    Lat pulldown on cable crossover

    I tried lat pulldown on my cable crossover yesterday. Grab one high handle in each hand, sit on bench in middle, pull in and down. How does this compare to doing a standard lat pulldown with a bar or with closer spaced overhead pulleys? Trying to figure out if buying a lat pulldown is...

    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...

    Boxing Gloves

    I've been thinking i'd like to punch the bags at the gym a bit for fun and fitness (I like to keep my cardio varied).
