I have a FLEX lateral raise, it has a very small footprint. Its pretty old,...maybe 20 yrs or so,...Really nice quality. I know FLEX has/had a pretty good rep for their equipment, though you don't...

Smart call on You guys part,...I gouged the daylights out of stairwell entry,...twisted it, turned it, removed the arms,....(they were chest units),...in the end it was like you said,....just wasn't...

I've found I've been able to get most everything into the basement even if it does require some disassembly. The exception was a couple Cybex machines that are kind of triangular in shape and all...

I used the 'First Generation' Nautilus Pullover in the '70s, in college., Really liked using that,...Kinda kept my eye out ever since, one of the last pieces I would add (if I could find room...) ...

I think the water rowers are supposed to simulate genuine rowing, and yeah, I 'think' it works like a fan rower where resistance is determined by your effort. The magnetic resistance is...

I bought a Velocity CHR-2001, magnetic rower. Its really highly rated and super quiet. It used to be in your budget area but since covid they've jacked the price up. I'm happy with mine.

Using vinegar is the same as 'citric acid' right?,...that's what I was going to do....

Gotta agree with Duplicitous and 62Richard,..good equipment lasts pretty much forever,...I've got commercial stuff from 1970,....still just fine. Only thing I do is occasionally lube up the...

I would echo what a lot of these guys said, the ROT-8s are great handles for pulling, I really like them for that,...not so much on press/push.

I used to use the 'first generation' Nautilus Pullover in college. I really liked it then. Over the years my shoulders have become more suspect, and I can see where a pullover machine could be a...

I've used steel wool and elbow grease before,...worked pretty well. Then painted, in some cases, over the spot.
