equipment - dilema

bicep Posts: 315 Joined: 2001/01/26	2006/02/01, 11:18 PM I want your input on this So far my home-gym consists of a squat cage and leg raise/dip station, and I was going to get some weights along /w a bench with leg attachment. Just recently I came across something like this Nautilus® NT 1400 http://www.nautilus.com/catalog/productdetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524441760602&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302026803&bmUID=1138853510393 at a local store, it comes with all the weights, olympic bar, EZ bar and bench attachments (legs and bicep) for just a little bit more what the bench and weights + bar is going to cost me. I was thinking of getting it and getting rid off the squat cage. My fiancé told me to get it and keep the cage but since we getting married this year and other things I kind of feel bad for spending the money. But the thing is the cage has the chin up bar which I love and don`t wanna give it up, but I might I know a place that might still have a used stand alone chin up bar that I could possible get. thnx

What else could you need other than a rack, a bench, and weight? Squats, deadlifts, romanainian deadlifts, curls, bench, incline/decline, overhead work, chin ups, dips, rows, floor press. What more do you need? In my opinion, the versatility of a squat rack can't be beat, regardless of cost. And remember..."The squat rack is holy ground." -------------- Iron and chalk. Pain is only temporary, it is in your mind. If you can still walk, then you can still run.
	2006/02/02, 01:28 PM I couldn't live without my squat cage. I work out at home as well and in addition to what wrestler mentioned I DO set my curl bar on the cage when I curl.:big_smile: -------------- Sometimes life is like herding cats. Charlie
