    To me, top loading is the fatal flaw of the Squatmax, even though everyone agrees that it is the most pure vertical movement. In fact, any top loading equipment is a non-starter for me.

    You bastard! Had the red bench in my cart and it was gone by the time I hit checkout.

    That's what I did. Standard bar, cut shorter. I need to do this exercise more often.

    Wondering the same thing. I was leaning FB-4000 because that's more than sturdy enough for my needs and I wanted to try a grippy pad (I find it difficult to maintain good shoulder blade position on...

    Need a flat bench after I sold my old bench during this coronamania. Eyeing the FB-4000, but some reviews on Amazon complain about the single post end of the bench being wobbly. I trust members here...

    If it's at all possible to roll, that will open up a lot of options. But if it must be lifted and you want closer to 40lbs, that really limits things in terms of the good benches. I'd try to figure...

    I think this is certainly the case. Re-opening is a one-way street - as states re-open, they are NOT going to lock back down. And even if some gyms don't open and some members aren't comfortable...

    That's what I'd shoot for. Never going to get a better opportunity to trade out of that Model B and upgrade to a Model D in a couple of months.

    Where did you read that Golds is closing down? They are restructuring (that is why they filed for bankruptcy), but I haven't seen anything about them closing down the corporate owned gyms. The...

    Walmart had 25lb CAP dumbbells in stock for a few minutes earlier today. Stuff is coming back, but very slowly. The peak in gym gear pricing has been more plateau than sharp peak. Definitely...

    Oh yeah, I had a number of prospective buyers 'inform' me of the retail price of the gym gear I was selling. I suggested they go buy it at retail, and not waste their time with me.

    And the flipside of this seller's market is how bad it is for commercial gyms. Gold's has joined 24 Hour Fitness in filing for bankruptcy (they will restructure, not close down).

    That's what I do. When I'm selling stuff, I'm not dragging it any further than my driveway. And like @urbanlifter, I do not give my address until the buyer is ready to head over. This strategy has...
