I am a recent convert to Starting Strength and Barbell training, having used dumbbells and multi-stations for years (not always correctly either). I have found this forum to be a great resource, especially for equipment advice. My first power rack is on the way and yes, I made the mistake of...

Hello all,
I'm assisting my gym in selecting new pieces of equipment for later this year.
We've already decided on a new powercage, plate loaded shoulder press and 45 degree leg press.
I'm trying to get us a specific standing calve raise machine. However the only one I can find from Matrix...

What makes your local gym special that you stay there instead of going to a big chain? Is it just the ambiance? Being able to grunt and make other loud noises while you workout? Is there some special piece of equipment that big chain gyms don't have?

Ok so the story goes I was intending to build a garage and deck it out the gym equipment. This never happened and the oly bar and wights have been sitting in my study for display. The 2 x 25 plates are still in original box and the other weights are stacked in the corner of my study. I have put...

THE nation’s obsession with beating the bulge in 2015 is costing more than ever before.
The Suncorp Bank Cost of Being Fit report, released today, showed Australians spend at least $8.5 billion a year on gym memberships, sports equipment and the latest fitness fads — this equates to about $2340...
Hi all,
Just wondering whether anyone had any first hand experience with these guys?
Their prices on bars, bumpers, ghds, racks and everything else looks great. The rack I'm looking at has no real detailed photos so it's hard to tell anything about the quality.
They also sell the same half...

My gym is currently in the process of a large expansion and I talked to the Manager about getting some proper powerlifting equipment. He's asked me to write an email to the Owner explaining why. Looking for help with the positive side of purchasing some PL gear, ie Monolift, Comp Bench...
Anyone ever seen any piece of gym equipment fail?
A cable snap while someone was doing seated rows or tricep push downs? An adjustable bench collapse or power cage/j hooks fail?
Haven't seen any personally myself.
Twice I have seen an adjustable bench collapse from upright to flat, but that was...
Just something in the gym that you think could be designed better, something you use but wish you didn't have to, or something that just exists and wish it didn't.
A great article by my hero Dr Ken Liestner part 62 of "the history of powerlifting"
in this article is a rant on Cross-fit and the mis-understood use of machines and "assistance" exercise in powerlifting circles.
hope you enjoy it.

Hey guys,
Has anyone had any experience with Aussie Strength Equipment? I ordered some lock-jaw clips from them a month back and haven't received them yet. Is this supposed to be normal?
Tried contacting them via email and facebook but I'm not sure if I'm getting through or not. Just wanted to...
This is mainly out of curiosity What do you as gym goers wish your had equipment wise? Whats your favorite equipment at your gym? And finally what equipment does your gym have that you find useless?
The fitness industry is filled with rip-off infomercials , diet fads .what have you thrown your hard earned money away on, that ended up,under the bed, in a closet, given away, put in a garage sale or dumpster?
First thread on ausbb after just browsing the forums for past couple months. Have been working hard and am keen on purchasing some home gym equipment, as I only have those 24/7 gyms accessible to me. Budget is around $500-$1000
Any ideas on where to start? Help would be much appreciated :)
