    lmao I find this hilarious. I wonder how awful this would feel with hex plates.

    On paper, it doesn't sound too bad. Currently if you already have a gym, you can get certified as a SS Gym. Having been to a few in the southeast, I can say that those at least are doing very well. I...

    I do not own a cerakote bar, but I've used one many times. In terms of how the bar feels in my hand:

    bare steel > black oxide = cerakote > black zinc

    I noticed that the chalk I use sort of...

    They do have a handy tip on the site, just don't put plates on the sleeves.

    Are you outside the US? I wouldn't pay $100 for a Slingshot. You can improve your bench by improving your technique first.

    Year after year, Westside Barbell beats the sh!t out of a rack that's similar to the EliteFTS 2x2 and it puts up with it all. I don't think you'll regret an EliteFTS 3x3 Scholastic.

    Wright has been around for a while. The last I saw they were mentioned here was when they were "outed" for producing bars for multiple fitness companies that popped up. I've seen their old budget...

    When I was microloading overhead presses, I just bought some cheap ankle/wrist weights that came in 1lb and 1.5lb pairs. This was years ago, but I remember they didn't cost more than $15 or so from...

    Great information here. They're pricey but I bet they'd outlast the current crop of weightlifting shoes on the market.

    That's funny, I was just asking about Safe shoes the other day when a "Safe" branded rack and bench were bought and posted here. The current low-top Titan version of this shoe is very sturdy and...

    I only ever used that bench as a dedicated flat bench that stayed in the same model York STS rack as in the picture. For that purpose, it was very good and regularly saw use by an equipped...

    Did your gym have the chain adjustment version? I was impressed that it could be lowered and used for benching out of the mono hooks. There was talk about a docking bench so it could be used in...
