Let's get this show back on the road!

This arrived yesterday:

Rucking up to 35 lbs. should keep me...

Thought the forums were a goner. Glad to see them back!

In the meantime I sold my C2 rower and, just yesterday, got the bar out of the basement and did some re-arranging. There's now room for the...

According to one of the coaches I follow on X, it provides greater activation from bicep stretch than incline DB curls.

Is there really enough difference in activation between the two to make a leg sled worth the additional investment?

I'm probably going to acquire one. Probably PowerTec.

Yes, I do expect it'll be a higher-volume thing. I don't think I'm likely to exceed its load bearing capabilities ;)

No surprise they'd tell you not to do it. I would've expected nothing else. Imagine: You do it, something breaks, now you come back at them with "You told me it would be ok." They're not going to...

I volunteered. Even filled out the form. They ignored me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I rarely bother looking beyond the pinned threads anymore, due to the oft-unaddressed spam.

Cool. Enough ROM for somebody 6'4" tall with a 36" inseam do you think?


Hmmm... That might be annoying.


I wouldn't be worried about that either. Even the Powertec, limited to 700 lbs.,...

How do you like that Body-Solid compact leg sled, grumpytude?

I'm still debating with myself over acquiring the preacher curl attachment for my IM bench. I used to like doing cable preacher curls at my old gym, though, so maybe...


Incline DB curls are...

I've been having the same thought of late.

Air chuck? https://www.LinxNet.com/misc/smilies/confused.gif


Yeah, I recall when you got that. The reason I like the V-Press is the back support.

What I'd really like to have is one of these...

Being 6'4" tall: This is a concern for me, too. I have read the Body-Solid GLPH1100 hack squat/leg press machine is suitable for taller people. The way that Syedee V-Squat machine works I can't see...

Don't really want to acquire another machine, but I'm not getting the kind of leg development I'd like to see out of squats and TBDLs and I've two people possibly interested in my rower. So I may...

Looking at the assembly video it's hard to see how that plate could have that much wobble, unless the tolerances on that hardware are really sloppy.

It looks like that plate adjustment is a combo...

Wow. I briefly looked at the other review videos and saw none of that. I wonder if he got something wrong in the assembly?

I'll have to look at the others again. And the assembly video--to see...

I like that V-Squat machine! It's big, though. Nearly six feet long.

To each their own, but...

After loads of research I finally went with a Titan X-3 short squat stand and safety spotter arms. I'm glad I did. I love the confidence I can have that I'll never in a...

I'm using Lock Jaw barbell collars on my bars. A lot easier to deal with than the spring collars.
