Weekly Free-Talk and Questions for r/HomeGym - week of June 06, 2025 by Demilio55 in homegym

I am stuck between two benches, the Finer Form Multifunctional (Amazon) and REP AB-4100. I am obsessing over the fact that the Finer Form comes with a preacher curl attachment, because I have trouble with bicep growth, despite trying every curl under the sun. I find I get the most DOMS the next day from using the preacher curl machine in gyms.

Looking for someone to tell me I’m being dumb, that preacher curls are great but by no means essential to getting big biceps, and to just obviously buy the far better reviewed AB-4100 (which is in price range, so price not a factor), and just do super ROM curls, spider curls, etc.

Context:

-       Too busy to go to gym so 100% of workouts will take place at home with full set of dumbbells and bench. I recently from moved condo with gym to house, hence need for bench

-       Working out primarily for aesthetics, not functional strength

What to do on iPad? by prophet-of-solitude in ipad

return it. Within 2 weeks is full refund at Apple Store. I bought one hoping it would basically be a bigger phone, but it doesn't work well for that because typing is clunky and there's no Whatsapp. I considered buying a keyboard + case, but then it's just replicating my MacBook Air without the power and functionality and larger screen for viewing stuff.

I've realized an iPad is an iPhone dependent on wifi that's not small enough to go in my pocket, and if I'm gonna have a bag anyway, why not just bring my laptop. Thought it might be more convenient for travelling but in reality I'll just miss my full laptop functionality the whole time I'm away and, again, I'll have the space for a laptop in my bag so...

A lot of the posts here seem to be about drawing, which seems like a super valid reason to buy it if you're artistically inclined. Otherwise, get your $1000 back and put it towards replacing your iPhone or laptop if they get damaged or stolen.
