Is it weird I want to take off my pants when I see these photos?

[urbanlifter]

I find it weird that you even had pants on before seeing the photos, must be ready at all times when viewing Sorinex equipment....

Love that saying on the back wall, very motivating!

[cmarti063]

Ha! That's my school.

Very nice! With the exception of the np benches, does Reflex make all that stuff for Sorinex? Never quite sure how much of their stuff is made by Reflex Fitness.

It's not real clear what Sorinex makes and what Reflex makes. My XL rack I'm fairly certain is a product of Sorinex. I have the NP bench and I'm not real sure on it. Regardless of who built it, it is built like a tank.

Edit: Oh and about the pants. I never where pants or underwear while working out. I like seasoning my equipment like grandma does her cast iron skillet, only I do it with nut and chode sweat.

T-Rex arms add an interesting element as well - bar ends up right in the junk

Lol. Everytime I try and do snatch grip DL, I quickly remember why it's a bad idea.

Mine is shrugs, my nub ends up in a terrible spot everytime.

Yup, those are worse cause then the bar has to travel all the way through

Same, stuck with behind the back shrugs but they I have to try and hold the bar back enough to clear my ass

I'm fairly certain Sorinex cut Reflex out of it a while back.

What is the basis for this conclusion? There are still products on their website that I'm fairly confident are made by Reflex. GI made a good post a while back about what was made by who.

Iirc, if it has a white frame in the photo, it's probably made by Reflex. That's most of the machines, one of the benches, and some other stuff. I think they also made some of the bars like the Naked Bar.

From what I understand both make quality equipment. I've owned a Sorinex/Reflex R-12 bench and it was well made. My only complaints are that the foam padding could have been better and that some of the bolts and other hardware were welded over and painted over. I would prefer to be able to take it apart at the hinge for ease of moving (it weighed 125lbs) down narrow stairs. Disassembly would also make refurbishing easier. It was an older used bench though and it's likely that there have been changes over the years. There was a recent review of a new Reflex rack and bench...iirc, all of those issues were addressed. The review is well worth reading if you are considering a new power rack and/or bench.

Reflex is fairly close to me and I have had them make several bars and attachments for me. When I was in their shop about a year ago, Bryce mentioned that they had recently lost about 80% of their Sorinex business, as Sorinex had upgraded their own facility and was trying to fabricate as much of it as they could themselves.

I liked what Reflex was offering and hope that this loss of business doesn't close their doors. It would suck to lose yet another quality American equipment manufacturer.

You don't need to have an account to see the photos. A lot of manufacturers have public ******** accounts since it's good advertising.

Ah, the progress of mobile devices. You might need to get it to load in the normal full page mode in order to view the page. (I have no idea how). Otherwise, a laptop would work.

******** seems to be forcing people into the app and messenger via phone. You can not longer use messages without downloading their intrusive messenger app.

My wife bought this Galaxy Tab for me a little while ago, so now I rarely touch my laptop. I take care of everything on this or my phone.

i have a pretty nice laptop and a first gen iPad...i told myself i wouldn't buy a new one until this one dies (because i know how often Apple releases new versions). for a while, the power button wasn't working and i was about to use that as an excuse, but then it fixed itself

i don't use it so much now that it's so slow...

[dragon360]

Damn that was some beautiful setup - absolutely stunning.

[Synthetickiller]

Wow, the school was suckered into buying franken hypers. If I was a student there, I'd be F'n pissed, lol.

Embedded for all those who can't see it:

There's a ton of youtube and website based tear down / repair guides. Ifixit is good start.

Try android next time.

I'll take the pitshark. They can keep those franken hypers.

sooo what is the benefit of squatting inside the cage verses outside? Im seeing both the saftey straps and the added saftey supports (don't know the official name) on the outside. IS someone going to be squatting outside while someone is benching inside? Doesn't seem safe. someone enlighten me

[cmarti063]

On spread for the embed job, SK. I'm just looking forward to about 10 years from now when my garage will be decked out in KSU equipment!

Edit: also stoked they finally got a football team. Lord knows they have stupid cash flow...
