Ended up ordering the Rogue Fm-6 twin stack.  I over researched and leaned about 7 different ways before buying this one  

Damn. Good for you

Yeah so anymore I only do compound lifts. I was going to do the same with him, just with really light weight. 

You should have him do CrossFit.......its really scientific stuff!

Back in 2020 I bought home gym equipment.  It was powertec brand and was pretty good. When we moved last year the people who bought our house wanted to buy the home gym equipment, and like an idiot, I agreed.  So I’ve been going to a gym for the last year.  I hate it.  I hate how crowded it it.  I hate the inconvenience.  I hate waiting to use equipment.  I’m ready to buy home gym equipment again.  


Do I go with Powertec again or do I go with something else?  I know Rogue has really nice stuff.  Costco uses Inspire equipment that includes delivery and install.  Have been looking at that.  I mostly just do compound exercises anymore so I’m really only looking for a rack, bench, and plates.

I have had success w/ Rogue. I currently have their Monster Lite Squat Stand. Gets the job done. Wish I had a pull up bar but don't have the ceiling height in my basement.

Get an Ohio bar and some bumper plates and you're good to go.

Win game 3 and the pressure gets shifted back to the Yankees a bit. Obviously, tomorrow is a must win - buuuuuut, there's still a chance.

I suggest the pitchers throw strikes and the hitters don't strikeout 14 times.

7 walks (thank you Cobb and Cantillo mostly) and the absurd wild, not even close swings we took = losing this series very quickly.

Hopefully can find something tonight against Cole but it is a tall task.

Was very high on DeLauter, but the fact that he played only 35 games this year and 55 games last year definitely has some red flags for health/longevity/dependability

4 innings of leaving multiple runners on base really hurt.

Law of averages tells me the Guardians get one today. Just stinks knowing Skubal is waiting in game 5. But, then again, it is playoff baseball and some crazy things happen.

I remember in 2020 I felt super confident when Bieber was starting game 1 vs the Yankees and he had an absolute lights out year up to that point and he goes out and gives up 7 runs.....maybe we get that from Skubal

Rehashing this thread....

Just got notice that our Hulu Live, Disney Plus, and ESPN Plus trio bundle is increasing to $87.99 starting in October.

For reference, I was paying $65.00 a month exactly 3 years ago. It is crazy.

I just looked up YouTube TV cost and they are offering $64.99 for your first 4 months then it goes up to $72.99. 

Our issue is that we have 3 kids under 4 and we use Disney Plus a lot. So even if I switch to YouTube and go with Disney Plus separately, the cheapest option there now (w/ Ads) is $16.99.

The streaming saga has come full circle.....bring back cable.

I just went with the adjustable ones (Powerblock) where I just move the pin for whatever weight I'd like.

Best place/site to buy some Kettlebells?


Anybody have anything they really like?


Been getting more into KBs and the versatility and ease of some movements with them. Currently have two 35lbs and one at 71 lbs,

Looking to bridge that gap and maybe add one heavier option
