Good or Bad Idea? 🤔
Here results of the second week of “Good or Bad Idea?” All results can be found here, which will continue to update as more of these are asked.
- 💡The #1 idea this week was a platform that automatically lays flat, even with a sloped garage that so many of us deal with.
- The #2 idea is an idea that is already out there in the wild. PRX does make a landmine that doubles as barbell storage. There seems to only be a wall-mounted version. A rack-mounted version would be pretty handy.
- A wall attached and collapsible row machine? Over 3/4 said there is potential in this idea. More ideas are below! The “Idea Generators” are the ones that submitted the ideas.
| The Idea | Good Idea | Bad Idea | % Good Idea | Idea Generator |

Sunday Survey Results 📊
Below is a few highlights of the survey results from last week. All results from last week and this year are here.
- A whopping 80.4% said the quality of their life would decrease if their home gym was taken away today.
- When comparing against conditioning and mobility, strength is more important to most answering these surveys. While only 14% said it was their biggest weakness, nearly 43% described it as the trait they want to improve most. Conditioning and mobility performed about the same with these back-to-back questions.
- Only about 10% have had a home gym for over 5 years and 78% have had one less than 3 years.
Rack Attachments Battle
Buy One, Rent One, and Trash One? Those involved were:
- Jammer Arms
- Rack-Mounted Landmine
- Dip Attachment
- The dip attachment was the most “bought” item, landmine “rented,” and jammer arms “trashed.”
- There wasn’t a clear winner. While the dip attachment was bought by nearly half, it was also trashed by 37% compared to just 25% of the landmines being trashed.
- The winner was definitely not the jammer arms, though, with the least “buy” and most “trash” votes.
It was also asked in an IG story question, “Which one are you going to keep if you could only have one?” This was very close, with the landmine eeking out a victory.
