IMO, for home use, try these silicone wedges instead. Even more convenient to use and store.

I prefer the jack because it props the bar up when changing the last plate.

Do you have a bench?

I mostly have everything I need except a decent bench and those jacks.

I checked out their site and saw they listed a bench at RM2100 and that's a bit too much for me right now.

Time to look into doing bench presses with a yoga ball.

I would suggest you to do floor press instead of doing it with yoga ball, the instability (thou give you slight core muscle exercise benefits that can be replaced by other safer options) are pairing with greater risk of injury.

Just use another plates to "alas" the weight plate and slide under the bar for floor press. biggrin.gif

Oh ya, no bench for me ATM, out of budget already....hahaha!

Target next year to get a flat bench (as light/simple as possible to move around) + a proper workout cage. (squat, bench press, dip, pull up....etc..)

Floor bench presses full ROM is up to the plates or elbows touch the ground right?

Feels weird that the bar wont touch the chest.

I shared your concern too, if you are still having access to gym, you may use the flat bench press to do a full ROM to perform press. Then home gym setup would be an assist to improve the performance of press by focusing on tricep activation + upper pectoral muscle, hence I will suggest a close-grip bench press with elbow touching ground. (close-grip means grip at shoulder length, not gripping palm next to each other, that one also prone to injury.)

Technically, with stronger tricep, with correct volume training in systematic ways, it will improve your bench press performance.

Side note: May be you can adopt GVT - German Volume Training 10x10@60%1RM .


hope this helps...

A day: Chest And Back (Can do at home with Barbell setup)
Set 1: Barbell Bench Press - Close/Medium Grip - 10 sets, 10 reps (90 seconds rest)
Set 2: Bent Over Barbell Row - 10 sets, 10 reps (90 seconds rest)
Set 3: Chin-up - 3 sets, 10 reps (60-90 seconds rest)
(for upgrade, beside adding weights, you can do incline bench press for Set 1, or change Chin-up into Pull-up.)

Note: With 1-2 days apart between A and B day.

B day: Legs And Abs (You may do this at gym to utilize the relevant machines)
Set 1: Barbell Squat - 10 sets, 10 reps (90 seconds rest)
Set 2: Lying Leg Curls - 10 sets, 10 reps (90 seconds rest)
Set 3: Seated Calf Raise - 3 sets, 10 reps (60 seconds rest)
Set 4: Hanging Leg Raise - 3 sets, 10 reps (60-90 seconds rest)

Take note on the rest timing, I use my phone to record the rest time, strict or not strict depends on the stamina and form that day. Be adaptable to your own body's limits. biggrin.gif

I also just gotten my stuff from savage gears. HQ here (https://goo.gl/maps/sLfMUWXNkQBL847r6) you may walk in for a try. I can PM you the guy in charge of sales if you keen. Their barbells are more professionally made, two variants. One for training use, RM5xx, another for amateur profession at RM8xx.

I am using the bump-plates, which is very friendly to condo tiles.

yeah, i visited the gym before the purchase done. It let you try all the equipment around before you wish to keep some at home.

Or if you stay near to Cheras area, I can recommend "Muscle Camp Gym" too, 24 hours. (RM15 per entry, or RM68 per month).

Both are fine for me, depends which area I'm in when i visit KL. rclxms.gif

Safety > everything
Instability prevents you from loading more weight, which defeats your lifting purpose.

So I got the Decathlon rack in post #2 and have been using it for a while now.
I would really like a second bar holder but decathlon doesnt sell this separately.

Anyone know where I can get another set? I am comfortable with buying from Taobao if needed.
Purpose is so that I dont need to unrack the bar, swap the position of the holder and re-rack.

This is what I'm looking for:

check the measurement or ask them the measurement if it fits your rack

you can also ask those rack seller if they sell the hook separately

Not TS, regarding dumbbells, I see that many people love to buy a dumbbell rack for their home gym and then have fixed dumbbells for each weight.

If space is a concern, is it better to buy a adjustable rubber dumbbell? And probably cheaper? I only have to waste a bit of time by removing the rubber plate.

You could get something like this

https://s.lazada.com.my/s.1eAK2

It has a knob at both ends that you can adjust to select your preferred weight before you lift. After you're done, you just slot it in.

The cons of this is that you're limited in the weight vs swapping out rubber plates and that the mechanical parts may fail over time though thats more common in a gym because you have multiple users who don't really care about handling the weight properly. For own use, it will last you a while.

I dont have this or any dumbell, but I'd say that this is a decent deal especially if you get a pair.

There are much more expensive ones like the model thats at fitness concept showroom retails for RM2k if I'm not mistaken.

The difference between this and the expensive ones are the mechanical parts and an optional stand. If you use the discounted one enough that it breaks over time, I'd say that justifies spending a little bit more for a different model later.
