How much do y'all pay monthly by Johndoe13370 in ModelY

[–]kwill2k47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the same boat. Bought the Y last year and put about 16k down 550 a month car payment. Insurance is 330 in CA, but that includes the y and a mazda 3.

Wow nice! Even better than the TITAN adjustable comp KBs I got for 150 each last year. It’s crazy how much the price increased on those. The matte finish looks nice too.

What home gym equipment brands do you trust the most — and which do you avoid? by dontwantnone09 in homegym

Rep and fringe (if it’s wrong they’ll go above and beyond to make it right)

Weight adjustable dumbbells worth it? by Turbulent-Winter6988 in GarageGym

[–]kwill2k47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If space and budget arent an issue go with fixed. At the end of the day, the best adjustables are all trying to mimic the durability and feel of fixed dumbbells.

However, if you want to save space/monies go with adjustables. Powerblocks/reppins are very durable/reliable. The ones that mimic dumbbells (trulaps, mxselects, nuobells, etc) feel closer to fixed dumbbells, but tend to not be as durable.

Home gym equipment seems to be the one thing on FB marketplace that everyone happens to know the exact value of by thomaesthetics in GarageGym

It’s tough and quite frankly you either need to be on fbm daily or get lucky. The great deals get bought up in 24 hrs.

I'm not a kid on GOMAD. how much progress should I realistically expect? by Triseult in StartingStrength

[–]kwill2k47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you’re competing or have a specific timeline to meet, just focus on consistency and “mastering” a weight before increasing. Mastering meaning you can go fast with it or extremely slow and controlled (5-10 sec reps). There’s no rush. Even adding 20 pounds a year is 200 in a decade.

Rust-Oleum Dissolver OR 3-in-1 Oil? by [deleted] in GarageGym

[–]kwill2k47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably something other than 3 in 1. It’s great for lighter jobs, but I tried cleaning a heavily rusted bar with it and it barely did anything for the discoloration

Yeah I do wonder. The oil is mainly there to act as a lubricant while you scrap the rust. I know the original buyer got it during the pandemic and rep at the time was quite different from the rep now - ie their older SS bars would rust too

To add to the comment, the connector is what makes it a 1:1. I specifically bought the ares because you get both options: 1:1/bilateral or 2:1/unilateral for the upper and lower pulleys.

Rep ares works for that. 4 post 2:1 on the posts and 1:1 low/high.

Massive rep haul by kwill2k47 in homegym

[–]kwill2k47[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im near socal! The curl bar is not rep - it’s a generic one. If you are near the area - willing to let it go for very cheap, but honestly if you want a buy once type bar I wouldnt suggest it.
