Forum: Workout Equipment

Thought I'd give a brief review with a few thoughts and opinions upon lifting with the Manta Ray Bench for a bit now. Assembly was very straight forward (the instructions say two people recommended, but anyone desensitized to assembling equipment on their own you got it). The bench is an absolute...

I've been wearing a pair of water shoes for my workouts at home. Lightest, flattest, grippy footwear I have. But they do still have a bit of heel rise, and I'd prefer not to wear them out as water shoes. So I got to thinking about so-called "sock shoes." Did a bit of research, last night, and...

Typically I prefer free weights for leg day, but I'm moving into a more bodybuilding style of training, so being able to perform lying leg curls and seated extensions is appealing. Unless I'm going to expand my home gym from the basement to the garage, I don't have space for the dedicated machine...

Has anyone purchased the Ironmaster rubber coated olympic plates? The price doesn't seem bad compared to Rep or Titan. If so what do you think of them? I got rid of my leg press, so having thinner weights that I can fit on the leg press is no longer a requirement for me. I like the fact that...

I'm considering getting the American Barbell Chewy Bar for a more aggressive knurl in contrast to the passive knurl on my American Barbell Elite Bar. I have the choice of either going with a 20 TPI Volcano knurling, or a 25 TPI Mountain knurling as a blemish bar. Any thoughts, or opinions on...

Hello, my home gym is limited, so I'm wanting to adapt what I have to make my dumbbells seem heavier. If for example, I am doing bent-over-one-arm rows, is there equipment on the market that would allow me to attach / hook a 10kg to a 20kg dumbbell so in total I could lift 30kg? The only thing...

Do any manufacturers make a rackable version of a SUPER curl bar? My ez curl bar is rackable.. I'm thinking of trying out a super curl bar again for less elbow irritation. But i only purchase rackable bars these days... thkngs are just better that way for me. Crandell Fitness appears to make a nice...

While I have 36" of inside rack space, with the Marrs Bar and the nature of it's shape it does cramp the rack a bit considering I basically do every movement inside the rack including all the floor lifts and pull ups (so it involves some re-arranging the bars during the workouts). I was thinking...

Can anyone recommend some quality Vinyl Upholstery for a very small custom project? I'm trying to add a piece to fill in the junkulator gap on my Matrix Varsity GHD for some exercises so I figured I'll go online and buy some matte black vinyl upholstery and rebond foam and maybe also do my computer...

Curious if anything new has come out the last couple of years or what the general thoughts on these pieces are now? Would want something that would fit or could be modified to fit my 5'5" fiancee. Thanks for any thoughts.

Anybody have any experience with these machines? Looking for something for bicep and tricep and these look the part.

Hi, it appears that the nebula designs are being remanufactured by Arsenal, and Watson's. How does this work when rogue own nebula? How does westide fit into this? Legend? Who actually makes the equipment? Ie: westide reverse hyper, belt platform etc, the ones that are shared between companies....
