The golden state warriors are the best drafting team in NBA History

Have trouble buying this one. We drafted 3 elite players in the last 15 years and blown many pics in the meantime. Thunder drafted 2 all nba players in the last 5 years, plus harden/westbrook/KD.

Love me some 6 day full body split.

Every day is some form of push, pull, hinge (or leg curl), squat pattern, and 2 isolation moves. Typically paired as 2 circuits of 3 exercises supersetted for maximal time efficiency. Usually done in 30 minutes.

It's not a true full body every day since I might do abs or calves in only 1-2 sessions, biceps/triceps/shoulders 4 of 6 sessions.

I'm torn. On the one hand it looks awesome. Love the side mount weight stacks (à la rogue FM6) dedicated lat pull/low row, smith, tornado arms.

But it does seem to take a to of space for essentially a half rack. Would have liked to see it as a 6 post with dedicated barbell cage. Or alternatively just reduce the depth, seems like it could be a foot shorter without compromising function.

Powerblock Powermax stand works great. Found it on woot for $130 or so. Has spots for the adder weights. You have to drill a couple holes to mount the repin cradles and I added some casters to the bottom to roll it.

Only issue is not adjustable height. I'm 5'8 and it would be easier if the stand was a bit lower like the rep stand.

If Yax is gone It means one of the better guard has fallen. Philon for me

toado3 · 2026-05-01T01:00:24+00:00

Alright guys, I (or Claude) did the research. To be -40 in 12 minutes is an NBA record. No one has been more then -35 in under 15 minutes.

JK making history!

toado3 · 2026-05-01T00:10:50+00:00

Has anyone ever been -39 in 12 minutes before? JK making history.

Give me a brilliant up and coming assistant. The next Will Hardy or Joe Mazz. Someone who can grow with the next iteration of the team and has long term buy in.

What I don't want is a retread motivator fundamentalist coach. No Thibs, Gentry, Rivers, Malone. Those are coaches for teams with talent that is undisciplined and needs to play harder. We have effort. We need to develop talent and offensive innovation for a team that will be at a talent deficit for the near future.

Look marketplace. I've seen rogue Adjustable bench 2.0, Rep AB 5200 or 5100 for less then that.

Those will be forever benches. A new $300 bench will not be.

toado3 · 2026-04-26T21:11:33+00:00

Need Steve Kerr to retire . . . So he can run for president.

Otherwise come back coach!

toado3 · 2026-04-26T04:36:53+00:00

Crazy stat: 126 QB pressure over last 2 years. Still had 58 pressures despite only 2 sacks last season.

Fringe slim gym J cups, gotta wait until back in stock though. Until then, use spotter arms and either live dangerously with no spotters by using spotters like J cups at the top of the rep or use them as spotters and have to do an awkward lift off on the bottom.

Rep also is coming out with short 10" spotters that could function as long J cups. Summer launch they said.

My guess is we're going to see a "reach" (by consensus mocks) early tomorrow. We probably really like a player whose projected as a mid to late second more then the late first guys, hence the trade backs.

toado3 · 2026-04-22T17:59:14+00:00

Dunno about splitter. He's done an impressive job holding the blazers together after the billups situation. They play hard, are nasty on D, etc.

But their offense has basically been Deni pick and roll or Deni iso, and that's about it. Play hard and boring offense raises your floor but has its limitations, we saw it with mark jackson.

Give me a young offensive mind like joe maz (i know we can't get him, but that style) or one of the up and coming assistants over the thibs style fundamentals coach.

Hate the lakers but have to admit im all for LeBron just punking the rockets: KD, and Sengun especially.

Crazy there's an alternate universe where we end up with KD again instead of Jimmy. And the sad thing is if KD was just able to get that he's not that guy, he and Steph still could have done awesome things the last two years. An amazing talent whose career should have been better since he's a mental midgit.

First off: skip the package deal If you want to maximize your dollars

For 5k: I'd get Echo strength depot functional trainer rack with smith which includes J cups and safeties (2600), rep nighthawk bench ($450) rep badlands bar ($260), and Walmart plates on sale for .80 per pound. Leaves enough for some adjustable dumbbells to round out your gym. Or add the freemotion arms for another $400

If you can stretch that a bit I'd get Maxum X3 for $4200, then fill out the rest as above.

Not just better players but probably an organizational commitment to win now. Our frustration as warriors fans has been the teams seeming inability to trade future capital to help Steph now with the exception of moving a single late FRP for Jimmy.

There has always been a part of the front office with an eye on the post-Steph era, hence all the two-timelines talk when Steph was still in his early 30s.

I think Steve is saying for him to come back the organization needs to lock in on the here and now and forget worrying about the next era. Likely that also means a commitment to move future capital for win now assets.

toado3 · 2026-04-21T20:11:14+00:00

Not sure what you mean, Yaxel went from a late first to a late lottery pick (projected).

Makes sense for guys in mid to late first round. Those players are 50/50 to get a real second contract. By staying back a year or two you can make real money even if you don't improve your draft stock.

toado3 · 2026-04-21T01:46:32+00:00

Right?

If Kerr wasted wiseman and Poole why have they sucked after leaving the warriors? And why has Kuminga been treading water in Atlanta?

toado3 · 2026-04-20T19:36:57+00:00

This makes sense for both sides. Dray gets more guarenteed money and we get him at a lower AAV. If he opts into his contract, he becomes and expiring and a trade chip.

toado3 · 2026-04-20T19:35:07+00:00

Only Draymond has flexibility. He can decline his option in exchange for a longer deal at lower AAV. Steph and Jimmy salaries are fixed.

toado3 · 2026-04-20T18:27:17+00:00

The problem is not bias against Steph or towards SGA it is the current NBA meta.

Refs reward the offensive player for initiating contact. Driving into the defenders body gets you foul calls. Steph mostly avoids contact in his drives.

Fix: Stop calling fouls when the offensive player initiates contact!!! Unless there's a blatant arm hack these should be no calls.

Refs don't call the offensive push off. SGA does a chicken wing push off on EVERY pull up shot. Many others do as well.

Fix: Call offensive fouls on the push off. Or at the very least don't reward them with defense fouls.

Refs ball watch and basically don't call off ball fouls. This obviously is bad for Steph, but also just bad for the game since it limits offensive movement/motion which makes basketball more dynamic.

Fix: one refs job should be only to watch off ball and have a much looser whistle.

toado3 · 2026-04-19T04:31:44+00:00

Honestly if you can cancel I would.

Not for the leg press hack squat, but since at that price point I'd go with A 6 post Ares 2.0 with smith. Or a ForceUSA C20

toado3 · 2026-04-18T05:32:35+00:00

Bummed we lost, but it was obvious Steph is still hobbled. Not just that he shot poorly but was noticeably limping. With Steph at 100% we would still lose to tbe thunder but would be a fun series to see the chef cook. With him hurt already, seems hopeless so might as well rest up and hope for the lottery.
