I have this metal weight tree, and it scratches the inside of my plates. It makes an annoying noise. I was thinking of covering the horn sleeves with something to protect my weight plates/stop the noise. Anyone have any ideas?
I got some squat wedge blocks, but the surface is a little more slippery than I expected. Anyone have any recommendations for a surface I should glue to the top of them?
My garage (connected to the house) has a leak from the opposite side as the garage door. Can someone help me understand why and how to fix it?
Details:
Split level home, garage floor is completely level, no leaking from the garage door side, other side of the wall is a stairwell that has no leaking but is also at high level
Does anyone have their Voltra set up to do horizontal hip thrusts/glute drive with a belt? Or do people think it’s better to just get a dedicated machine? I am not the biggest fan of smith machine hip thrusts or barbell hip thrusts
My commercial gym has a hammer Strength plate-loaded glute drive and a selectorized Booty Builder hip thrust machine, and I want to recreate the same ROM/feel. My form isn’t great with standing RDLs, so I don’t think a stand hip thrust would be great for me. I also do single leg RDLs but more for form and balance
I was thinking of adding some attachments to a power cage’s front feet stabilizer with a low row foot plate and using my bench on the other side. But if the setup is too much, I may just get a standalone glute drive/hip thrust machine
I am currently planning my garage gym setup. I have a single stall space ~10’ wide, 19’ deep. Planning on getting a 4-post power rack (Fringe Osprey or Giant BD3x or REP PR-5000)
If I get the 4-post rack, I am not sure how to configure the squat setup. With the weight on horns in the way, I would have to put the j-cups on the interior of the front posts and be facing away from the mirror. Would it be better to get a weight tree on wheels?
Also considering getting a half-rack with spotter arms to solve the issue but am concerned about safety squatting alone. Appreciate any thoughts
