Anyone know much about semi commercial grade gym equipment?

Kate is looking at something like this.

She loves Ellipticals, but will need something decent as I can see her destroying a cheap machine pretty easily.

Look like a tool doing them in the gym. Standing tricep extensions are find

no more of a tool than some of the shit people do with the cable machines!

I began to read Starting Strength today, so far it parallels a lot of what Markos bangs on about. Good reading so far, and now I know why my squat is sucking a fat one - bar placement!

How good is Starting Strength! I love it

it's good. I used to do them. The only thing I really ever bothered with.

I did not do standing tricep bro-stensions or tricep pushdowns.

Move heavy and win. Triceps don't grow playing with light weights.

hang on a min, just kind of watched the video to the end rather then just the start. I saw the cable machine and figured he was doing lying cable extensions which like lying cable curls is massive tool vile.

lying tricep extension with the ez bar on a bench is all good just make sure you feel it in your tricep, I didn't like the massive rock he had in the technique, but that's just me.

So no comments re the eliptical? Not surprised really but worth a shot.

Squat question for the biomechanical among us.

I was going through some motions last night and found that regardless of foot angle or width of stance when I get below parralell and look in a mirror, the knee on my bad side is higher than the other. I'm assuming this is either a tilt in my pelvis or lack of mobility in the bad ankle stopping that knee moving out in front like the other one does.

A board helps a little but I'm starting to wonder if 2 legged squatting is ever going to be a good idea for me. Maybe I'll look at some one legged alternatives or something.

Even commercial grade shit seems to be broken more often than not, so personally I'd stay away from every buying my own cardio shit. Too many bits and pieces to break.

meals prepared by some chef

With the cost of said meals (including chef's pay, all appliances and kitchenware, utilities like gas etc, and delivery) being of absolutely no concern to the man.

Oh also he has all the time he wants to work out. ALL the time.

And finally, gear. Though that's the least relevant point here haha

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
