Save some space in your garage gym with a half rack. What is it? It’s a space-saving alternative to a full size power rack. Here’s the Half Racks from Rogue.

Best Lat Pulldown Machine for your Garage Gym

December 22, 2021 Tim Comments Off

One of my favorite exercises to do at the gym is the lat pulldown. It’s a great exercise for the back, shoulders, and arms. It’s also a great way to get a lot of volume work on the back muscles – without the drawbacks of pull-ups or chin-ups. The problem with pull-ups or chin-ups is that your grip can be a limiting factor – and it’s very hard to work the pull-up with anything less than full body weight. The biggest impediment to performing the lat pulldown in your home or garage gym is that it requires a pretty expensive machine – and it usually takes a lot of space. We’re going to review the best lat pulldown machines and [Read more …]
