'Look what I bought today!'.
Thought I would start this thread for people to show off their recent/latest purchases. Could end up being a great scource of dirty, filthy, gym pr0n.
Note to BB.com noobs; you need 50 posts to show pics. Once you have 50posts, this is the code you need to use to embed the pics: [img]location of pic here[/img]
I'll kick it off with my purchases today (flipped my old eleiko set for all this + cash- I got the weights, the Mrs got the cash :sad: ) .
180kg of milled Body-power plates to add to my collection.

18 fractional plates (little gems). Anyone familiar with Stuart Mcroberts book 'Beyond Brawn' will have seen these in there. The are made by Watsons Gym Equipment, laser cut and stamped. A quick scrub to get the oil off and they are beautiful.

The plates arrived with the usual grease, dirt and rust patches. I wire brushed the rusted areas and cleaned off with WD40. This is my 2 year old son demonstrating how to get WD40 off plates. ;) :D

This will probably be my last post in here for a while as money is gonna be a little tight over the next few months, but it will be nice to see what you guys are picking up. :)
