Can't speak for the interlocking, but I love my VTX grip plates, they make loading and unloading much less of a chore. I've wondered why they aren't more popular. I suppose they are a little bulkier...

Got some Average Joe stainless handles for my U-90 Powerblocks. Great grip. Too much for me actually. At light weights it's fine but at heavier weights it really digs in. He separates them out...

So is it pretty stable? I made one out of 2x4s that was a rectangular block much like that and ended up having to extend the base several inches to keep it from tipping.

I'd start by asking the gym where they got theirs. I don't know if I've ever seen something like that.

I see a lot of people using straps that are set too low. Because of the sag when the ends are low enough to stay out of the way the center can be too low to to their job.

Fabric degrades over...

The problem is that most of the women in yoga pants should not be in yoga pants.

I am also not a big fan of the 3x3 or 75x75mm standards. It's overkill for the vast majority of lifters making everything heavier and more annoying to use than it needs to be. But one issue with...

My regular Lock-Jaw collars are pretty easy to use and have held up fine for years now. Like this but an older model: https://lockjawcollar.com/products/lock-jaw-oly-2

I also have the Rogue axle...

It's hard to know where they went wrong.

There are several used commercial grade Precor treadmills for sale near me for under $1000. The biggest problem is that they are large and heavy and not built to be taken apart easily to, for...

Bigots never seem to have any self awareness.

If you want the best treadmill you can get for $500 buying used again is going to be by far your best bet. You're not going to find a good quality new one in your price range. Treadmills are a PITA...

Yeah pretty much any big box hardware store.

Here is what I found in a quick search:

"It's not where your diagram shows, but I did find it. It is on the underside of the flywheel exterior. Thank you for at least pointing me to the general...

That was my main concern as well, but it's not really an issue. I'm not doing crossfit with it. Once it's under load they don't move. It does a few things really well, some things competently, and...

Yeah it's essentially hand built so it's rough around the edges. But it does a lot for the price. I bought V1 after watching Gluck's review on it:

Same here, lifting is a secondary fitness activity for me. I use a PhenoX Maverick Bar that I got due to ongoing injury issues. I like it, but I no longer have any specific strength or aesthetic...

Need to know your goals, available space, budget, and what kind of lifting you typically like to do to make recommendations. As others said a good bench and dumbbells can take you pretty far if you...

You evidently already have everything you really need, so if you want something for variety or accessory work I agree that a functional trainer or lever gym would probably be more useful. Or perhaps...

Yes. Nuobell uses little plastic cam followers and it's a matter of when, not if, they break. Here is a teardown from Average Joe:

I don't mind...
