Sticky: The Official Power Rack Thread - August 2010 version This is a collaborative effort from the equipment forum members. The 2008 edition has a lot of broken links and rather than keep that one going we decided to start a new one. First let’s have a few definitions to clear up some confusion. Squat Stands: These are probably the most useless...

[Home Gym] Light up your Dungeon! If your home gym is in your garage or basement like mine, chances are you have those single bulb sockets spaced pretty far apart.

Best multigrip bar? I bought the Titan multigrip bar (all links at the bottom) when it was on sale a while back on a whim and now I realized I really like benching with a neutral grip bar because it is way easier on my bad wrists.

Rolled Rubber Flooring, Worthwhile Investment?. I believe some of the regulars have gone with rolled rubber flooring, 3/8" thick Regupol appears to be the main choice.
