'Look what I bought today!'.

Just won a blind auction for a Flex Fitness Leg Press for $202 and an old school incline bench press for $12 (yes $12). Picking them up Friday. Link to pics. May have to enlarge your screen to get a decent look:

School advertised on CL three weeks ago. Now debating whether to keep or flip leg press.

Hammer Strength MTS Squat

[dumb.bell]

That is impressive looking! Reminds me of the Nautilus Double Squat.

It is an unilateral selectorized version of the H-Squat. Perfect for my needs and I don't have to climb up onto it like the H-Squat. Every leg press and squat machine that I have is different from the others. I couldn't be more pleased.

Finally scored a set of Ironmaster dumbbells with the stand. These rarely come up in my area if ever. This is actually the first time I see them and ended up buying them the first day they were listed. Not a bad price either. Ended up paying $200 and they're in great condition.

Going to be ordering the 120lb addon kit very soon and will most likely expand to 165lbs later on. With the addon kit these will compliment my Powerblocks 5-85 Pro Rexans nicely. I'm very happy to own both. This latest purchase was an unexpected surprise.

Nice score. I have both 120lb IronMasters and 5-50 Pro-Rexans and they do complement nicely. The 120lb kit comes with extra long screws, so going below say 55-65lbs is kind of a pain because you have to swap back in the shorter screws. That's why I've kept my Powerblocks, to avoid doing that on the lower weights.

That's great to know, thanks! Do you plan on expanding beyond 120lbs?

No plans - it's like $300 including shipping.

I talked to the lady at the school district in charge of the auction today. Turns out I overbid by $90 on the leg press. Next lowest bid was $111. Dammit! Oh well, still a screaming deal.

Just picked up my seated row that I ordered on Saturday, my review based on putting it together but have not used yet: Only have 2 complaints the handles have to be hammered to get them on and off and Body Solid shows it on there web site with adapters for Olympic plates but they don't supply them, I paid $563 for it a couple of adapters would only cost them no more than $2 each (cheap buggers), other wise it's not bad, once I get the adapters I'd give it a 7/10, out of the box it's a 6/10!

125lb Powerblocks for $125. Ad was up for only 15 minutes and I secured them with a deposit until I could go and pick them up

Holy chit, I'd love to come across that deal. One of the things that I really feel I need for my gym is a heavy set of powerblocks or ironmasters.

Got my leg press this morning. Will have to order a total new back pad for it from StarTrac and the bearing sleeves for the sled are missing some bearings. Got some of those on order which will hopefully make the sled move much more smoothly once the missing bearings are replaced. I'd say I'll have about $400 into it once it's in perfect working order again. Will try to flip for a profit since it's impossible to get it into my basement.

Posted in the CL thread, but pretty excited so thought I would share here too. I was about to buy a new cheap rack for $300, instead here's some well used gear I picked up for the same $300. Being patient paid off .

USA Tuff Stuff power rack with lat/row tower, Cybex flat bench, Cybex preacher curl, Bodysmith situp station, olympic straight bar, olympic squat training bar, olympic curl bar, 5 foot straight bar, Promaxima weight tree, and 800+ pounds of random plates.

There are some embedded pics in the CL thread, but here are a few you can click on.

Awesome score, ja2k, congrats! You're off to a great start. Love the weight tree. Be sure to post some more pics of your barbells (sleeves, end caps, knurling, etc) if you can't identify them on your own.

I guess it was made in China

Not a bar for lifting but a bar for drinking?

Rackable trap bar?

KBKB was the closest. It's the York Multi-Hex Trap Bar. Had a bunch of store credit at Muscle Driver and ordered it. http://www.muscledriverusa.com/York-...Bar_p_947.html

Unfortunately, I wasn't home and asked the driver to.leave it in front of my garage. Didn't realize how big the box would be. My wife had to drag it in...and now I owe her.

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.

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

This thread simply kills me with some of the finds listed on it.

Congrats!

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!
