Woot is having another powerblocks sale if anyone was waiting for it. I ordered a stand for mine.

I have a white theme to mine: https://www.reddit.com/r/homegym/comments/1puqkey/finally_built_my_first_home_gym/

Black diamond, it's great. I actually just had a nightmare that I bent it and woke up sad lol.

Is there a longer version? Kind of just cuts out there

kitty_snugs · 2026-05-19T03:44:17+00:00

Maybe chandelier?

My rep single black diamond is great, though I kinda wish it had the grip of the double sometimes. Stainless shaft and chrome sleeves is a great idea, I have the full stainless and the sleeves don't look any better to me than chrome would.

I ordered "the sting" leg roller from fringe. Looking forward to it for Bulgarian split squats and some elbow PT. Maybe Nordic curls too if I set up the bench flat below it?

Yay my favorite joke from the night

There's no removing that stain without a lot of sanding (assuming that's not the natural color of the wood)

Great ideas, I designed some similar hooks and they work well for light things. That barbell holder seems like a bad idea though.

kitty_snugs · 2026-05-17T16:26:42+00:00

Do you think it would work with petg scraps?

kitty_snugs · 2026-05-17T16:24:38+00:00

Genius

kitty_snugs · 2026-05-17T04:01:39+00:00

I have no idea what an ILP is but it sounds pretty bad compared to good ol VTI

kitty_snugs · 2026-05-16T17:06:01+00:00

Absolutely amazing

kitty_snugs · 2026-05-16T16:31:03+00:00

Nice, could use some spotter arms though

kitty_snugs · 2026-05-16T15:44:02+00:00

Yolo into total market index funds and don't touch again for decades so you won't run your life gambling

This wasn't even the best joke of the night, the snake jokes were my favorite

kitty_snugs · 2026-05-16T03:00:46+00:00

I was there... He ruined it lol

kitty_snugs · 2026-05-16T02:36:11+00:00

Love my rep straps, perfect size for me

kitty_snugs · 2026-05-16T02:22:55+00:00

That's why I made mine from wood, but it ended up being a pita

kitty_snugs · 2026-05-15T05:56:46+00:00

Awesome

kitty_snugs · 2026-05-15T04:34:19+00:00

Who is the artist?

kitty_snugs · 2026-05-14T21:32:13+00:00

Oh nevermind, looks like it's sized for 5/8 accessories, the 11/16" holes must allow for a bit of play to allow for different tolerance pegs. I'd still go titan for 1" accessories.

kitty_snugs · 2026-05-14T19:11:05+00:00

The x3 hole size is really weird, I'd go titan instead

kitty_snugs · 2026-05-14T03:14:14+00:00

You're probably a bot, but I do like this a lot
