[NASAMarine]

That forearm machine that you grip and it pulls up plates. If anybody knows what the hell I'm talking about hit me up. I've been trying to find one of these. I saw it in Flex years ago and cannot figure out who makes/sells it.

[BigDerek]

Your usual couple thousand lbs in plates and benches and a good power rack, but also:

Atlas stones going from 150 - 600 lbs in 25 lb increments.

Platforms going from 50 in -72 in

A 8in, 10in, 12in log

Super yoke

farmers walk implements

olympic platform with bumpers

Conans wheel

Tires going from 500 - 1500 lbs

kegs filled with sand, water and cement

sandbags of various shapes and weights

hollow steel 8 sided husafel stone

anything with a lot of nautilus machines would be nice.

That actually does look like a nice machine. However, I think I would laugh my a$$ off if I saw someone in the gym doiong that. I think that is worse than seeing scrawney retards with 55# curling in the squat rack.

[De Haan]

Strippers from Montreal

[coolness]

I would like, problably...

1000 to 2000 pounds of free weights

Bench
Leg Extension and curl machine
Jammer
Leg press machine
Squat rack, with chin-up bar on the top

And an olympic bar, easy bar, super-great 100-pound hold 1500 to 2000 pound bar, and some interchangeable dumbells, two at the least. My bench... would be interchangeable- incline, raised, flat, lowered, and decline, and possibly have a leg machine on it. It would be nice... and I problably wouldn't need any olympic stands, although, it might be nice. As far as that goes... I can basically do everything. Incline benches can substitute for preacher curls. I think that does it... although, a dip thing wouldn't hurt any.

[djnorris]

Anything without treadmills, ellipticals, and groups of 90lb teenagers I would consider a dream gym.

[TheCore]

No dips and pull/chin-up racks???

Or are they included with the power rack?
