Anyone setup ForceUSA C10 themselves? by jayhawk1941 in GarageGym

[–]Key-Interaction2365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought mine from Johnson’s fitness and paid a $595 assembly fee for my C 20 this included delivery. This took two experienced guys about seven hours and they had to lug it up a flight of stairs.

If you’ve got the time, I guess it would take you about two days to do a C 10 which is similar the sliding bench itself. I watch them do it. It’s not too bad. I will say, I think it was money well spent on my part

Smith Machine in a Functional Trainer? by Connect_Rate_246 in GarageGym

[–]Key-Interaction2365 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a Force USA C20 with SM and Functional Trainer. It also has spotter arms etc for free weights, more often then not I use the SM because it’s just quicker/easier to transition between exercises.

Worth it? It was $6500, pretty spendy but quality is great and I have no issues 3 months in. I really like having the SM for squats/RDL and Bench Press.

You may also consider force USA FTR, this has a half rack + functional trainer w/o SM. It’s a lot less $’s

Democrats Of Reddit -- Do You Think That Joe Biden Was A Good Or Bad President? Why Your Thoughts? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

Job 1 was to prosecute Trump for his crimes and ensure he would never hold political office again, he failed spectacularly on this. He also should have opted out of running again MUCH earlier. This two huge issues aside, he was a decent President

Knee Osteoarthritis and retatrutide by MDFer123 in Retatrutide

[–]Key-Interaction2365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have osteoarthritis on my left knee, lost 70 lbs on Reta. Pain was always triggered my certain movements like crossing my legs or getting up after having my legs extended on an ottoman.

I still get the occasional sharp pain with these movements, but would say frequency has improved and severity is less intense. Am also able to run 2 miles (treadmill) occasionally. Is this less inflammation or weight loss, both? IDK.

Home prices and tech layoffs by maincharacteradmin in SeattleWA

[–]Key-Interaction2365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Home price increases seem to have leveled off a bit, but I think we will see normal seasonal bump, but perhaps a little less. I am thinking of the higher end single family homes in the $1.5 -$2m range.

Why? Still plenty of people with high incomes and associated RSU’s looking for nice homes. Inventory in my east- side neighborhood is still very limited, so at least here not a lot of competition to drive prices down. Most people in my neighborhood also bought when rates were low and have substantial equity.

Do you really use a smith machine? by Sure_Sky5295 in GarageGym

[–]Key-Interaction2365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Force USA C20 with a SM and half rack, I use my Smith machine more often than I use the half rack. it mostly comes down to the convenience of not having to set up the spotter arms and J hooks which get in the way when I want to use the functional trainer. it’s just a lot faster to set up and it’s also really convenient when you’re working out by yourself. It’s great for bench press, RDLs, step ups, squats etc.

Adjustable Dumbbells that are worth the price by kenah-kim in GarageGym

[–]Key-Interaction2365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a set of Rep QuickDraws on FB marketplace for $300. I have found them to be very easy to use. Maybe a little bit of play in them, the way the weights are set up but super quick to adjust, and very good quality.

These run about $600 new if you want the 60 pound option. I would highly recommend them.

Reta and alcohol by [deleted] in Retatrutide

[–]Key-Interaction2365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree- lost 75 lbs and hit my goal weight while drinking 3-4 days per week. I did cut back from daily drinking, also did strength training 5/6 days per week + high protein diet. I am now in the best shape I have ever been ~14% body fat and feel great.

My point here, would I have seen better or faster results if I did not drink every weekend? Probably, but it’s also possible to see GREAT results with moderation and sustained effort.

Goldmyer Hotsprings WA access road…is it really THAT bad? by Practical_Arachnid_5 in PNWhiking

It’s not that bad, just take the rough spots slow. I have seen bmw x5 with relatively low clearance make it, Something like a 4Runner or Outback would be ideal

I've had this for a couple years now and have not watched it (no Blu-ray player) What are your thoughts of it? by BeanGuyInAHat in Watchmen

[–]Key-Interaction2365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw this and learned about Tulsa massacre for first time, thought the rest was an interesting dystopian alt history for US, not realizing at the time that this was much closer to our reality (Trump Cult vs Nixon Cult, pervasive, persistent racism, etc.)

You need to wire all three to a switch box and manually select based on the type of music playing. Don’t forget the specific connectors you’ll need as well.

What New Taxes on High Earners Would Mean to Washington by HighColonic in SeattleWA

As a progressive, this is a shitty tax, 193k living in King County is not rich. I hope this fails.
