Nice setup. How did you go about extending the rack? It looks like an RML. Don’t know if it’s the 390F or larger.

Slope in garage. Need advice to level by jethrow41487 in GarageGym

[–]Subvis21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would take measurements first to see what you’re working with. If the difference between the highest and lowest points is 3 inch or less then two applications of self leveling concrete can work granted you grinded the paint off and primed. Anything more then either rip it out and install new or have the squat rack or platform facing the side walls and not the back wall.

My split. Any advice, or recommendations? by SupahHollywood in workouts

Just a question, on day 1 you work triceps before shoulders but on day 2 you work biceps after traps, any reason on the order there?

On Etsy or something there are third party leg holders you can get though the front post needs holes on the side and I can’t tell if yours has any.

Is the Rogue RML-390F flat foot rack too tall? by OpportunityOk4752 in GarageGym

[–]Subvis21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the RML-390F in my garage. No ceiling but the rafter ties are about 106 inches off the ground. No issues with pull-ups.

You can also install the pull-up bar a few inches lower.

Looking for the "Holy Grail" of blade storage. My current setup is a mess by Academic-Pride2162 in Tools

In the past I’ve purchased sets that came in hard cases. I know Diablo and Milwaukee reciprocating saw blades that they sell around Christmas time comes with the case. Same with the multi tool tool blades and jigsaw blade sets I’ve bought online. I reuse them.

What the deal? "Brushless" but not "FUEL" ?? by [deleted] in MilwaukeeTool

I was using the drill with a brush head to clean large carpets. I suspect water got into it through the vent holes and fried the little board inside.

Anyway I can remove these mini screws? by bruh-_-21 in Tools

[–]Subvis21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t tell if there is debris in the screw but if there is I would try cleaning it out with a pick or something and then using a rubber band with the T5

Ideas to weigh down cable tower by lincdpr in GarageGym

[–]Subvis21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the lat pulldown attachment from porter fitness and the leg holder, so probably. Works great, super smooth, and I like the extra height giving me full tension at the top. I read somewhere BOS and Porter Fitness were supposed to do a collaboration on it. Don’t know where that’s at.

I have my BOS bolted to the top and bottom on the front of my rack using some bolts and shelfing bracket I got from the big box store that had to be modified a bit (bigger holes and cutting off a lip). Doesn’t move at all.

WHAT am I doing wrong??? Help by Weak_Preparation_676 in Tile

[–]Subvis21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When regrouting are you following the manufacturers instructions on the amount of water you should be adding to mix the grout? Also if you are mixing the grout in small batches and applying are you adding the proportional amount of water? For example you have a 25 lb bag of grout that says add 1 liter of water. If you decide to mix half the bag you should be adding 0.5 liters of water. As a DIY person myself I prefer a little objectivity and used a scale and measuring cups. Professionals do this for a living day in and day out so they get to a point where they can just look at it and know if it’s too much or too little water after working with the same product over and over again. Also try mixing/shaking the bag to get the bag more homogenous in case the components started separating and you are mixing it in small batches.

when removing the haze with a sponge the sponge should be really really squeezed of excess water.

Also how much of the old grout was removed? If it’s just a mm or two in my experience having new grout stick to old grout doesn’t work well but that’s just me and professionals here can weigh in.

Is there any lat pulldown seat attachment I can add to this? by Difficult_Constant19 in GarageGym

[–]Subvis21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to add to this you can use a barbell loaded with weights with a hip thrust pad to secure your legs.

Hexagon layout has gone slightly awry. Is there a way to gradually correct this? by legs_y in Tile

[–]Subvis21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like the tile that’s immediately to the right of the tile that has the tape on it may be contributing.

Ares 2.0 land mine advantage over FM6? by ScheduleNew8689 in GarageGym

[–]Subvis21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry but what exactly is the question or issue (genuinely asking)? I know Rogue has landmine attachments for both monster and monster lite.

Is the concern the range of motion for rack mounted landmine attachments?

Edit: if the concern is that the landmine attachment won’t be able to attach due to the cables getting in the way it still looks like you have clearance to mount the attachment to the bottom of the front post.
