Yeah it takes up a huge amount of space lol. Pretty sick in person though.

Can't say I have experience with their flat / industrial benches, got a cheaper adjustable one that isn't bad, but have a really nice one I picked up used on kijiji a while ago I now use.

Those dumbbells aren't bad, but a dime a dozen on kijiji here in Toronto. If you want the regulars, you can find 2 basically new ones for $20/each. You'll be paying nearly double after taxes for new.

Alternatively, what I did was pick up a pair of these : http://www.fitnessavenue.ca/item.php?id=497

They're $5 more each, but more than twice the weight + beast for forearm / grip strength.

If you have enough/time your visit right you could grab a pair of those new + pair of regular used.

These are also handy to have with the dumbbells, I've got two pairs: http://www.fitnessavenue.ca/item.php?id=725

The basic ones they come with are shit, believe me on that ^^

Honestly you'll probably be there a good hour or so just looking like a kid in a candy store lmao.

Where are you in sw ontario? I go to western

Tillsonburg. Woooo





I'm excited To go.
Decision is firm on the smaller rack. As far as the dumb bells go, I got little bitch hands. I'll have to see how they feel in person, but idk if I will be able to hold on to them lol.

Around here I spent 5 weeks before I found a bench. It's a York adjustable, piece of shit. Wobbles back and forth when using it due to poor design. So I plan on buying a new one. I like flat. I don't intend to do any incline as of yet, and if I do, I'll grab a new bench. I just like solid ones. (Unless I find a solid incline one there). Oh, and I use the hex lock on my full bar, I will be getting 2 more sets for the Dumbbells as well. Without question.

Safety bars sold me on it.

Would this bar fit with this rack?

Based on those measurements, you have about 52" between plate stops on the bar. Should fit?
Goto the store.
I couldn't do OHP in that 229 rack.

Came with resistance band pegs, so I repurposed them:

I got a similar rack for biceps curls only. I like to feel protected and got that "cant-let-the-tiger-get-out-of-the-cage" feeling when I curl bars inside the rack.

Troll is noted.
