decisions on equipment

In the SS system, between dumbells or GHR what would be the better purchase. Thanks for your time!

10 pair of dumbbells is a better purchase that 1 glute/ham bench. 1 pair is not.

I was recently faced with this same decision. Get a GHR or a set of adjustable dumbbells. Please ignore the homoerotic picture on the website. I've done a lot of research and these adjustables seem to be the best out there.

I wanted to buy the dumbbells more, but rational analysis told me that the GHR would be more useful. I already have some kettlebells and they don't get used very often at all. I also think my training would benefit from the extra "core" work I can do on the GHR, both situps, extensions, and the full GHR.

Good luck with your purchase,

Matt
