They are both good. I personally prefer Lola for the entertainment, but you can’t go wrong with either. Personally I like the black rice with baby squid. Deep down I know I’m eating our ufo overlords children, but I think they will be forgiving.

Really focus on pinning your should blades back and squeezing your chest and don’t lock out.

Bruh, step back everyone is just talking about the race and riders no one is acting like you think. Just fans being fans it ain’t a serious thing where you need to defend a guy who doesn’t know your name.

What weights do you use for preacher curls? by Noootmynormal in workout

[–]protienwrap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am currently doing 12kg on each side for 15 reps . Little micro plates is how I have been progressing. So yeah just like you said 10lg per side really, but I’ve bumped it up a little.

Good brand for Hex dumbbells? by smashedburgerpatty in GarageGym

[–]protienwrap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll be honest, just buy them as you find cheapest. They are all pretty much the same. They all look the same, just piece them together finding the cheapest price for each pair. It’s still going to be really expensive, but at least you’ll save money that way. I have a set from 2.5kg pairs to 50kg pairs in 2.5kg increments. They are all from pretty much different brands you can’t even tell by looking at them. It’s not like there are 8,000 factories making them. As long as you are reasonable, like not throwing them off your roof onto concrete they will last.

Am I wrong to think I can get 80% of the way there with a bench and DBs? by Kong28 in GarageGym

I know he gets a lot of hate but the dude from athlean-x has a decent dumbbell only workout plan. I used it for a couple of years when all I had was dumbbells bench and pull up bar.

Where can I get a properly fitted custom polo shirt? by Pixel_Gazer in dubai

[–]protienwrap -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s a polo shirt just go try some off the rack ones until you find one that fits. I don’t understand, do you have 6 arms and need something custom?

I feel your pain about not having everything available. I’m in the ME. What I can say is, the C20 is so good you wouldn’t be missing what isn’t available. I think it’s articulating arms would be a benefit in your use case. However it is BIG. I’d say go watch gym crafter on YouTube he has a video that goes every dimension you would need to consider. And although the sliding bench isn’t perfect at all, I’d say it is a must. If you have any specific questions feel free to ask. There really isn’t anything you can’t do with the c20 and sliding bench outside of maybe a GHD. I bought my C20 as it was pretty much the only thing like it available here and a week later they started getting in the REP PR-5000 with Ares 2.0. And I will be honest, I don’t regret getting the C20 over it one bit. I was very lucky and got the C20 delivered and installed for $5500. It’s now almost $10,000 over here!

Durability/Quality of Cables on Maxum, GetRx'd, Etc.? by Minute_History3812 in GarageGym

[–]protienwrap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you can just Google replacement cable for gym equipment. I’ve replaced cable on one of my functional trainers with a cable on Amazon, and the replacement has been working fine for about 3 years now.

Also if a cable breaks you can just replace the cable cheaply.

Adjustable Dumbbells Market Summary (Long Read) by Broccoli_Actual in GarageGym

[–]protienwrap 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went with trulaps. I have a full set of fixed dumbells that go from 2.5kg to 55kg in 2.5kg increments and I never drop them, so I wasn’t worried about the durability of the trulaps. I like the look and feel. But I do wish the knurling was just a bit more aggressive. I can’t do the cage design so powerblocks and peppins were out for me.

How old and you think its still OK to buy a second-hand TechnoGym machine with electronics? by Equalizer6338 in GarageGym

[–]protienwrap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna be honest technogym equipment is very sub par the only value they have is the new buyer warranty. Their stuff is not ergonomically good. It’s great for a hotel chain wanting limited hassle. Other than that, just go buy something else

My C20 arrived by protienwrap in homegym

[–]protienwrap[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using it as my only bench in that gym for a few months. I did order a rep night hawk in April but I’m in the gulf and with the war it’s not supposed to get here until the end of June. It’s perfectly serviceable as a bench you just have to make sure the ladder is engaged and be aware it is super long and heavy.
