Point of clarification: Black Widow is a small NY-based company that sells custom made heavy-duty weight equipment: Black Widow Equipment Back Widow is a multi-use handle for cable exercises: Back Widow I appreciate the clarification, I did know they were different products and manufacturers. Because the names were similar, I just pointed out I looked into the back widow because it was a multi use functionality. It has a slot to use on a barbell as a landmine attachment, and you can use it as a cable pull down attachment / cable row attachment. I like to look at multi use items when possible since I have a small space. |

Landmine handles/grips. What do you guys have and recommend?
Currently weighing pros and cons between these options but willing to consider alternatives. I'm inclined towards the parallel handle.

I think it has some applications outside of plain rowing as well but I haven't explored them much. |

Grab a bar or dumbbell handles and try both grips. See which you like better. Im a neutral grip kinda guy like the rogue can usually lift more, but some like the other grip.
Need to get a pic,, changed the gym around so I can get more movement. Got rid of 10 or so pieces that I didnt use. As long as I have a rack and barbell im good. |

You can buy a neutral grip attachment for a cable machine. Just put it under the bar below the collar, no need to attach anything. You can also buy collars for attaching chains, but instead of clipping in chains, you put it on the collar in the land mine setup. Carabiner any cable attachment you want. Much cheaper that buying stuff specifically for a land mine and they can be dual use if you have a cable machine. |

For those with the Fitness Reality 810xlt racks I finally found a set of jammer arms that are supposed to fit. I have them on order and they should be here on Oct. 20, so hopefully will be reporting back that they fit and aren't a steaming pile of shit.

I got my Ironmaster dumbbells a few days ago. I've only used them a little bit so far but they're way more convenient than Olympic dumbbells. Very nice small form factor and seem to be well made. Also finally got my lat pull down pulley system from Titan- they had two different sets of instructions depending on where you look, and neither perfectly matched the included hardware kit, but generally it was still pretty easy to assemble and feels solid and smooth.

I wonder how much a rack that light would move with out it being bolted down or weights being stored on it I've got a Rogue Monster lite floor mount non bolt and its fine too for the most part it 'migrates' on the rubber but not excessively. The thing is extremely heavy though even unloaded and I keep weight on pegs at the bottom. |

OCT 2022 Basement Gym Update
Upgraded my rack to a Rogue R3 and added bracings for a DIY wall-mount solution. Solid as hell with zero movement of any kind. I also mounted the Rogue plate horns to 2x10s for easy access to plates. Picked up a row bench (AKA seal bench) that is fantastic for supported rows and arm work. A solid piece of steel that I purchased for a song on FB Marketplace. The Titan Row bar goes well with this bench and allows for max contraction rows. The final addition is a Sorinex selectorized reverse hyper machine. Over 30 years old and originally in a college weight room - it spent the last few years rusting in a guy's garage. I restored it and it looks like new. This is the definition of "old school" - solid steel pulleys with brass bushings and the frame is a single welded piece. A great option for those of us with old guy/deployment spines. The price was so low it was almost criminal. Almost. I've got everything I need now.      |

There's a lot of hype surrounding reverse hypers - some swear they are a miracle cure and others saying it's a waste of time. I've had marked success with this movement - it increases flexibility, decreases pain, and keeps my posterior chain strong. I can't load my spine at all, so traditional methods aren't an option for me. I was also looking at the Rogue Scout Hyper, but just happened to luck out and find a selectorized version on FB Marketplace - they essentially gave it away after considering the cost of the included accessories (Spud belt and various attachments). It was a lot of work restoring it, but it was certainly worth it. |

I can't comment on reverse-hypers in general; I've never used one. I have researched them a bit and particularly the westside scout rogue offers. After a bit of reading, I found move than one review talking about it not being very stable. Just something to consider if thinking about that specific model.

Coop from GGR mentioned that as well. However, from my understanding a lot of that has to do with more swinging the weight vs actual controlled movements. I don’t plan on doing anything crazy, mostly controlled movements. If it leaves me feeling unstable or unsafe, I could always sell it. The problem is I don’t know if I should even buy one. Don’t worry though, I’ll mull it over for the next like one or 2 years then finally pull the trigger! LoL |

Figured I’d add my gym to this thread. I moved over the summer and the new house had a 30x50 shop in the back that wasn’t being used except for storage until we got settled in the house. So, I decided to take the back 16’x20’ area and turn it into a gym. I already had all the equipment from my last house gym (pics were in the last thread), so it just cost me weekend time and materials to get it built. Happy with how it turned out. I’ll replace the window AC with a mini split before next summer.

Here's where I was about 2 weeks ago:  Attached FileCarpet, with mats under the treadmill and Peloton wasn't cutting it. I also have an adjustable bench with Dumbells in my office. Up to 35# Hex's and a set of Bowflex 1090's. First thing I did was replace the floor; ripping out the Carpet and adding Rubber tiles.  Attached FileThen November came and I placed an order. MOST of that is now here. The Peloton has moved to my office, and I added a Rogue RML-3W folding power rack. I just did this, so there's more shuffling to do because I'll be doing all my lifting in there, and not my office, now. But after building this sucker I'm done for today.

Plus the way I have my plates stored now, I really like, and it wouldn't work with Oly plates. I got in to this during covid and considered myself lucky to get the kit I started with. No ragrets. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By jokermann77: Nice upgrade! Now it just looks like you need some plates! (Unless they are just not pictured) Just not pictured. I got a set of Rogue Fleck Bumper plates, and some cheaper plates to bump those up at need, along with a Rogue Ohio bar. I'm hoping for some storage (and some more plates) for Xmas, so I'll be doing some more work in January or so. I also have a bunch of standard plates and at least one 1" bar (I had a second but can't find it, so maybe it's in the shed or something), but the Rogue November sale (and the fact that by buying the plates and bar I got free shipping on the rack) got me to do that upgrade. My 1" stuff is garbage that I bought in my early 20's and have been trucking around for nearly 20 years (and not using; I had used it years ago but the then-GF moved in and the big stuff I had then had to go) Initially I was going to go the Currahee route, but the sales made me move early. |

I’ve had my eye on those Fleck bumpers! They look really nice! I don’t need any at the moment, one day I want to pick up some bumpers, but I don’t plan on it any time soon, it’s between those and the Fringe Sport Savage plates, rogue will more than likely win out! LoL Anyone else get anything for their home gyms during the Black Friday sales. My wife picked me up a Schwinn IC4 bike that she found on sale. But, I don’t get it until Christmas. That’s what my daughter told her she wanted to get me for Christmas for my gym. I only know about it because she wanted to make sure it’s the one I wanted (she knows I’m picky on what I decide to put in my gym….. Aaaaaaaand she needed me to carry it into the house lol. |

I haven't bought anything that wasn't a gun part during a Black Fri sale in over two decades, but this year I saw almost $100 off on a Titan adjustable bench, and it just so happens I needed it, so I picked one up. Took about 15 minutes to assemble, and, while not as nice as the Rogue at work, its perfect for what I need, and very high quality overall. |
