So this thread here, is to discuss our various exercise equipment we wish we had.

Aerobic stepper plates or some kind of boxes I could vary the height of easy for plyometric type movements.

Bumper plates and barbell, and a squat rack, for Olympic lifts in my garage. The only problem is, my cieling is only high enough in one part, or my bedroom. If I did my bedroom I'd have to make a full rubber platform and have to get rid of my coffee table. Also it'd annoy everyone else. Maybe a simple dumbbell set to go with it.

Weightlifting shoes. Raised heel to make it easier to squat deeper.

Stretching rig. A lady I skate with has one of these. It hangs on a door and you strap whatever limb in, and you pull a cord on the other side, and tada, stretched.

Cross country ski boots. We just had a blizzard, and it'd have been fun to ski. The problem is it's only useful for a couple days/weeks of the year where i live. Bought skis awhile back, but no boots.

Pullup bar. Pretty attainable.

What's other people's exercise equipment wishlist?

A weight belt more comfortable than those you find at my gym would be nice. :)

My gym has no belts.

I've actually never tried one. I tried straps once and actually didn't like them. I heard they're more useful if you're using like an Eleiko or other really good competition bar with aggressive knurling, as those tear your hands up.

Battle Ropes

A professional quality pull up rack. My portable rack is uneasy some days. I fell on my ass using it one time, because it came off while doing pull ups.

A squat rack
