frogie2001 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 :shock: good start. my fav bit of gym gear is the old chin and dip bar, bolted to the wall. simple but effective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamfatboy Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 One of my faves is the cable pulley station..with nothing else but that, you can still work most parts. My gym's got two - and they're often in use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gym rat Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 My gym has lots of world class free weights and machines including treadmills which are very nice with tv 's built into them the same thingh for the bikes and cross trainers as well but my favorite machine at my gym is the leg exention were I can crank out eight reps using the whole stack which is 114kg.In the way of DB's at my range from 2.5kg to 70kg Db and in the way of plates range from 1.5kg to 25kg plates.

samoan_muscle Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 90kg dumbells sound mean...theyd be great for bent over rows or shrugs and ultimately bench Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggurl27 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Wow 90kg db I wouldn't be able to lift one up with one hand! :shock: I just like the simple things and variety at my gym (Les Mills Extreme) but they do have some new fancy machines which are hardcase having a turn on sometimes.

poos_n_wees Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Power rack :grin: Don't know how many times it has saved me from falling on my ass. Gym's only got 1, but the best thing about it is that it's not in front of a mirror, so its hardly ever used :pfft: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autechre Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 The Les Mills I go to has (finally) got some new equipment recently. A couple of these cable machines, new squat racks and one of these "V-squat" machines which makes my quads burn like hell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggurl27 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Autectre I go there too but find those new cable machines arse, the old school ones are much smooooooooooother. Yeah the leggie machines are all good had a go on all the new stuff in Extreme and the Hutt gyms, pretty flash! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gym rat Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 I also like the new school cable machines as well not the old school cable machines. I saw the new machines what Les Mills extreame have when I was in Wellington in Febuary. I thought they looked very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggurl27 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 So which is it Gym rat, old ones or the new flash ones, can't understand your post? You agree with Autechre that the new ones are better? or just look nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manu Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 For those of you who haven't seen a pair of these babies, here we go. Our kids love to use them as stepping stools. Gym members often use them as seats in-between sets lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
