    Looks ok for a beginner... It doesn't look very solid or stable. What are the dimensions on the tubing?

    The Sign of Strength?

    Personally I think The squat is the biggest test of strength and I say that when I'm a much better deadlifter than I am a squatter.

    Home Gym Dud Purchases

    I bought a Hyperextension branded smith machine when I didn't know any better... It stayed in the box for three or so weeks before realizing I should have bought a rack instead. I sold the smithy and bought a Powertec rack package and have never looked back. Also, upgraded my bar not long ago...

    Bench advice

    You've answered your own question... The IM bench is superior to the other bench you've mentioned. Also, I own an IM bench and it's easily the best bench I've used. It's stable, light enough to maneuver around other equipment, has decline, incline, flat and everything in-between. Also has...

    adding life to old equipment

    I was literally gonna buy the stuff you mentioned but got steered into the other direction. Sounds very similar to the stuff I bought anyway. What are the machines you posted? I seriously have no idea what they are.

    adding life to old equipment

    I wanted the rack hammer tone as it has that old school "I've had a hard life" look to it. The barbells are getting painted pink as hopefully my gf will actually do some squats then as it wont look intimidating ;) (and I wont be using the bars anyway, I have a Texas PL bar and a Hercules WL bar).

    adding life to old equipment

    I used a wire brush to get the flaking rust off, then used White Knight Rust Guard (it prevents further rusting and primes it for painting) and now I'm waiting until Saturday to paint it. Any suggestions on colours? I'm thinking hammer tone grey for the rack, black for the plates, safeties and...

    J hooks, pins, etc - Where to buy?

    I got the J hooks off today by "tapping" them with a sledge hammer :p I'm going to take them somewhere to get them made into the ones that hug the frame.

    Wouldn't dumbbell flies hit the inner chest? My understanding is that's why people do them.

    J hooks, pins, etc - Where to buy?

    As mentioned in another thread, I've bought an old school Gold's Gym power cage. I'm looking for some J hooks or similar as the ones it come with a pretty badly rusted and are actually stuck to the cage so I may need to remove them via sledge hammer. I've tried my Powertec one but they're too...
