underhand grip doing rows puts the wrists in a bent back position.

and using a straight bar means they are bent back and twisted out. Then from there they get pulled upwards by the arms, and downwards by gravity.

Use double overhand grip.

either thumb under or over to see what works best.

cheers, makes sense as to what the issue could be.

Bought commercial cable cross over for $100, a second corner cross over unit for a friend of mine for $180, laying down back row for $90, commercial peck deck for $20 (that's right, $20) and a commercial ab crunch machine for a friend for $20. If I had more space, or had known that it was going to be that cheap, would have organised some storage space and bought a lot more. couldn't believe the prices. will post pics tomorrow once I have it either in the work bay or hopefully at home. the $100 is missing the cables that go with it, so will have to source them somewhere, but that's easy enough.

Having seen your dumbell racks I'm guessing you'll be charging membership fees for your garage soon...

I wish I had seen this auction before I bought all my gear. Would have saved thousands

Full commercial power rack went for $180. It was ridiculous.

Worst marketed auction ever. I only saw it on gumtree and decided to pop in see what was there. There were about 30 people there, and they were all looking to privately buy equipment for their homes.

A lot of the gear was very badly presented as well, covered in dust and some of it in mould, with scratches here and there, but it was still fully functional.

I will post pics by end of the week once I get it all home and cleaned up and assembled.

I think I get away with no wrist issues due to using bitch gloves that wrap around and support the wrist a little.

Just buy a proper pair of wrist wraps from the likes of Inzer or Titan and wrap them properly before a set.

If there is still pain you might need some fascia release or treatment on the muscles or tendons.

finally, a pic appears.

going to have to move the tv cabinet thingy and fan out and put the pec dec there and will wall mount the tv above the dumbbell rack.

have sold the calgym chest press, and am now already a few hundred ahead of what I paid for all the gear. wish I had bought more....

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff
