With alot of us working out at home. We have adjusted or training. I do mostly all dumbbell work now and havent been to an actual gym for almost a year. Whats the one piece of equipment you miss the most from the gym? For me its hack squat and hammer strength chest machine.

But I will admit I have found a new love with decline bench. Never did it much before, but its so much better. Im way more stable and in control. Just seems like everything is more solid and tight to my body.
 
What do I miss?
I guess a preacher curl bench.
My home gym is well equipped so I’m not missing much, and it’s been 12 years since I went to a real gym so I’m kinda used to it’s shortcommings.
I do miss the people though.

You can get a little preacher curl attachment for the bench. Or you can do one arm preacher curls if you incline your bench. Not the same thou..lol

Since you have always been the heavier type, are your legs not pretty big naturally?

There was a preacher curl machine at this one gym, and a above your head tricep machine. Fuck they were great. I miss those. I got a really wicked case of forearm tendinitis from that preacher curl machine, but my arms grew, lol.

In the forearms?
I got a case again in the upper part about 3 years ago doing heavy palms down curls, took a year to go away.
I wrapped a heat pad around my forearm every night for months.
 
A good hack squat for sure, pretty sick of doing bulgarian split squats and wall squats with a foam roller lol. Also missing being able to use a barbell for deadlifts instead of dumbbells
 
I miss leg press. I don't think gyms in Ontario will be opening until March. If anything Quebec will open up sooner with more cases cause that's how they roll.
 
For me it’s the leg press. I’ve got a pretty good setup now but I still need a leg press/hack squat combo to complete my home gym
 
Olympic barbell, I also miss the eye candy and the overall atmosphere. Love that feeling walking into the gym and you just feel the energy and start one grinder of a workout, maybe even a few PRs
 
i would say tbar or lat pull down machines.
honestly just the atmosphere. workouts at home are not the same.
 
Hack squat, sled, leg press, hyperextension and weight stack rig. Ughh, grinding it out seems like a distant memory hahaha
