Recognizing this is an old thread, hoping Biggerfoot is still using this rack. I was wondering if he could tell me what the hole spacing (centre-to-centre) is for the rear bottom crossmember that...

Hi, for anyone who has used the York FTS lat pulldown machine, can you comment on the range of motion. I am 6'1". The website says its only 83" high so not sure if range of motion is an issue (like...

Hi,

I came across this and was wondering if anyone had this measurement (i.e. from the top of the lat pulldown seat to the lat pulldown attachment - see picture) for the Ironmaster Cable V2...

Hi, I believe Powertec made a white colored rack previously but does anyone have one or can confirm around what year these were made. Also, if anyone has one, can they confirm whether the newer...

How do you like the calf raise? I believe that is the model where the base plate (where the balls of your foot rest) pivot as you go through the range of motion. I always thought that was a good idea...

Thanks. Ended up buying them on Amazon. For anyone interested, it was around $14CAD for 4 plates on Amazon.ca but pricing swings daily (Amazon lists the plates at over 2x the price now but it changes...

Hi, Has anyone tried using regular Cap standard 1.25lb cast iron plates on the Ironmaster dumbbell handles to get increments of 2.5lbs? I assume it fits and works fine but has anyone tried and can...

They appear to follow the general idea of Ironmaster handles but for standard plates. When I think of it like that, the price isn't that bad (as it still costs less than Ironmaster handles).

I ordered my bench on Aug 14 from an authorized seller in Canada. I assume mine is new stock since they were previously sold out for a few months and quickly went back to out of stock after I made...

I used a step bit to drill 5/8” hole in 11 gauge 3”x2” uprights using a hand drill. Worked fine but it does take a while. Before I started I read that you have to drill slowly to preserve the step...

That's correct. The old Northern Lights line used the same triangle support plates with same hole spacing for a lot of their products so I just installed the plate holder upright on the corner of...

Thought I would share this quick hack. I recently bought a used 5ft (59" actual measurement) ez-curl bar. Its not rackable but I rest the sleeves of the bar on my power rack safeties to do inclined...

Thanks. I don't see any peeling (even where the rust was the worst) but will keep a look out for that.

I ended up using 3-in-one oil but otherwise did what you suggested. Spent less than 1 hr and it looks way better now. In the pictures, left side is the original bar and right side is after cleaning....

Thanks for the advice. Can you clarify whether you suggest using the brush with the rust inhibitor sprayed on at the same time, or using the spray as protection only after all the rust is removed?

Hi,

I recently bought a used ez-curl bar. No idea what brand it is but based on my own measurements, its 60" inches long, 30mm grip width and weighs 32lbs (perhaps nominal weight would be 30lbs)....

Hi, hoping to tap into the wealth of knowledge in this forum to see if anyone can identify this ez curl bar? The ends look somewhat unique. Thanks.

I have the 73UL and really like the knurling over the bolt-on cheaper bars.

This has happened to me once with just the collars (i.e. 10lb dumbbell configuration) when I first started to use them. My collars can lock within the 11 to 1 oclock position with no plates and while...

Thanks. I pretty much have all the basics so a curl bar is next on the list as an accessory item. I would rather buy once (within reason) and forget about it than try some lower end bars first.

I...
