    What do you regret buying for your home gym?

    What do you think wasn't worth the money it cost? Or you bought something and barely use it?

    Wrists are fucked..

    Is this normal? I feel it probably is, I just had good flexibility from oly lifting, but now that I just train for strength they are shit.. Don't hurt when I'm benching or anything in particular, just front squats and general life
