1- flex / bought by startrack

2- hamerstrength

Anything at Zuvers.The handle on the door is a 300lb d/bell and the door was cut from a 2,000lb rock found in the desert.

We're becoming the zuvers of Orange county....at least that's the goal.

I like hammerstrength, nautlius and we have an aussie brand here called calgym which is really good.

1-   Olympic BB...1 ton of extra plates

2-   DB's.. matching pairs, to 220lbs

3-   Power Rack/Cage

+ Kraftwerk (that brand is for very heavy lifting and they last forever, also as mentioned before Hammer is OK...

PS. I've seen some "machines" that use air pressure as a resistance! WTF?! And yes i tried those and they are BS.

Precor for treads and ellipticals...Concept2 for the cardio machines (rower and skierg) that I actually use.  Title for heavy bags, Twins for gloves. I  have a serious hard on for some Rogue bumpers and a Rogue yoke to add to my Prowler.   I think my beer kegs I throw around were held Bud Lite....use whatever kettlebells and med balls I can find cheap.  No preference for the playsand I use to fill bags.

Looking for some really big rocks to throw around the yard...I guess God or Jeebus made those?

Hahaha, I don't want to be that much like them. I don't think having a 20ft golden man in a thong would go over too well in my gym. lol

machines have there place, the knock on machines came from a lot of gym owners who didn't want to equip their gyms with the latest equipment . it was a question of economics. vince gironda was one of the biggest protestors back in the day. what good gym doesn't have a lat machine ONE OF THE MOST VESATILE PIECES OF EQUIPMENT EVER>

[DroppingPlates]

Given all the modern technology & biomechanics, it's interesting to notice that many "old" machines are way more robust & effective than their modern versions, build with lightweight frames & plastic crap.

Over 3600 bucks for a squat machine? You can buy a power rack, olympic barbell, adjustable bench and some other accessoires for that money and train every muscle.
