrings. It reset my lower back to normal I guess and the pain subsided dramatically. It's gone basically. Owning the stretch partner is way cheaper and time saving in the long run than visiting the chiropractor. Let's not hijack OP's thread. I stop here.

That's why all windows have blinds installed in the gym!

For those who messaged me about the Precor Stretcher, I believe it's going to be given to my Mother in Law. Sorry if you were interested in it, but no dice.......

Power Lift had two racks that they got from Michigan State or U of Michigan, whichever, but they just happened to be blue!

U of M (maize and blue). Mixing up the two has led to fights where I come from. Your rack is likely from when Mike Gittleson was S&C coach (Bo Schembechler to Lloyd Carr eras).

Thanks man! Cool to know the rack had some history.

Nice heater. are your garage doors insulated to keep out heat in summer or are you going to invest in an AC unit?

ahhh... it's on page 11. missed that. I noticed your garage doors actually have built in insulation. Lucky. I had to buy two of those foam door insert kits from Lowe's for my two car garage doors. they don't have a high R value but they do help keep the garage at least 6-9 degrees cooler.

Yes, and I painted the insulated panels too. They were faded and yellowed, so a quick coat of white brightened them up. Remember, I use this spot for business too, so it's gotta be clean and welcoming. IMO, the new spot crushes the old one.

You wouldn't be a Powertec spammer, would you?

LOL.

Safety Squat Bar
Full Length Trap Bar w/ Multiple Grip Positions
150lbs in total of Barbell Chains w/ collars (4 pair)

Cost: $40.00
