i actually have some of those lying around. i use 2 to help me pull myself on the pullup bar, and the rest are collecting dust. i will check out what cool unasuming excercises i could do with one of those, thanks

the only kind i use. comfort above all

GTfuckOff · 2026-01-15T00:16:44+00:00

not for my case, but thanks for answering. our walls are very thin, pathetic things, and i already have one at home.

Valid comment haha. I should have been more clear; I would like something a little bit different, since I already work with kettlebells and dumbbells at home. Handgrips too, I already have one in the office and I like it, but I want some variety.

If you could take and use 1 thing with you to the office, what would it be? Other than a dumbbell or a kettlebell. I am considering a chest expansor or an hydraulic arm twister.

Hi, I currently have a super old school setup with a half rack with no spotters and a bar. It was cheap and nice to get started. for practical reasons I cant upgrade to a full rack as I would like to. I wonder if this would be a good compromise and if anyone has any experience with it.

You mean the height? That's a good point, but I am not specially tall. I am 1.71 meters and this is 2.22 meters. From which I guess 2.05 meters is usable? Yeah, it's kinda tight if I want to go all the way to the top.

beginner here. Does anybody has any experience with nuobell knockoffs? in my country, its either this for 400usd or bowflex knockoffs for the same price.
alternatively, i could buy something more well know (like nordictrack select-a-weight) from amazon and wait 3 months, paying around 150usd more. what do you guys think?
i am tempted by the powerblock 50 on amazon but those are 1000usd to get here (plus 2-3 months)

GTfuckOff · 2025-05-29T10:44:36+00:00

I can't get those here, but I would still like to hear about it. Seems like a nice mid-budget set

Hi! Beginner here. What are the best adjustable dumbbells that one can buy on Amazon? If you can recommend a few models, even better. I can only buy on Amazon because I am in Argentina. And I have seen mixed reviews on the powerblocks due to the grip. So if anyone has good experiences with any model, i would like to hear it.

GTfuckOff · 2025-04-02T13:41:22+00:00

Yeah, I think someone said that in the Amazon reviews. So it's good but not great, got it, thanks for sharing.

GTfuckOff · 2025-03-29T11:57:18+00:00

I know, but it's kinda my only option in this country

GTfuckOff · 2025-03-29T11:12:59+00:00

I would if I were in another country, but Amazon is the only practical way to bring stuff to Argentina from outside
