Any "swiss army knife" type of equipment is [censored]. By incorporating all that
[censored] in there, it renders the device almost useless.

Get a power rack,etc.

What about a Victorinox or Wenger Swiss Army Knife?

I wouldn't buy that. It's not what I would consider safe for squats and
bench presses. I have a bodysolid power rack and a bodysolid
flat/incline/decline bench. I find the power rack to be just great. The
bench is a bit too high off the ground for me, and the added decline
functionality makes it just ever so slightly loose, and when benching
120-140kg I like things to be VERY stable. In hindsight, I would have
chosen either a flat bench or a flat/incline bench. I never use the
decline anymore anyway.

OK David, read very carefully. I will type it slowly for you so that you
understand.

I WUZ NOT TALKING ABOUT THE KNIVES!!

OK??

The knives are fine.

It is the four hundred fantasy functions in a piece of gym equipment thing I
was talking about. Ya know, you take a perfectly functional piece of
equipment. Then you add all kinds of junk to it. Then try to pawn it off as
something that is actually more functional. When, in fact, it is barely
functional, if at all.

Go play with your guns and knives.

Should the puppy be worried?

Hmmm...that did come across oddly, didn't it?

I told my then gf that the great thing about the laser sight on one of my
handguns was that the dog could chase the little red dot around as usual,
and if she caught it, I could shoot her.

She didn't find that funny.

LOL

Would I be correct in assuming that she didn't spend weekends at the
indoor target range?
