If Ron Partlow IFBB Pro🇨🇦 knows how much it means to have MUTANT® | Est. 2005 feature our gym on their social media pages, it doesn’t show. Ron is a very easy going guy that loves gyms and gym equipment as much as I do, so what (in reality) was a MASSIVE acknowledgment of the work we’ve done these past 11 years, it felt more like two guys meeting to train and talk about our favorite hobby.

Ron, I think I can speak for a lot of gym owners you’ve met over the years when I say that being able to hang this banner represents a lifetime achievement that most people will never reach, and that Mutant would come calling without charging a fee or requiring anything of us aside from our time means it’s genuinely because we built a special place for our gym family.

Thank you to Ron and all the Mutants that make up Mutant Nation for creating a format to recognize the efforts of the people that put the right tools in competitive Bodybuilder’s hands. I’ve tried my express how much it means, but I don’t think I can do it justice. It’ll always be appreciated and it’ll never be forgotten.

The next several posts will be our full catalog of Physical Culture Steins. The vast majority of these steins were made in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s in Germany.

Germany is well-known for their steins but a lot of people don’t know that it’s also the birthplace of the gym.

In 1811, Friedrich Ludwig Jahn (the guy with the beard on a lot of these steins) came up with an idea that he believed would help push Napoleon’s forces out of the Germanic lands of Europe.

He invented a sport that would serve to make great athletes and soldiers while using the framework of the sport to create social and political groups that would unite Germans against Napoleon’s forces.

It didn’t take long before people the concept that we now know as gymnastics caught on, and soon after, people started bringing weights to the gymnasium to help them become better gymnasts.

In the United States, Turner Gyms (Germans called it the Turnverin) were popping up around the mid 1800’s and they also started introducing weights to the gymnasium.

Ultimately, Gym and Gymnasium became two different things, but they’re ultimately linked from the beginning, and one wouldn’t be nearly as great if the other hadn’t been there with it.

Today, we still have Turners in the United States and Turnfest events are still held in this country. The first American Turnfest was held in 1851 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It’s the longest running sports festival in the country, being held every four years. The next National Festival will be the 57th of its kind and will be in New Ulm, Minnesota in July of 2027.

The upper back stretch in this Paramount piece is absolutely incredible. Heavier at the stretch and lighter at the squeeze, challenging the user along the whole strength profile.

Paramount was bought out in 2015 by True Fitness and I’m still hoping after a little more than a decade that they’ll finally start putting out good, hearty, innovative equipment again because there’s not a machine that matches the way this one moves, and that variety is important.

The set on the MedX Row was one of the sloppiest I’ve done in a while. My previous set went from using both hands to holding a contraction with one arm while the other went through the range and then switch before finishing with both arms again.

There just wasn’t much left in the tank by the last set and I was trying to squeeze every last bit of strength out of it…which isn’t so bad. At the end of a set, if you can safely let form get a little loose to finish a rep, it’s more work done and a fuller breakdown, so it’s better than quitting.

This is still the only Behind The Neck from Panatta that I’ve ever seen in this country. We own two different generations from Nautilus, and they’re great pieces…but with the seatbelt added on the Panatta, it’s really just smoother, easier to use, and easier to get in and out of than it’s Nautilus counterparts. We picked it up in Florida on November 21, 2022 and I believe it was right at $250.

We added our Hoist ROC-It Lat Pull last month along with the Streamline ROW, and it was all part of a trade deal we worked out with William at Iron Mothership in Virginia.

One important thing to remember when choosing to train one or two arms at a time is that the weight AND the “ROC” travel twice as far when using two hands as when using one at a time.

This means the same weight loaded will feel about the same using one hand or two…so four plates and a quarter with two hands will feel the same as when you only use one. It also means that one handed training will only “ROC” you half as far as two hands would, altering the pathway and squeeze slightly.

MedX opened in 1989, six years after Arthur Jones sold Nautilus. With MedX, Jones designed some of the best machines ever made, and I really don’t think any brand has made a better Chest Press or Mid Row.

Jones sold MedX in 1996 and the Avenger line was designed after he left, hitting the market in 1999.

In most cases, I’d say the Jones era MedX selectorized machines are superior. But in the case of the Leg Presses, I’d choose the MedX Avenger Leg Press.

Both have a really natural movement pathway, and both are equally adjustable. But I feel like I have more control of the weight and easier entry/exit with the Avenger.

And honestly, the 1,000 pound stack isn’t as challenging as you’d think, and the Avenger can be loaded to feel much heavier than the MedX could ever go.

Someone brought this to my attention the other day and I was kind of relieved that they did. We have two separate Dumbbell Areas in our gym and it’s still sometimes hard to get access to space because so many people seem to want to use the space for other things that don’t need dumbbells or the equipment we use with them.

I can admit that there should probably be more open space for things like stretching, jumping rope, and other open floor work, and that’s something I’m working on as we plan out the next steps.

In the meantime, please remember that we do have two wide lanes in the back room that would better accommodate those that need floor space while keeping the Dumbbells Areas open for their intended purpose.

We will be posting signs in both Dumbbell areas of MadHouse and we ask that everyone respects their fellow members and avoid unnecessary bottlenecks in one of our most important areas of the gym.
