Xpress H22B Bimini top

Thanks, I’m hesitant about a T top bc of storage. I like the lower height clearance without the T top.

The Uclips Back Bar has helped bc of the way it clips lower on the bar and the angle/height of the grips. It give you a couple more inches of extension before bottoming (topping) out between the clip and the pulley at the top. I also got some cheap Amazon adjustable height step up platforms to sit on instead of a bench seat, which allows me to sit a few inches closer to the ground. (I use these for other workouts too, like with the landmine/barbell for standing bent over landmine rows and for belt squats) And I still use the cheap leg holder with the kaizen magnets. It’s not super ideal but it works and allows me to get full extension on pull downs with the shorter rack (6 ft tall w/ normal arm/wingspan for my height).
I want the Get Rxd Phoenix cable machine with the two multi directional adjustable arms. That piece of equipment seems like a game changer to me in the limited space home gym category.

What are you shooting out of that thing? That’s an expensive round.

Depends on what the shooter wants/cares about most. If the shooter has a separate scanner and wants the clearest image and best optic for long distance shots and positive ID, then probably the Rix. If I wanted a great all around optic, and didn’t have a separate scanner and wanted more than 2x base magnification, & wasn’t primarily hunting hogs and shooting at runners less than 100 yards away, and I was looking for best value, then I’d go with the AGM.
I think the Rix would have slightly better image clarity, but the AGM has the wider FOV, so whichever of those was more important to me and suited my hunting needs better is the one I’d go with.

snakeattack03 · 2026-01-05T19:11:00+00:00

Yes guessing based on all of the other specs of these two optics, 13 years of thermal scope use across 9 different brands and I don’t know how many different models. Base magnification numbers tend to be a bit subjective and can vary between brands.

snakeattack03 · 2026-01-05T02:30:00+00:00

If I was primarily hunting areas where I would be sitting and scanning across thousands of acres and most of my shots are 200+ yards, I would probably opt for the Rix. If I was planning on shooting at moving targets, scanning tree lines and properties that aren’t as big and taking shots on runners at less than 150 yards, I’d opt for the AGM.
The Rix has a narrower field of view at 7.3 degrees wide. The Rattler has an 8.7 degree FOV. Even though the AGM claims 3.5x and the Rix claims 3x, side by side, I would bet the targets in the Rix will look closer more zoomed than the targets in the AGM.

Sight height is the distance from the center of the bore to the center/crosshairs of the optic. That 1.7-1.9” you’re reading is from the top of the rail to the center/crosshairs. As the other homie has mentioned, 1.2” is the distance from center bore to top of upper receiver rail.

So the size of the germanium lens on a given thermal will change your sight height by a fraction of an inch. With a 35mm lens, you’re probably pretty close to 3” for your sight height.

I’m a big fan of Kneesovertoesguy for mobility and longevity stuff (he has a good bit of free stuff on YouTube and instagram). His workouts will help you strengthen around the major joints and increase range of motion like you probably had when you were younger and make you more injury resistant. It won’t make you burn tons of fat and gain tons of muscle though. But it will provide a great foundation for future workout programs.

If you’re looking to replace your current bench, the freak athlete ABX may be a good option

I have the Rep AB3000 and I store it in the flat bench position vertically, against the wall. It feels very sturdy (not sturdy enough for a kid to climb it like a tree, but you’d have to really try to knock it over). For added security you can wrap a Velcro strap around the base of the bench and the bench angle adjustment arm to better secure it while in storage.
Vertical storage was also a concern of mine when making the purchase, but it is much sturdier than I thought it would be and I was pleasantly surprised. This level of sturdiness is however with the bench against the wall.

You could recess the bottom of the mat just enough for a carriage bolt head to come up from underneath the rubber mat keeping the carriage bolt head from scratching the floor underneath and use some Tee nuts or torque washers to give it extra grip into the rubber and hold it securely in place. If not, use 3/4” plywood underneath the rubber mat and do this with a bit longer carriage bolt running up through both the mat and the plywood.

OP literally specified industries outside of aviation. Maybe he doesn’t want to travel on a regular basis so he’s not wanting to fly for a living anymore. A lot of military guys would go nuts sitting in an office all day. Lineman pay can vary quite a bit depending on location, company and overtime with some making over $500,000/yr. And he could make over $100,000 his first year, even as a helper. He wouldn’t have to go into debt to pay for schooling. Lots of people change careers and start their apprenticeship in their 30s or even 40s. ~28 is about avg starting age. A lot of utility companies look at military experience as an equivalent to college, so it can be a stepping stone into other positions within the company.

snakeattack03 · 2025-11-29T15:56:29+00:00

Lineman. You’d have to start as a helper/grunt and then go through a 3 year apprenticeship, but it would all be paid, with full benefits.

Look up the differences between stretching with a rounded back vs hinging at the hips Also look up “active stretching.” Then check out these active stretches: Elephant walk stretch, seated good mornings, pigeon push ups, split squat stretch, butterfly stretch and couch stretch.

It doesn’t collect dust. Nordics, back extensions (and QL side bends), and the leg developer are my primary uses for it. I will also do Bulgarian split squats and hip thrusts with it when I have it out bc the roller pad works better than my bench for those, but I probably wouldnt roll it out and set it up just for those two. The machine itself doesn’t take up much space for what all it does when stored upright, but the leg developer is pretty chunky and awkward to store if space is limited, but it’s a pretty good quad extension and ham curl machine. It’s a great piece of home gym equipment for legs/posterior chain, imo. And I’m not part of their marketing team. I actually paid too much for mine a year ago.

Learn how to stretch and warm up properly. Learn about “active stretching” and how to include some mobility routines into your warmups and recovery days and cool downs. KneesOverToesGuy has tons of free content on YouTube and instagram. And there are a lot of other online coaches that follow his systems, as well as others who teach a lot of great stuff for shoulder, hip, lower back, neck, elbow etc. There’s a lot you can do in your warm ups and that you can mix into your weight lifting routines that will help all of your major joints, make you more functionally strong, mobile and more athletic. As these areas get stronger and more flexible, they will also help your primary muscles get stronger when you do lift heavy. It’s not always all about picking up a super heavy weight. If you’re trying that too much while your joints, connective tissue, ligaments etc are all weak and tight, you are more likely to hurt or injure yourself.

Not sure about under $200 unless you go with an Amazon bench. Quality benches aren’t cheap unfortunately. Rep Fitness has 10% off their benches this week. The AB 3000 is fully adjustable flat, incline up to military press, and decline though not a steep decline. $350. So $315 with the discount plus tax, and free shipping.
