I’ve tested both breathable plus size thermal shirts and fleece-lined ones for my HIIT sessions. The fleece is warmer but can feel stuffy during burpees.
The merino wool blends keep me dry without overheating. For anyone serious about performance, I’d say invest in one good compression long sleeve plus size winter shirt—they really help with muscle support.
Skeptical at first – another celeb fitness hype? But damn, that blog's depth sold me. Kohli's gluten-free recipes actually sound doable (tofu over paneer? Intriguing). And tying in GST savings? Spot-on for my wallet. Tried Sharma's dawn journal last week; focus levels up 200%. Still, yo-yo at home?
Need more beginner mods. Great share, OP – convinced me to tweak my routine.
Props! What's the easiest Sharma hack for night owls?
Thanks for the breakdown! As a runner in the US, I ordered Bound Apparel leggings (Boundless) online – €48 and worth it. They’re squat-proof, no slipping during 10K runs, and the Lyocell feels amazing. Shipping to the US took a week via a forwarder (no direct shipping yet). Returns are 30 days, easy process.
Tried Gym and Coffee Relentless leggings from their UK site – comfy but too thin for long runs. Used a 10% discount code from their newsletter.
Bound wins for performance, but G+C’s Belfast store sounds cool!
OMG, I’m SO the English teacher type—planning meals but dreading the gym!
Travis Kelce’s energy is goals, but I can barely do 10 push-ups.
Your Day 3 HIIT sounds fun—can you share the exact moves?
Also, any fitness balance tips for total beginners?
I’m intimidated by weights!
In my clinic, we’ve treated 7 BowFlex-related injuries this quarter alone. The worst? A 35-year-old with permanent nerve damage after 90lbs fell on his lumbar spine.
These companies must be held accountable.
For home users, I now recommend only brands with ISO 20957 safety certification – like Ntaifitness’s commercial-grade line.
What’s good, I’m hyped to build the ultimate US home gym in 2025 and can’t stop eyeing Hammer Strength gear—the stuff powering Gold’s Gym and NFL training rooms.
I’m torn between the Hammer Strength Smith Machine, Plate Loaded Hack Squat, HD Athletic NX Half Rack, and HD Athletic NX Power Rack for strength, safety, and CrossFit-ready vibes.
Help me pick the best for my garage gym! Here’s the breakdown with specs to fuel the convo:
Best Hammer Strength Smith Machine for Home Gym: The Smith Machine rocks a 30-lb (13.6 kg) starting resistance, maxes out at 660 lbs (313 kg), and holds 7x45-lb plates per rod. Its 7-degree bar path mimics free weights, with 13 racking positions for squats, bench presses, or shoulder presses at any height. The walk-through design and 8 weight horns (4x45-lb plates each) keep plates tidy. Perfect for solo workouts? How’s it stack up vs. a 45-lb Olympic bar for benching?
Hammer Strength Hack Squat Workout for Quads: The Plate Loaded Hack Squat (85x61x59 in, 504 lbs) takes 8x45-lb plates per arm, with a 45-degree angle for quad-focused lifts that reduce spinal stress. Two racking positions suit all heights, and deep reps hit glutes (though Pendulum-X Squat is better for posterior chain). Worth the space for a home gym?
Hammer Strength Power Rack vs. Half Rack for CrossFit: The HD Athletic NX Half Rack (50x48x86 in, 450-lb max) and Power Rack (62x65x91 in, 675-lb max) use 3x3 11-gauge steel with 10-year warranties. The Half Rack has 8x7-in weight horns and 18-in bar catches, while the Power Rack’s 5 pairs of horns, premium supports, and no-bolt design are renter-friendly. Best for CrossFit deadlifts or squats?
Best Budget Home Gym Equipment Like Hammer Strength: Hammer Strength is pricey ($4,000+), but Ntaifitness offers pro-grade alternatives starting at ~$2,000–$3,500 (like the ONEUP-3066 Smith Machine: www.ntaifitness.com).
They ship across the US—anyone tried their delivery to Texas or Florida? Better than Planet Fitness’s gear or Rogue?
How to Use Hammer Strength Smith Machine Safely: Newbies, here’s a quick guide: for solo benching, set the safety locks at chest height, lower the bar slowly, and engage locks if needed. The Hack Squat’s flip-in/flip-out racking is simple—flip to start, flip to lock. How do these compare to Life Fitness or Rogue for smoothness?
I’m leaning toward the Smith Machine for safe solo lifts, but the Hack Squat’s quad shred and racks’ CrossFit vibe are tempting.
What’s your go-to Hammer Strength or similar gear for a US home gym?
Share your setups, Black Friday deal tips, or favorite workout routines!
Let’s build the ultimate strength zone!
Okay, this sounds like a TikTok stunt. Matcha’s fine (I use Jade Leaf), but Pilates alone won’t cut it for strength.
I’d swap the rave for HIIT to burn more calories (500+/hour, per ACE Fitness). Anyone tried this combo for real?
MaryBeth’s got a point. Pilates ads (like Alo Yoga) push that “perfect body” vibe, which feels gendered.
Anyone else notice this?
Dang, seven competitions? The Grip Strength one has my name on it.
Those Saxon Bars and Grip Genie grippers as prizes are calling me.
I’ve been training grip for months, and this could be my shot to shine.
Also, the DefiPlate sounds dope for deficit deadlifts—5 inches off the floor is no joke.
Who else is into grip training here?
Yo, Portugal’s gym game is fire! I hit Fitness UP in Lisbon last summer—crazy vibe, like a party with weights. Their Ntaifitness Leg Press was smooth as butter.
Hotel gyms? Nah, too basic for me. Check this blog post for the full scoop—they compare all the big dogs. Best gyms in Portugal? Fitness UP for the win. Anyone else train there? Spill the tea!
