Alas, I only use it for belt squats. I have better options (and machines) for lunges, calf raises.

I did think it was going to be awesome for bent rows and “low pulley” movements...but it isn’t,...

I don’t think the positioning of the weight horns make much difference other than loading. I would prefer parallel for that purpose...but since I have plenty of plates and just leave it loaded, it’s...

Yep, absolutely love it. I have a leg press, magnum perfect squat, SSB, do regular squats, quad focused hex dead’s, and dumbbell lunges...and of all of them, Nothing hits the quads as directly as...

Man...If I knew this thread was going to get a bump, I would have left up the rocky video.

They hook up good the the rafters in a garage. Otherwise, many are designed to throw over a tree branch. You can adjust them, so the branch doesn’t even have to be straight.

I’m no form expert...but I advise taking some light dumbbells (like 25 pounds) and do some benches. Since the weight will be light, you won’t have to worry about putting much effort into actually...

Yep...everyone else under the sun is getting praised as a hero for working through this...but the USPS never gets mentioned, and it probably won’t until what you said becomes a reality. Then we’ll...

Not to mention I would LLOOVVEE being in quarantine instead of being out there every day exposed to this crap.

I had. 110 pound “Challenger” set. Grey plates with grey and black bar and annoying collars you needed a special little wrench to tighten. Here’s a pic of the dumbbells that I found online.

You guys keep cutting us out of all these fun desperate conversations. I planned and planned for the apocalypse, building a home gym over years JUST so I could say, “Nahna nahna nahna!”...and nobody...

I have an extensive home gym...but even now I have days where I just do bodyweight excercises or improvised equipment. Pushups with a variety of hand spacing and angles and dips. Pull-ups and...

Before they closed down, I was talking to the owner of the gym I deliver mail to...he told me a bunch of people were trying to “rent” dumbbells and barbells from him before it closed down. Ha ha. I...

Despite the current situation...investing in a home gym was the BEST decision I ever made (related to working out). All you need is some kinda rack, bench, bars, and dumbbells to do everything you...

Still looking great Troy...like me, you look just a tad less “dense”, but I think we both look “healthier” for the break.

I think you should write a book.

I know you immediately think I’m being sarcastic (I’m not) but with the teen years, to being a fat middle aged man, to getting in the shape of your life...all...

Define “a lift”.

If it’s purely for more reps or a higher weight...I dunno.

If it’s for muscle growth...I’ve had a lot of success with just dropping that lift for about 6 months and doing...

There are always those at a different point on the bell curve. Some will gain muscle at a painfully slow rate and others who are genetically gifted will gain muscle fairly quickly. Beyond the...

It sounds like you are on the right general path, and making progress, so all you need to do IMHO is continue to stay motivated, continue to be religiously consistent, and put the maximum effort into...
