For me clearly drop pads over a rower, especially since cardio is covered for you with the airbike. But I'm more weightlifting than crossfit :-)
Considering your already impressive equipment list I would miss a cable tower like this (amazon link) or one with two pulls if you have more space.
Yes not really crossfit but mine helped a lot with some detailwork and also some corrective exercies. People get older ;)
Interesting. I do have TRX type cables for ring rows and such. What do you use the called tower for? Pull downs, trizeps, chest?
I do feel the getting old part. π
The face pulls I forgot the face pulls. Shame on me⦠And also rotator cuff here demonstrated with a band. I prefere the constant pull of the cable.
Ah yes, I do a lot of rotator cuff exercises with bands. My shoulders are the weak point and I already had pretty bad issues two times.
There are cable attachments for the common squat rack sizes, that's an option to avoid another standalone thing eating up floor space.
(edit: this is my new account, I moved π)
You can check athlean x XY excercises ranked vidoes eg Shoulders almost always there is a cable excercise very high in the ranking. You can also train sides in isolation, when you spot for example that your left side is weaker than your right side.
I like to use the tower for pull throughs like kettlebell swings just with more stabilitiy because of the cable. Also you can train your shins by attaching the cable to your feet and pull the feets towards your knee. Helps with kneeproblems.
Also you can train your adductors and gluteus medius which also can help with knee problems.
All with the idea to help improving the bigger lifts.
