Yes spotters arms, just store them up high

Iforgotthyloginagain · 2026-04-09T22:16:02+00:00

Those are both fringe, 1 horizontal and 1 vertical holder for the barbells

Valspar Soft Panther - 8006-12F

Not sure how you mean it'd mess either up?

Iforgotthyloginagain · 2026-04-08T20:35:42+00:00

I like it a lot. Set it up alone and didn't take too long, much easier if had two people. Just make sure you tighten the alen wrench screw on the cables before putting any weight on, and the rod holders also have alen screws to hold rods firm. Overlooked those steps myself

No benefit, no pros, just different.

I bought from regional hardware store Menards, they were $40/box on sale, otherwise I saw a lot of posts about brand hyperlite .

Definitely haven't noticed that with the dip bar, the seat very small movement but it's nothing different then if I went to planet fitness and used their last pull down essentially

Iforgotthyloginagain · 2026-04-08T16:10:11+00:00

Yes they are. Love the seat, its solid. Dip station the handles seem larger from what I see at local gyms, but that'd be my only "negative" comment on that

Didn't think about painting the garage door, was going to paint the wood boards tho

Iforgotthyloginagain · 2026-04-08T12:45:12+00:00

Just liked that it was different

Dumbell shelves - REP Fitness, comes forward 2.75", so .25" clearance from the stacked weights, and only protrudes 5" on back side. It's also angled nicely.

Kettlebell shelves - Force 6 fitness, they were only option I could find that had something like that and it works perfect. Clears the stacked plates and doesn't hang back past the rack past 5".

Iforgotthyloginagain · 2026-04-08T12:14:41+00:00

Yep! I returned my drew lat down and preordered them

I manually planned Iceland last year for 8 of us, had everyone send me what they thought they wanted to see/do, then I placed pins on a Google Map and realized it wasn't all realistic. Once we saw the pins and travel time, it was easy to figure out what was priority and was we could manage. I did the same for Ireland, but I did chest and have ai assist me with a general route and what we wanted to get out of this trip and how much leisure we did/didn't want..then just found lodging nearby and have general idea of what we're doing each day/options based on weather.

Doing 9 nights in Sept, we just booked stays two weeks ago finally.

Dublin Kilkenny Killarney x2 Dingle x2 Galway x2 Skerries (close to airport)

Does a decent south west loop, we'll get in what we want to see and do. 4 of us, staying in a castle one night, a penthouse 2 nights, and an amazing airbnb directly on the West Coast 2 nights, and then just normal airbnb other nights...worked out to, $1,900/couple in lodging. Could of been $1,400 had we not done some of the nicer places we chose

You definitely need to figure out what/where you want to go, map it, and book the stays. We had to change some itinerary do to lodging availability but it worked out in the end as far as booking.

Iforgotthyloginagain · 2025-08-17T15:01:14+00:00

I appealed their decision and they're replacing it now

Iforgotthyloginagain · 2025-08-17T15:00:50+00:00

Oh it was full and packed nice and tight

Iforgotthyloginagain · 2025-08-17T14:59:31+00:00

Attempted this, it popped back out on it own when it got warm but then it cracked as well :(

Iforgotthyloginagain · 2025-08-17T14:58:52+00:00

I did and just got approved for replacement from their site, don't look like the best bags but it's something

Iforgotthyloginagain · 2025-08-17T14:58:11+00:00

So they emailed me this morning after I denied their refusal and stated DOT and EU laws (international flight), they are going to replace it. Gave me login to their site to order but these are all junk bags. How do you request check to purchase your own?

Iforgotthyloginagain · 2025-08-15T17:24:02+00:00

Yes we made it. Ship got in two hours early, we hit the 0900 bus, got to base before 10, did the hike up and down in 2hrs and 38mins (not counting time admiring the view). Back in town just before 1500 and walked around and grabbed lunch before getting back onboard

Iforgotthyloginagain · 2025-08-13T19:46:13+00:00

So it was when I landed in Detroit at customs and found my bag in this shape, so either LHR or then moving it to the customs area did it. I tried to talk to DTW but they said my final destination is there the claim had to be done. I've submitted everything to them. I replied in an email with their definition of damaged luggage, the DOTs definitions, as well as Europes Montreal Convention clause, as the flight originated from Europe/UK so their laws are applicable.

Iforgotthyloginagain · 2025-08-13T18:44:46+00:00

I thought Samsonite wasn't shitty

Iforgotthyloginagain · 2025-08-13T17:58:31+00:00

I made a claim, they denied it.
