I just use the powerbands for dips on rings but if your elbows want to go sideways maybe build your strength on a rigid structure like parallel bars, dips on rings is hard!
I love rings for inverted rows and pull ups!

 

[The Hamburgler]

Tie the rings together (but still separated obviously lol) for a while Rambo.

That way they will still be unstable but no risk of you falling flat on your face. A resistance band would be better than rope as it has a little give but either or

 

[Rambodian]

Yeh that's what I ended up doing Hambs, it helps a bit, but the rope kinda gets in the way, so I still wanna make a dip station. I been doing static holds to build my strength so my hands don't go out.

Anyone got a home gym in SOR perth that wants a training partner (ill pay)

 

[Big Mick]

Finally got these home yesterday for my home gym, over 200kg of Samson weight plates, all they need is a bit of a clean up, I will be using them in my out door gym for now, till I get a chance to clean and paint them

I love these old school plates, they look so hard core even if you train like a pussie

 

[Rambodian]

Sweet mate, where did yu pick this lot up from Mick? Shit you must have some poundage now mate.

 

[Big Mick]

Gumtree of all places.

Yes I have plenty now, probably more than I needed but this was a job lot for $350, also came with some other brand plates, some dumbbell handles and 4 barbell bars and collars.

Will sort it out and probably resell some of it later next year once I work out what I need, so can't really go wrong...

Will report back tonight big fella.

I havent actually used it yet but i will give it a good go tonight with some heavy (ish) bench.

 

[Grippy]

Dam fine setup there Jim.

 

[Grippy]

This is my room in the house.

 

[Rambodian]

Awsome Grippy, I like your bench mate, what kind is it?

The more I look at those racks, the more I wish I got one instead of squat stands, now that the missus trains at home, her side of the car shed is not as important as before LOL, and I probably could of got away with a rack dammit!.....The rules were as long as I could move my shit in the event of a storm etc for her car, but I don't think she cares anymore.

This is the bench here:

Commercial Flat Bench with wheels

I used it last night and did some bench press. 105kg for sets of 5 and it felt VERY solid. Didnt wobble or anything at all and it is very nice and wide.

I was having trouble with my lats falling off the bench because of the bench width at Worlds Gym. I didnt have any problems at all last night.

In short: The bench is sick as fuark

P.S. The handle and wheels makes it heaps easy to move around as well
