For anyone still seeking out a rack Seeing social media ads for BURLI racks. Company just launched. Check their site. Brand new company so obviously can't know the quality and reliability, but just passing along in case people struggling to find a quality rack. I have no personal interest...

Hello, so I want to buy new weights made from stainless steel. Now I'm thinking about either getting 8 25kg + 4 20kg plates or just 14 20kg plates. It seems to me that loading and unloading with 20kg being the heaviest plate one has is easier in terms of warm-ups but also in terms of smaller...

Dear sirs, I Workout in gym, but I also own a vacation home and sometimes guests complain that a home gym is missing. So, I decided to set up a small gym and studied several posts here on the forum (starting by domicron's one). From this readings I Concluded (I think) that a small home...

Hello, I want to buy weight plates and since I'm going to workout outdoors or in a garage (with high humidity) I think about getting either rubber coated weight plates or stainless steel weight plates. The price is not important in this comparison. What is more resistant to corrosion...

Does anyone have any experience with the Titanium Strength smith machine. I looked at it on their website and from the picture it looks well built. Can't find any reviews about the machine and hate to buy it blindly without seeing it in person or talking to someone that has had experience with...

I’m looking to setup a landmine bar in a tight space. I plan on chopping down an axle bar. My question is, what’s the shortest overall length that would still be functional? Ignore sleeve length for weight capacity. I’m specifically wondering about the lever length / arc that the bar moves...

Hi everyone. I'm looking for some specialty bars for my gym, specifically a Gaspari Curl bar and Gaspari cable handle as well as the Troy Suprbar and cable handles. I know that I can still get the Troy suprabrars new, but it would be nice to find them used if I can, for a good price. I'm up in...

Hey y’all So my gym is largely kitted out, and I’m looking at details now. One thing that comes to mind is possible having a custom, portable deadlift platform crafted, and I’d like to get your thoughts. Let me lay out the situation. I can’t put in a real deadlift platform because... my rack...

I'm really loving my Powertec. So happy I made the decision to go with it instead of the Bowflex Home Gym. The one thing I love about the Bowflex is the cable fly. It's hard for me to replicate that on the Powertec. I do use Spud Straps and do cable flys with it. But I'm not sure it gives me the...

Found a used Incline Ab bench for sale locally. Are these worth it for abmaxxing? I have a garage gym Thinking it is probably better to buy and incline/decline bench...

I haven't seen anything on here about these plates which were recently released and are also "Made in the USA" and thought I'd give them a mention, although they're quite expensive in contrast to some other iron plates in this category, but never the less they're an option and they appear to get...

Someone needs to invent one. It could be spring loaded, upside down V. As you pull, bar would straighten out. Spring would have to have adjustable tension for weight used. Being that only 3 or 4 inches would be needed on each side, it seems doable. Hmmm.
