I'd get a swamp cooler or something man. If you were like sharing a room with a few roommates in college at age 19 or something, that's one thing....but convincing your wife to let you use the living...

Just ordered a bestbelt single prong athlete belt in royal blue. Thanks to everyone for all the useful information in this thread.

Looks like bestbelts prices have gone up...my cost shipped was...

How are you getting your protein in as a vegan? Mainly just protein shakes?

Wow, that new FT is beautiful. Congrats on the awesome addition to an already great gym.


Please check your Pm's when you get a chance.

I've seen WL bars used for Deadlifts because they're thin and have good whip, but never really for squats. Any reason why you prefer to use a WL bar for squats rather than the OPB?

Haha, no weighing. the height of the 971 will fit fine in my place currently, but my issue is that it will ALWAYS be a concern into the future when I move to different homes..I just dunno if I want...

My concern wasn't the width, rather the height. When it's standing straight up its 91" and when it's laid on it's back it's still 83" (my doorway is the standard 80") and I was worried about having...

it came disassembled so it wasn't an issue. Plus it weighs nowhere near the 500lbs



It's plate loaded, so that 500lb weight is without a weight stack...crazy. still dunno how I'd tilt a 500lb...

I'm thinking about ordering a legend 3136 lat pulldown. Pretty much everything else I've ordered up to this point has been pretty compact (or a bolt together) and it's been a non-issue. However the...

Thanks for the complement!

I have the Troy 3 Tier Dumbbell Rack. There were several options I was looking at, except this one was supposedly 94" and the slightly shorter length was the main...

You mean you can't tell my looking at it? Ha, jk. It's a Rogue Ohio bar.

I'll probably add a Rogue power bar down the line at some point. Maybe after I can start moving more weight than a teenage...

Who'd you buy whey from that has a 5lb tub expiring 2 months after opening?
You'll be fine but that sucks.

WHAT?!? How the heck did you figure that out from seeing two random bars sitting in the corner? You a detective? Lol

Yep, thats the Hampton IB-72CE 6' bar. Not a fan of this bar at all...very...

Man squat shoes seem pretty legit. I'm sure they probably make a bigger difference with the weight you're pushing than where I am currently.

I like my half rack a lot...I was initially going to...

Also, here are some current pictures of my home gym. I posted my gym a few months back when I first got everything (under a different forum handle, but i couldn't remember my password), but I've...

Forgive my ignorance, but are there any benefits to using weight lifting shoes for a relatively new lifter, or does it only start to make more sense when you're pushing serious weight?

My gym is...

Thanks so much for all the links! I checked them all out and spent some time watching youtube videos on the OBB GHR. It does seem like the best out of the bunch, but way too pricey for what it is...

Perfect I'll research the home ghr.... are there any worthwhile alternatives to look at as well or is this one considered the best one?

Wow!! Amazing job man

Thanks to everyone who offered their input and advice. In the end, I decided to go with a lat pulldown. I'm really not trying to get better at sports, or increase my powerlifting number or anything,...
