The squat racks at my gym are usually pretty packed, but the Smith machine is eternally empty, save for the one guy who does calf raises once in a blue moon. My question is what else could I use a smith machine for, and is it a significant downgrade from the unassisted squat rack?

What's up everyone. I wanted to get the opinions on you well educated folks to see what your thoughts are on the Kabuki Transformer bar. I'm considering purchasing a blemished version so I can get it quicker. The best review I've seen on Youtube was from The Kurtlocker. Other than Coop and the...

Hi, I recently bought a 71’ T2 Titan power rack, and was curious as to if anyone has ever messed around with the mono-lift attachment or the safety straps? From what I understand, the monolift (never used one before) can serve as something of a spotter for benching/squatting? Not sure if it’s...

Hi everyone, I've found several threads on the same topic but most of them are posted in 2015 or earlier and I'm thinking perhaps there are more options now? Used Cybex 5435 seems to be the best choice for someone like me but it's hard to come by so I'm looking into other options, preferably...

After seeing videos of the Torque and XPO sleds, there's no way I would want to deal with the hassles of more traditional sleds. With wheeled sleds that have internal resistance, there's virtually no noise to annoy you or your neighbors, no damage to your driveway, no need to load up sled with 45lb...

One of the cables on my Weider machine lost about a foot of its sheath. I inspected the exposed steel cable, and it's fine. The braid isn't frayed. I'm concerned about the exposed section wearing down the nylon pulleys. Any suggestions for replacing the missing sheath? Would electrical or duct...

Anyone here squat with wedges to elevate heels? Looking for recommendations on a pair to buy. Thanks

Basement Brandon reviewed Irwin Fitness Roller J-Cups and they look pretty great. I checked out their site and the monolift attachment and adjustable bench caught my eye as well. It looks like they put a lot of thought into their products and have good build quality. Not cheap and shipping from...

Hi all, Looking at a Body-Solid Powerline PFT100 Functional Trainer, anyone got or use one? I want to know if it is worth buying or not, rather spend a bit more if it is not the best! Thanks all!

I'm used to benching off of a standard 12" pad but contemplating making the jump to a 14" wide pad. I don't expect to magically press more weight, but I'm under the impression most people like the wide pads better. What's your experience? I'm not currently experiencing shoulder issues but I...

I got some dumbbells and I find myself getting stronger. I don't know how strong I can get I been training at home for about 4 months and don't plan to go to a gym. The problem is lack of dumbbells for each body part. I don't have much space, so not planning to use a barbells. Still able to hit...

FYI they are running 15% off their benches and attachments thru 9/2 per their IG page I may pull the trigger on the redesigned bench and try one out. 30 day returns with free return shipping if not satisfied seems like nothing to lose. Super Benches and Attachments 15% off with Free Shipping...

Review: Pepin Dumbbell adjustable pro-style dumbbell handles https://www.dumbbellpepin.com/ I'm reviewing the Pepin Dumbbell adjustable pro-style dumbbell handles. I've had them for a couple months now and I'm ready to give my thoughts and opinions. For those that don't know, these are...

Something in the $350 range. Looking for adjustable positions. The one I have now seems to be a little to tall for me. My feet don’t plant on the floor like I want so Im looking for a upgrade. Any recommendations?

The one pictured here specifically: https://fitstrength.com/strength-equipment/reversebackextension.htm Seems like the bio-mechanics of it could be really different than others but not sure if that's the case and if it is a good or bad machine or just not as good as a traditionally design. May...

I workout in my bedroom with dumbbells and have limited space. Can anyone recommend a quality compact workout bench that folds up? Preferably I'd like to have one with adjustable incline and decline bench setting.
