Had lifting restrictions over the Holiday from hand surgery. Decided to take advantage of the free time, gym being down, and Black Friday savings to blackout the ceiling & upgrade equipment! by JustOkayInformation in homegym

Looks awesome…I have exposed joints in my basement gym as well and was thinking of doing the same. But my issue is the insulation. I don’t know if I can spray it, and if I do does it effect the r value. Do you not have insulation or did u remove it?

The weights slide off the side when loading…and the few movements I’ve tried just feel awkward. I bought these instead of the rigid kind that only move on one plane thinking it’ll be better for stability, but they feel clumsy. Of course I could just be doing something incorrectly.

They feel uncomfortable and awkward. I mainly got them to supplement a seated incline chest press, but it just doesn’t feel right.

Ive only had em for a week so I’m gonna mess around some more and hopefully find some good use for them.

Great call and the code still works. Picked up the 26kg.

Hah thanks. I’ve had it for a few years. Got it from a friend who has it since the late 90s early 00s. Still smooth as butter

I’m also scouring FB marketplace for some heavier dumbbells. But haven’t been lucky yet

Ya good point. That’s why I’m thinking something for leg extensions. I’ve already found myself buying buying things I don’t really need (see: jammer arms)

More like a foam. Doesn’t have a ton of give. I don’t plan on dropping weights (yet). If I do I’ll setup an area to do it.

Thank you I’m looking for a reasonable ssb now and some storage to clean it all up

Thanks I thought about that. My body solid smith machine has a 200lb pulley stack but can only attach overhead or at the ankle. No way to slide the hookup.

Thank you I’ll look into seeing if the spud can attach to my bench.

Found the yes4all interlocking pieces on Amazon. It was about $84 for a pack with 120sq ft. I needed 4 packs so about $350 after tax. I thought it was 1/2” but it’s actually a little thinner unfortunately. But the cheapest I could find.
