Do you guys have any "Play it Again Sports" stores, near you? We found a really great bench with a squat rack on the end, brand new for right at $200. Now, it doesn't really have a safety but DH and I agree that if one of us is trying a new weight out, we can spot each other or just drop the dang bar, if needed.

Yes, thanks for asking, healing finally. I have a really tender sore spot I am going to ask the doc to look at, but it is only when I poke at it, so I better not poke LOL!
I was looking on the craiglist today. I don't think my hubby will run around looking at these things, he is SO picky about used stuff whereas I LOVE a deal! I think I am going to put the squeeze on hubby later this year when my membership is coming due. I have 2 boys that would love this and DH needs to workout at home with impossible hours.
I think I have my eye on a Power Tec Power Rack a utility bench and some olympic weights. I have regular weights and some adjustable dumbells and a good plain flat bench. I always wanted my own gym!
I did see that bench with a squat rack. I was really eyeing it! I might hold out for more tho. If it doesn't come to pass, well I will go back to it!

I am so afraid of losing them. I have this big honkin diamond ring I can't wear and made DH buy me a plain one. But eventually the diamond will go back on.

I think once they realize you're serious about lifting, they don't know what to do.

They do look at you weirdly. I can't wait until I am less klutzy as in jackknives LOL. How can you show off with those?
I just love to move those pins down for the lat raise after someone tho. I am bad
