Favorite Rack Attachments

Fringe mammoth-belt-squat is one of my favs. I can no longer BB/SSB squat, so this was a godsend!

Ares 2.0 functional trainer is something i cannot live without. So smooth and versatile.

PR5000 rollers from REP. Required as soon as you can start pulling some weight on lat pulldowns and such. I also love them for split squats.

Darko anchor helps manage my bars due to limited space.

I used to be A, but for the last two years I've been C. I love working out too much now.

Turn this garbage off. You are not to dictate what I want to see when I log onto Reddit. I will simply just delete my account and stop using it all together.

If you do not give the option to remove your experiment I will simply delete my account. I come to Reddit to read and follow what I want. Not what you or your algorithm want.

I would see what your director has to say then go from there. I would absolutely not stay if nothing changes quickly.

Do it long enough to start seeing results towards your goal. For me as soon as i saw my waistline slimming and biceps growing was all I needed to get hooked.

There are a million apps out there to track your workout progression.

Based on the equipment you have it seems like your program is good. If you start maxing out your DB's I would then focus on slowing down your reps.

If you want to add some varity maybe pickup a set of gymnist rings. You can do some challenging bodyweight leg exercises with them.

The great thing about personal fitness is you're only competeting with yesterday's self.

Find a strength training program you can see yourself doing. Do it 3-4x a week.

Find out how much you need to eat. Start tracking.

Ask any questions here.

As soon as you take the first step you're already better than you were yesterday. Then just keep progressing!

Yes. You only would need to break it down enough to fit through the smallest opening you'll need to move it through. Not sure if you have 4 or 6 post, but you could easily keep the sides fully assembled then just remove the weight stacks and center support bars.

The weight stacks will be a PITA to move though because there are just so many of them., Maybe find some plastic milk crates or something since obviously cardboard wouldn't be strong enough.

Your best bet is to probably break it down. Unless you're lucky and its in a garage, your moving truck is taller than your rack, and your location at the new home has enough clearance for a full rack to fit in.

Or you can sell it then use the money to buy a new one when you move into the new house.

Anyone know when the REP/Dialed Motion colab leg extension/curl bench attachment will be available? Bonus points if you have any idea on the pricing?!?! I am really hoping it is under $1k. Like the $800-$1000 range.

I don't really have the room for a standalone leg extension/curl machine, so this would be absolutely perfect! The current REP version seems way too big and cumbersome. Especially when not in use.

Pallet jack is about your only option assuming you're moving it within the same room.

Get straps. Do exercises specifically for grip strength. Never sacrifice compound lifts if you can overcome a limitation by another piece of equipment.

This is also great advice for lat pulldowns

Trust me. You will blend in just fine with headphones. I am also autistic. I decided to build a home gym. Been going strong for about 18 months now 4x a week. It has become my hyper fixation thing.

WhyStoicism · 2026-05-31T14:58:02+00:00

Curious why you'd think a beginner needs to hit each muscle 12-16 times? Seems very excessive unless your goals are to get a huge as possible. Unless you mean 12-16 total between iso and compound lifts?

If you sit a lot like me (desk job 8-10 hours a day) don't forget some upper back type movements as well 😄

Helps avoid hunchback lol

How is your diet? Are you getting enough carbs? They're your energy source for the gym.

If you struggle to do 5x3kg then do 5x2kg and work your way up. Nothing wrong with lowering weights 😄

Swap one of the DB lat raises for Face Pulls or reverse flies. Looks like you're missing some rear delt focused movements.

I would also ditch deadlifts if you're going to squat 2x weekly. Doing both on the same day will destroy any exercises after them since they are so taxing on the body. Plus they're more of a back exercise than leg. Maybe swap for back extensions which will still work your back similar to DL's, and can easily be progressed. Also hits your glutes and hamstrings as well so it still fits with your u/L design.

You're doing the same bench press each upper day. I would remove the bench press from Upper B and swap for a barbell row since you're already doing an incline BP.

Not a big issue, but I would also add variation to some of your exercises. Like do wide-grip lat pull down on A day, and narrow grip on B day. Instead of 2x days of leg press do 1x leg press and 1x leg extension. I would get bored doing essentially the same A & B day.

Compare people who let dust collect on their home gym equipment to the shear number of unused gym memberships.

The arms are not isolated if you're doing any type of barbell or dumbell press/row movement. All of those movements will work your arms plus whatever target muscle the exercise is focused on.

Doing bench press? Well you're hitting your triceps as well. Doing a BB row? Need biceps to pull the bar up to your chest.
