whats your favorite gym equipment of all time?

[joshbarnett]

what equipment cant you do without or wish your gym had? i love the original hammer plate load, the nautilus pullover, nebula leg press, nebula vertical leg press, icarian donkey calf, icarian standing lateral raise...just wanted to get some ideas from real lifters. doesnt matter how old the equipment is just that it was the best piece for that bodypart. i.e. whats your favorite piece for every body part? i love that glute-ham raise for hammies...the people of phoenix in particular will thank everyone that voices their opinions on this-i will explain why when the time is right

Favorite Equipment

Half rack with rubber/wood platform

 

[joshbarnett]

i was planning on 2 full power racks that can use chains and bands and 2-3 separate deadlift platforms...

 

[walker11]

monolift and reverse hyper. we just got a reverse hyper in the gym a few months ago and it's awsome.

 

[big nasty]

Glute Ham Raise(just moved and don't know if there's one anywhere near here and would kill to have one or at least access to one), the old Icarian hack squat, and pin loaded Flex calf raise.

BTW if anyone is near Columbia, MO and knows where there is a gym that has a GHR please PM me as I desperately miss it

 

[MAINEVENT]

I haven't used them in years, but I like the Flex Plate Loaded chest press, lat pulldown and back row pieces.

Considering we dont have shit in our gym, i couldn't even tell you about all the other equipment out now.

barbell and 45lb plates

Texas Power Bar.

 

[Dens228]

Monolift, or poor mans version is what I have and couldn't live without.

I had a glute ham bench and wish I still did. I feel it is the best hamstring builder, bar none.

 

[joshbarnett]

we will have texas power bars and okie bars, safety squat bar, and fat bars and db's to 200lbs

..you mean, other than the Total Gym? My second choice is this bad ass power rack we have at Powerhouse, with these bonus pullup bars on top - four or five grips of steel, none of that synthetic coating nonsense. I wish I could tell you who makes it; we have three, it's old school as hell.
