'Look what I bought today!'.

You & me both dragon360! Good deals in Canada (Ontario) are harder to come across than a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!

I blame the thrifty Scotsmen in your country!

Just picked up a flawless Atlantis bench for 100 bucks! I actually called the ad on Thursday, but the guy said he was going out of town and would call me when he got back. Well, he did and I went to get it right then. It was a sudden 45 minute drive one way to Santa Barbara, but well worth it.

Congrats! That's one of my favorite benches but I rarely see Atlantis in the midwest.

Bringing the photos over to this page....

Embedded. Congrats, that's an amazing deal on an awesome bench!

HaHaHa well maybe that's the case! I have some Scottish in my background and I'm always looking for a smoking deal

Lol.

That's not entirely fair, I am Scottish and consider myself to be very generous as long as you don't actually want anything from me

Haven't really used it yet, but just by sitting and lying on it, it may end up being just my bench and everyone else can use the other two! And hey Deadwood, can you post a vid of that Hammer Strength squat in use from a couple different angles? I always wondered how that piece would be mechanics-wise compared to a power runner. The only thing I have found are a couple pics of it online.

Got this this morning for $30 off of CL. Hopefully it helps my lower back out.

^Those things always confused me..how does it work?

They basically let you hang upside down by your feet. Doing this applies traction to the lower back (and other joints too).

Ahh I see. Seems like it would be great for spinal (iv disc) decompression.

I'm on the lookout for one of those as well. It looks like a smaller, more streamlined version of my Hoist bench. There is a dealer that sells them (and more Atlantis equipment) about 20 mins away from me, but it's full retail.

I have never been in the market for one of the ab/back machines but this one came with 2 35lb Ivanko plates. My plan was to just flip it and keep the weights but after putting it together and using it I'm pretty impressed. I don't know how useful the machine is but this is my first experience with Tuff Stuff equipment and it is built really well and feels solid. I'll probably hang on to it for a few weeks and see how I like it or if my wife uses it. This retails for $695 + shipping, I got it with the two ivanko plates for $90 I'll be keeping an eye out for any other tuff stuff in my area.

Let me know how it works, if you don't mind. I was going to get one but I read that they are very aggressive and that Inversion chairs are better. I have really bad Degenerative discs so looking for some new stuff to try, have you used a reverse hyper before?

Ahh I see. Seems like it would be great for spinal (iv disc) decompression.

Yeah thats their purpose. Decompresses the spine allowing Spinal Fluid to flow back in with nutrients. Hurts a lot when you get off one and everything gets pushed back down again.

Picked up this vert leg press for $35 yesterday. Needs to have some grease cleaned up. Fully welded structural tubing, very heavy..

[matrix563]

awesome leg press. I think that's cool the spotting things go all the way to the bottom. mine are just kind of side welded near the top. I don't think it hurts it to keep it loaded but you never know. it wouldn't crush me though it will stop before then like yours.

I have a reverse hyper that I use at least once a week in my training. The inversion table is pretty awesome so far. The good thing about them is that you can adjust how close to vertical it is. I have been using it at a fairly shallow angle today and though it is pretty early to tell a real difference, it did feel pretty good on my back to have some traction on it.

atty messaged me about the ad after I posted pictures from CL! I didn't post the link initially just in case someone wanted them

glad a member here was able to pick em up


edit: what kind of barbell was included?

[AttyGuy]

Interesting mix of York plates from different decades. Good stuff. I hear the bar was not at all special. Definitely not York.

That is a heavy duty vertices leg press.

Appears to be one of these.

Thanks I think I am going to start looking around on CL for one, at $30 thats not too much to lose and could probably flip it if it doesn't work out. Once my rack comes I am going to build this: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=128923201
