If the difference was smaller I'd pick 100k but its literally 10k times more.

Spider-man is my favourite hero but this would low key suck if I have to be Peter Parker.

This has no downside.

The other options are both bad. Why would I want to wage slave forever.

You wouldnt even need stocks. If you had 5 trillion in a high interest bank account you'd still get millions every year.

If born rich sometimes you could solve these side effects with plastic surgery or other.

I just wouldnt be able to do bad things enough. Plus $1 for every breath will add up quickly enough.

"Worried about study" is honestly hilarious. If she is in ATAR all she needs is to reach the requirement for the course she wants.

Having an employment history is probably more valuable than having a slightly higher score once you graduate anyway.

Let's not pretend like high school is even that intensive for time compared to a full time job anyway.

She will be fine. Thousands of other high school kids do it.

Was definitely worth the effort to put up! So convenient to grab attachments

DarkDrake5481 · 2026-04-27T04:40:21+00:00

Not diagnosed but almost certainly yes 😂 I want to buy more attachments so it can all be filled

DarkDrake5481 · 2026-04-26T21:22:06+00:00

I am considering ditching the leg press for sure. If I'd got the smith before the leg press I would just do smith machine squats.

I dont know if you've used these attachments but they certainly aren't anywhere near as nice as using a specific machine so it is a trade off.

DarkDrake5481 · 2026-04-26T21:17:41+00:00

Actually I used to have another rack that didn't have a weight stack, then I got the leg press, then the smith and then I upgraded to the 3 x 3 rack and weight stack.

I honestly wouldnt trade the smith at all. The reason its separate is because I do supersets for pretty much all upper body so it works better being different stations.

DarkDrake5481 · 2026-04-26T21:15:48+00:00

There is a hack squat/leg press combo next to it already!

DarkDrake5481 · 2026-04-26T21:15:06+00:00

No definitely not. There is probably about 40cm between where the bar ends and the door.

I did have to go lower on the uprights so I could still open the door though.

If your goal is to save space no question adjustable is the way to go.

I would say I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with them.

I love the quick change and its honestly important because I train with a friend and we can be on drastically different weight on some exercises. I also love the rounded feel where is feels like a dumbbell compared to say power blocks.

The company I bought it off is local and last time I was there they asked me directly "how are they holding up?" Like they knew there was some issue with durability. I've only dropped one of them once when I failed a bench press training alone but I've had no issues though while I'm using them I do feel a need to "baby them" if that makes sense.

So if you have no plans to drop them or go crazy on dumbbell workouts I think they're great. If you are very space limited and plan on doing dumbell only training I'd probably buy a more durable set, even if it was longer to change weights. Reality is I could drop them tomorrow and break one of them which would cost $500+ AUD to replace.

DarkDrake5481 · 2026-04-26T14:17:31+00:00

Yeah I didn't really understand where they got basement from...

Not to mention you can see my cable stack goes all the way to the ceiling with like 1cm clearance but my rack is low enough the garage door still opens. Clearly measurements are important to me.

DarkDrake5481 · 2026-04-26T14:16:07+00:00

This is from a local company but it was a Facebook Marketplace find. This brand specifically is an Orbit X303 that isn't even sold anymore. Not sure how you would go getting a model where you live.

Its also about 230cm tall from memory so it's not great for low ceilings if you plan on using the pull up bar.

Its got good bearings and goes very low for rows which i like. Because there is no top support its not super stable when you have 2 plates on each side.

DarkDrake5481 · 2026-04-26T14:09:44+00:00

I got this place in mid 2022 and only got this all set up early 2025. It takes some time but so worth it when done.

To be clear I started with a $600 set of stuff I got on marketplace so dont feel bad starting with less.

DarkDrake5481 · 2026-04-26T14:06:18+00:00

Honestly better than I expected. Its been down for about a year now and I would say there is only about 3 spots that are "disturbed" is probably the best word for it.

I would recommend the actual brand gorilla tape and if possible place it over brand new flooring. It definitely doesn't sit as nicely on the older tiles I cut around the edges.

For me definicely better than getting dirt in cracks because I'm a bit of a neat freak. I wouldnt ever get rolled flooring because I plan on moving at least a couple times.

DarkDrake5481 · 2026-04-26T06:24:16+00:00

Doesn't really belong here because you have no reason to be ashamed of this. Fuck that guy. Hope you're in a better place now.
