+1. Any type of bench press on the Smith always made my elbow joints scream and didn't work well with my tendency for shoulder impingement either. I like it for standing calf raise, shrugs and a...

Someone had a C2 rower posted that was dripping wet. I messaged and asked if he had washed it and he replied that he soaked it down with a hose to clean off the dust. JFC. Some people just really...

You can wrap it, but it's going to negatively impact the smoothness on a machine that is already not very smooth to begin with. Ideally, you would replace it with a gym-quality cable, but you could...

Depends on your frame I think. I'm good with 10-12" pads, but find the 14" to interfere with my ROM for some lifts.

I haven't used any of their stuff, but the roller J-cups are raved about by everyone I have sever seen post about them.

Not much gets me into NYC, but I saw this Prime bench on FB Marketplace and couldn't pass it up. It came with the elbow pads also.

It's been about 1.5 years since I took pics of my home gym setup, so figured it was time for an update.

I would occasionally use the one at LAF just because it was there, but I usually did them on the Smith or occasionally on the 45-degree leg press. Now that I've abandoned commercial gyms, I do...

Any of them are fine. Gym Pin, King Pin etc. Joe D w / Impact Strength is a member here and makes them. That's who I got mine from. You can email him: djbdagostino at AOL

GPI perhaps. No longer made btw.

Marcy, Weider, Gold's Gym, Force USA, etc. are all poorly made. You won't find a good Smith machine new in the $1,500 range. You can, however, a find a good one used for that price.

I get that these are $2k even used, but in my eyes this is worth ~$100 in its current state. I'd have it repaired if I wanted to get more for it.

p.s. Looks more suited to a sex dungeon.

Good, non-calibrated plates are typically within 3% of their labeled weights, so 1-lb on a 45 isn't worth a second thought. In my sampling of about 15,000 lbs of plates, I found that my cheap plates...

Thank you. We lost her to cancer very suddenly in 2017 at only 9 years old. The rest of my pack is getting up there in the years now (ages 8-12) so our hikes are much shorter and easier now, but we...

The bag should weigh at least 1/2 your body weight. There are a number of good bags out there from Title, Ringside, Outslayer, Fairtex, etc. I would stay away from Everlast.

I have a 2-tier dumbbell rack for sale and the ad explicitly states that no weights are included. Inevitably, I have had several people ask: "Are the weights included?"

A lot of younger people...

Awesome collection. Get some Legend 4-tier racks. :D

Manasquan, NJ. Commercial adjustable incline bench. $50.

I don't own them, but there has been a lot of talk about them in the last year in the various gym groups I frequent. Those that actually use them seem to like them quite a bit, but most that have...
