I finally got pic related set up.How do I make it into a 2 to 1 ratio set up so the weight is halved(including the velocity/inertia/whatever it is) so it's easier on the joints?
>>76955461its literally on your picshittest hgg thread everI wish somebody made a MET thread instead
>>76955950OP's pic setup will be 1:1
>>76955461easiest way from the ground would be fixing the far end of the cable and hang the weights off the pulley in the middle
>>76955966This. Second pulley must be attached to the weight.
>>76955461What a waste of money. Should've bought silver instead.
>>76955461>squat cagenow you can do pec flies before 10pm
>>76955958>>76955461The fact that you retards don't just know this is one of the saddest things on /fit/ rn
>>76955950If the only thing thr pully does is change direction, there is no change in force.
>>76955958Typical AI slop answer that is wrong. The movable pulley has to be attached to the weight stack and not the handle/bar.The rope goes like this:Fixed point -> pulley on weight stack -> fixed pulley.You now have a 2:1 ratio, you can use another fixed pulley on the ground to redirect the force.OP you should have figured that out if you weren't a subnormal iq inferior being. How did you even solve the captcha??

with muh hecking new versas it's only a matter of time until I need another pair of big plates
OP here. I should've made it clear. I don't want to have high the set up in this left side of the picture as that would cause swinging. The best way requires 3 pulleys in right side of the picture as it reduces swinging considerably and feels good on the elbows.
>>76956834I only use a pulley from the high position.
guy with one kettlebell and a pullup bar update:+2 55lb adjustable NordicTrack dumbells+1 Canadian tire house brand adjustable benchsuddenly I've gone from basically no gym to most movements I could want with the option for progressive overload
>>76956943this was a right bitch to assemble
>>76955461I have roughly -$400 cash on hand to buy some stuff for my home gym.Do I buy nice weight plates (Weight-It-Out 45's, specifically), to replace my shitty generic rusty Chinese weight plates?Or do I try and buy some sort of budget home gym machine to add onto my setup?
>>76957202Neither, just donate it if you can't figure out something better.
>>76957202well how are we supposed to know what you need if we don't know what you have
>>76957210I have no machines at home what so ever (cable work is being done with a setup similar to the OP's).I am starting to run short on plates for my heaviest compound lift (deadlifts)I have no proper safeties for my power rackMy only plate storage is a slapped together weight tree made from warped 2x4's and a 1" 1/2 pine curtain rod
>>76957222well it sounds like you already know what you need in order of priority>proper rack safeties>moar plates>somewhere to put the plates>maybe a pull down attachment for your rack if you've got money left
>>76957224you're right..... :/I just don't want to spend $200 + on some safeties, but I guess the cost is justified, lol.
>>76957230$200 on safety is cheaper than your insurance deductible
>>76956582Doesn't the pulley move less distance the further the 2 are away and the closer the weight with the pulley is to the top anchors?
>>76957202This is pretty good, has a lot of uses.https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/224896138752?_skw=adjustable+dumbbells&itmmeta=01KDHT4GYRBDECMCKAYCZ1C0DE&hash=item345cdabe00:g:ungAAOSweipiNxSh&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA8FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1dtAGV6Pk9u%2BnTwd4%2Bov3tx7zU8sHYhVSA7s3hbAHdY%2F64x04dWbT5h9C3qkU%2BzvgnNoEog%2BpyY31Mj1ieq2yVZHKn6nX9Z1XWNhiRSM4Zk%2BGCpP3B%2Bi4K05EUL%2FK5%2FUXgwkwJJaZoY93hKWPGLELENOpluXnlfUsOBYkP5jP6MrE3fdNmz0cGcUuTc6u%2FJ5OEvvW3Nd%2FKPrbeCP%2FFaOXbyN26ySHja3biMx5q54lHpLT5GcMV0LQZ%2FETxdgvK2pRF4O8pa9py2xopgjXwljxuCPRCUcfL0OX2CxcHrxMHryw%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBMvo-Suuxm
