Cool man, Goodrum wont agree of course.

Not enough pink dumbells?
-
how is putting some racks against the walls brilliant?
-
looks to clean :)
But a sweet setup
-
Train bigger groups with limited space more effectively. Haven't you ever seen a University gym?

that's my point there have been gyms like this for 20 years.
i remember when the scpa (self contained power area - cage, bar, bumpers, 0-90 bench and dumbbell rack nearby) came out in the NSCA journal in the 80's... pretty soon everyone had rows of cages.
useless nautilus circuits went out the window soon after.

pure flotsam

Clean layout, all equipment similar to Forza from what it appears.
-
The amount of squat/power racks is straight sexy.
I have wanted to put together my own home gym for a LONG time and that one setup with the attached mat looks amazing. Does anyone have any experience with this company and their products?
-
I don't as of yet, this company was linked in a thread on the strengthcoach.com forums.

Not a place for shredded glutes and oiled up men thongs. Its a place train without a machine to trip over.

What equipment have you had experience with that you just absolutely loved then? Because the last two racks on this page http://www.raecrowther.com/racks.shtml that are yellow with the attached mats are pretty much all I would ever need. Just give me an adjustable bench and I would be good to go it looks like. I have experience with a hammer strength rack, this once specifically http://us.commercial.lifefitness.com/content.cfm/hdhr , and I LOVE it in terms of its versatility. I would spend ALL my time on it for my bread-and-butter stuff if the gym didn't already have an incline and flat bench. I'm just wanting to field some opinions from people that have potentially used tons of different multi-racks for my future purchase.

This hurt to read then I realized you were sarcastic.

What is a machine to you? Lots of people claim to hate machines but when you look at their programs they use tons of machines. You don't have any pulley stacks in your gym? No calf machines? No leg press? No hip-belt squat set-up?
Do you think the guys at elitefts and Louie's Westside gym, for example, are morons for selling and promoting the use of machines for athletes?

Drop the tape dot & ladder drills and switch the power racks with some elite racks, add some chains and bands and some Safety Squat, cambered and fat bars + rev hyper and glute ham and you good 2 go!

Bands and chains can be great. But a lot of people who have no business using them use them nowadays because it's hardcore (I guess) and a fad. Like this douchebag trainer:

True squat bar

I haven't tried it but I think it works your abs and upper back real hard. But for these kids it's useless to get fancy, when they can't even squat 1 plate properly.

Supposedly a safer bar - that is all. Strictly for squats.

Safer how? Lots of powerlifters claim it works you back real hard and that's the reason they use it.
And top powerlifters have used it for deads too, believe it or not.

The Safety Squat Bar has a camber in it that distributes the weight to the midline of your body. This allows you to maintain a more upright stance.

:D :D :D
Holy Shit - that is some quality shit right there

That looks like the best exercise ever. Holy god.

.
The SS bar also works well for JM presses, see that vid, 3:00 in. That fellow's whole Youtube channel is great, even though the intros are long.

Machines I use, pull down, seated row, reverse hyper and once in a great while leg curl but if I use it I pair it up with G/H Raise, 1LRDL, pull throughs, KB swings or anything that will target posterior chain. You will rarely see my clients on a leg press, leg extension or almost anything else that isolates a particular muscle group. What ever they do at Elite or Westside doesn't necessarily mean thats what I do. But remember one thing, the machines they use are only used for supplemental work.

We also use it for athletes with bad shoulders or wrists that have a hard time externally rotating to grab the bar.

So there IS a chance a real hardcore dude might trip over some machine at your gym when heading for the power rack? :D
Everyone uses machines to some degree. :)

For real.

The SSB tries to "collapse" the thorasic spine. It forces the Upper and lower back to work hard as hell to keep the chest up.
Yes it is MUCH harder than an Olympic bar. THe SSB generally weighs 65 lbs depending on if it has a yoke or not.

What about this guy, Coach?

You got it backwards boss.
It tries to "collapse" the thorasic spine making it MORE difficult to keep an upright torse.
