Portable deadlift platform? 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... Corbets‎, 12-28-2020 09:49 AM	Last Post By C123C View Profile View Forum Posts 12-31-2020, 02:00 PM	12	528
Audio for Home Gym What is everyone using for audio in their home gyms? My gym is 12'x23' for reference. I'm contemplating a simple sound bar setup for space savings and simplicity but want quality sound. I have a nice JBL flip Bluetooth speaker but it isn't enough sound for the room. cmb47‎, 11-24-2016 09:30 AM 2 Pages • 1 2	Last Post By BiGx5MurF View Profile View Forum Posts 12-31-2020, 02:49 AM	50	6,237
French Fitness equipment - any good? Looking for a piece of equipment similar to Force USA G12, which seems kind of pricey (5K). Came across the French Fitness FSR80 which looks like a replica of the Force USA G12 - does anyone have any experience with French Fitness? I can't post links because I have never posted before... No... vtsteevo‎, 12-30-2020 11:41 AM	Last Post By vtsteevo View Profile View Forum Posts 12-30-2020, 11:41 AM	0	271

Floor/ equipment leveling for larger spaces Hi all - For a space that will have larger equipment (hack squat etc), at what point would you use self-leveling cement to correct unevenness? I have a 48' x 26' main space and I've used both a 4' digital level, a line level and a laser pointer and gotten slightly different numbers but...

Cybex squat press - New vs. Old design We currently have the old Cybex squat press 5235 and recently come across the new design (model 16510) for sale. Has anyone used both versions, if so, is there any real difference in movement pattern, and which did you prefer? Is it worth the upgrade? rifter123‎, 12-28-2020 07:17 PM	Last Post By rifter123 View Profile View Forum Posts 12-28-2020, 07:17 PM	0	267

What's your opinion on the Powertec accessories? 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...

Do you think having accessories for my Powertec in this small-ish space looks okay? I was really looking forward to the Leg Press. Still have to call Powertec for a few issues. Here you can see my Leg Press on the sidewall. I also ordered a couple more accessories. Do you think it looks okay or is too cluttered? I know I'll have space for the Leg Curl, but I'm wondering if the... Einhander12‎, 12-26-2020 03:05 PM	Last Post By Greybird2 View Profile View Forum Posts 12-28-2020, 04:24 AM	9	461
Should I buy a dedicated incline ab bench? Found a used Incline Ab bench for sale locally. Are these worth it for abmaxxing?

Is it possible to make gains with an incline bench and limited dumbbells? Hey guys, was thinking about trying a home gym setup, mainly because all the gyms in this entire ****ing province are so small and lack proper equipment or have minimal equipment. But I don't have enough space for a barbell. I could fit an incline bench and dumbbells. But dumbbells only go up in... 2RDEYE‎, 12-25-2020 03:33 PM	Last Post By NMS3 View Profile View Forum Posts 12-25-2020, 06:06 PM	6	290
Element Fitness Elite Leg Press/Hack Squat This may be one of the better machines for home use that I’ve seen , and the foot plate for leg the press looks bigger than most models I’ve looked at in the past . Wish I could find reviews, but it’s a fairly new release , so guess I may be the first to do so . Uses rollers instead of linear...

The Strength Co. Weight Plates 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...

I have some serious questions about the Powertec Leg Press Attachment that I got First off, I do actually like the way the Leg Press feels. But I have some serious questions. The accessory makes me a bit nervous. And I'm surprised how big it is. First, how do I take the attachment out of the bench? It doesn't seem to come off no matter how hard I push. Also, I never could... Einhander12‎, 12-25-2020 12:39 AM	Last Post By thedickus View Profile View Forum Posts 12-25-2020, 05:51 AM	1	270
Diverging lat pulldown bar 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.

Seated Preacher Combined w/ Tibia Dorsa Machine? I picked up a tibia dorsa machine and I love it. I have issues with calves so it’s great for me. I was thinking of buying a standing preacher machine but I’m limited on space. I want to be able to do preacher curls and also reverse grip forearm curls. So I gots to thinking what if I buy a... hglip‎, 12-23-2020 11:39 PM	Last Post By BiGx5MurF View Profile View Forum Posts 12-23-2020, 11:42 PM	1	263

Different types of Olympic bars Greetings from Australia! Apologies if this is in the wrong section as it's my first post. I was hoping some of the knowledge folk could tell me about two different Olympic bars I own and which one to keep and which one to sell. One is your bog standard brass bushing bar but the other is a... malarkey1989‎, 12-19-2020 02:17 AM	Last Post By squanto View Profile View Forum Posts 12-22-2020, 09:16 PM	4	704
