Help me decide on equipment

[wfreiling]

I can fit one or the other. I have a rack, reverse hyper, leverage squat, pec dec and seated row machines

Plate load flat/incline/shoulder press


Or

Plate loaded row



Either one is $100. The drive is further for the presses

Plate load flat/incline/shoulder press sir @wfreiling! I feel like that's worth it's weight in gold as you can do at least 3 movements versus the row is 1 movement!

Lol! I get it man! My wife's always asking me to drive somewhere far to pickup something from Facebook Marketplace or whatever and I'm like "@#$%& you better buy me some coffee and give me a back rub for this!"

The press. If it was a chest-supported row I would have said that in a heartbeat, because I have zero issues using a barbell for all my pressing work. It’s way more fun to me as well. But that rower is basically a barbell row - it actually takes the same effort to load as a barbell and still loads the lumbar to the same degree with sheering force. No upsides.

My sentiments exactly. Chest supported all day, but since it’s not, I’d go with the press if I were you Wes.

That’s a great road trip though. I’ve said it before, I’m fvcking jealous of the deals you keep getting. We’re still getting gouged out here.

I wouldn’t get either and would find a chest supported row. Mainly as if allows you to go heavy and go failure without any stress on the lower back. Which is really handy when your squatting and deadlifting heavy.

I have a seated one. The other takes up such a big floor space that I can’t really see it

Press - If you’re creative enough, you might be able to row, shrug with it…

 

[ZOO]

I like the press. But I also can’t row so that’s a big factor haha

 

[jinxie]

+1 for the press bc what Hyde said ^^^.
