Which is usually more expensive just because the quality of all materials is so much higher, and the quality of manufacture is also higher than stuff that can be masked under crappy plastic shields.<br /><br />Don't expect to buy the good stuff on-line or in-store cheaply. If it comes with a slick sales infomercial, it's not for real users.<br /><br />Do consult with the local gym rats and do consult with the local Fitness store (if one is in the area.)<br /><br />And... Don't overlook making it yourself if you are halfway handy. 4x4s and 2x6s (don't use 2x4s) and some heavy plywood, lag bolts or carriage bolts and washers and a deck chaise lounge pad all make a great freeweight bench that can easily handle non-stick people.<br /><br />A heavy-duty bike and actually riding it outside is much better than a bike-machine-thingy.<br /><br />And buying a selection of sledge hammers of different weights and splitting mauls and using them instead of hand weights is a great way to get into condition to actually use splitting mauls and sledge hammers.Beanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293778848879361153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-86665995279983391222020-07-21T12:30:51.782-05:002020-07-21T12:30:51.782-05:00Another advantage of free weights, you can always ...Another advantage of free weights, you can always use them.JNorthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01701578500596164529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-29714161559469576322020-07-21T08:40:07.326-05:002020-07-21T08:40:07.326-05:00There's also the basic fact that the majority ...There's also the basic fact that the majority of people who actually USE exercise equipment are at least moderately fit. They have the habit of exercise. It doesn't bore them. Making equipment that can support somebody who weighs 300 lbs (to pick my own tipping point) is expensive, and doesn't matter to a vast majority of the potential customers. C. S. P.
