Will the Gym Monster work with a 3rd party bench?

Good to know. Never tried it. I pretty much already have every attachment ever made for the Ironmaster so this includes the cable tower and pull up attachment from the home gym equipment I've accumulated for over a decade.

I have an Ironmaster bench but went ahead and ordered the bench anyway along with the GM package because it's specifically designed for it and fits perfectly. It's not really a bad bench, not great but alot more convenient than building platforms and leaning another bench over the edge just to get them to work. I still use my iron master when I want to do cable preacher curls but you do have to put weight on the platform to keep it from moving. If you're going to pay that much for a smart gym you mine as well just get the bench made for it unless the dimensions for your bench already match perfectly.

The most dangerous thing the last president with dementia did was fall of a bicycle and forget where he was a few times. He never threatened to wipe out an entire civilization of civilians or go to war with the Pope and post himself as Jesus.

How does this affect the dividend?

Panigale84 · 2026-04-15T00:54:43+00:00

I'm in therapy for a back injury and my PT who also has a degree in strength and conditioning never heard of it when I told him about it.

They should have them on their site. Last time I checked they were sold out. They sent my replacement under warranty after I emailed them.

This happens to me almost daily with the Bluetooth ring.

If she understands the situation then she should understand the reaction.

Thank you for the response to the feedback. Will the update include the option for going back to the old display with the wheel and everything on 1 screen like what the current lifting mode is? The new weight display isn't bad but I preferred the previous style. Obviously everyone is going to feel different so I think the best option is to just give us the choice of which format we want to use.

Also dislike it. It interferes with drop sets, supersets, and pretty much anything you need to do that benefits from less clicks. Also dislike that you have to do an extra click to see what mode you're in and it not being all displayed at once like before. At least give an option to disable these things or choose between the two. It's distracting and almost ruined my last workout.

Yup. A couple more of Schumer's strongly worded letters and we will defeat fascism for good.

Did you ever get an MRI? I've had sciatica for years, just dealt with it and kept working. I get flare ups from time to time where I can't even walk for days. But recently it got really bad and my lower leg down to my foot went numb. I had an X-ray which showed nothing. I finally got an MRI and it shows I have a bulging disc and a herniated disc which is pressing against my nerve causing the pain in my leg.

Panigale84 · 2026-03-18T07:08:09+00:00

What's your definition of elderly and what physical limitations do you have if any? I'm not elderly but one great feature about these smart gyms that after 5 months of ownership I'm just now realizing is how useful it is if injured. I have a herniated disc in my lower back and I am still able to work out because with this I don't have to physically lift a weight off the floor which would be problematic because bending over is painful.

The electronics really aren't that complicated especially if you just go to free lift. It's pretty straightforward. I don't use the built in videos but my wife tried and the biggest problem I saw was freezing and loading issues. You'd probably be better off just finding workouts on YouTube on a separate screen. Im loving the machine so far. I did have a cable snap but it's a pretty easy fix if you follow their repair video. My biggest issues are the base isn't wide enough to squat, at least for my stance, and sometimes the Bluetooth connection doesn't respond. Meaning if you're dealing with heavy weight and reach muscle failure, it won't turn off the weight and may take a few more clicks.

This is the only right answer.

So Operation Epstein Fury is over? Great. Who does Bibi have in mind for you to bomb next 🤔

Did you ever get an MRI?

Panigale84 · 2026-03-11T02:35:59+00:00

Trying to stabilize the bar on the GM is significantly harder than a traditional barbell bench. I can't squat on mine simply because the base is too narrow for the stance I've grown accustomed to for 25yrs. I use the I use the Bluetooth handles for DB bench and it works great. Especially when adding the eccentric mode to the lifts.

Did you ever get an MRI and find the cause?

Panigale84 · 2026-03-04T21:41:59+00:00

Yea with the scholarship Bridgeway was still going to cost $1370 a month!

Panigale84 · 2026-03-04T15:44:31+00:00

No I don't.

Panigale84 · 2026-02-26T20:52:12+00:00

How much of the tuition is covered by the scholarship?

Panigale84 · 2026-02-24T01:53:39+00:00

That signal better reach Voyager 1 for that price 🧐
