    How long did it take before you could lift your own weight in a workout

    Took me about 3 months to go from weighing 135kg to 95kg and benching 50kg (never benched before) to 100kg back when I was about 25. Squats I haven't done a full squat at current bodyweight (110), deadlift I could lift more than bodyweight on my first attempt. (just) Sent from my GT-I9505...

    Setup my Ghd on the weekend from. Iron edge, pretty straightforward to assemble, really solid. I moved the knee pad back to the third set of holes as that felt better with my long legs. Machine is fantastic for back extensions and although I such at them seems good for glute ham raises (I...

    Cheap Cable Crossover

    I have a cheapy from fitness and strength that cost $525, concrete in vinyl weights, but it's holding up and i'd say it's 80% as good as the the 2k functional trainers for most purposes. Looks the same as the one you linked to but grey and I tried it out in person before buying (there are a...

    The iron edge bench is very secure and reasonably heavy, I'm 110kg and it doesn't feel in any way flimsy to me. There is some gap, which is one of the reasons I have the seperate flat bench, but it's not obnoxious. In general I think it's a pretty decent bench. Sent from my GT-I9505 using...

    I'm also probably replacing the body iron pec/delt with the upright body solid version of the same at some point, it's just not a great fit to my body geometry, (so if anyone if melb wants to buy the body iron one :) Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

    I'm almost certainly getting the iron edge GHR, it's really solid, has helpful reverse Hyper handles (and band attachment points). But i'll be picking it up from the show room. Swiss bar is good but not perfect. You may find its unwieldy for triceps pressing, it's a long 30 kg bar and...

    Linear bearing vs roller leg press

    It's looking like the cyber fit might be a struggle to load enough weight with standard rubber coated plates.... So I might be stuck with rollers on my budget anyway Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

    Based on inspiration from gettingbigger's layout with lots of space I moved a few things round. Planning GHR to replace the Hyper this weekend, leg press (where bikes are) and seated calf in back corner. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

    It looks much more open than my roughly 47sq m shed, I might need to look at some alternative layouts I think :) Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

    Linear bearing vs roller leg press

    If Kaz or anybody does happen to head that way I'd love to hear how smooth either of these are, range of motion, and any signs of binding. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

    Linear bearing vs roller leg press

    I'm looking at leg press options, I like the look of the powertec (4 bars to load weight, compact) but it's not linear bearing. The only 'cheap' linear bearing model appears to be the cyber fit... Has anybody tried these machines out (they are both in Sydney only or I'd just pop in a try...

    Finally brought a house - Bring on the home gym!

    It's a $1000 unit isn't it? But separately from that where do you add the plates? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 4

    Anyone know where to buy this low pulley/leg press sled attachment?

    Until you can leg press a sensible amount like 200kg.... Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 4
