For $135 I can't imagine that equipment will last terribly long.

I'm not counting on being completely out of the woods yet, but that result was the bigger one that I didn't even know was coming because I went in originally for a cold/infection with worsening joint pain and fatigue.
I got lucky that my general doctor was on vacation, so after explaining everything, she ordered a batch of blood work that included tests I thought my doc had already run having already discussed concerns with autoimmune amongst other things due to my health history. She just ran it because my cold was getting better on its own, but my pain was getting worse.
Now I'm waiting for them to follow up via phone call for the rest of the results that I'm frankly not qualified to make an exact call on other than it wasn't a bacterial infection (like my original doctor diagnosed alongside antibiotics, which would have fucked me up worse gauging by the type of virus it might be), and the autoimmune test was a positive/negative, so easy to rule out.
Then things like my inflammation markers are quite good, although I've been running heavy doses of BPC-157 and TB-500 (which they don't know because I don't feel like explaining why I'm okay with injecting research chemicals but not the weak ass pharmaceuticals they're allowed to prescribe that I always get negative reactions to), and that's probably the one thing keeping me stitched together.
Ouch, he got an Intergalactic, didn't he?
I've had the same equipment for so long that I got sick of trying to work around/through my ongoing injuries, so I went with this:
Get RX'D Tornado Smith Machine Rack
It was between that and a few others, but those adjustable arms sold me on top of it being a slimmer profile without the front feet most of them have, but I don't really plan on using free weight barbell when I have Ironmaster dumbbells - at least for a long enough while that I can always buy the spotter arms whenever down the road. The company's been around for 25 years or so, plus they're from Texas, so I had better faith in them than Californian companies.
The other thing to look out for is the upright sizing at 3x3 with 1" holes, maybe 5/8 inch, but the former seems to be the most widely adopted standard. That way you can buy attachments, which is a big selling point to me versus buying a bunch of individual pieces that would just take up room I don't have.

I got a cheaper one than that from Amazon when the WuFlu started and they shut down the gyms. It has held up fairly well since it only has body weight on it and has no moving parts. I would not get a bench or anything with moving weight from China.

Hoping that next phone call from the doctor brings good results too bro! You starting to feel better yet?
