Just partner with some termites for drop sets!

Found Ironmaster dumbbells 75lb set for $300 near Los Angeles. Quite tempted, but I'll wait for a 120lb deal.

That's a very reasonable price for the 5 - 75 set. You can always get the 120lb add on later from IM.

That's an easy $500 profit or more. People paying crazy money for shipping on DB's($300).

You should have snatched those up. That's a great price any day, but you could have flipped them for a $500 profit if you didn't want them for yourself.

Yabba dabba doo!

For 50 years, I've been lugging around -- but not actually using -- a pair of York 1st generation fixed-height squat stands (initially called deep knee bend stands). Made in the 1940s thru mid-1950s.

Now might be a good time to sell them, although they're probably more of a collector's item, but what should I expect to be able to sell them for?

To me (maybe some of the legend folks can chime in) this looks like a 3171. The two interior weight storage pins on each side are throwing me for a loop. If one of you pick it up, be sure to post some pictures. I'd like to see how it turns out.

Unfortunately, not very much. They're not sought after, although they still look cool imo. More of a display piece.

It looks like all this stuff came from Dick's. It's low end/cheap, obviously, but based on online reviews I think it'd be good enough for my purposes, at least to get started. Not sure about the price though. The ad's been on CL for a month...I double-checked and it *is* still available.

Rack looks like lightweight and low end. Plates are low end too. Before C19, that would maybe bring $300.

Anyone have experience with the Parabody CM3 cable gym? Found one with a 210# stack for a good price. Since it's only a single stack I don't know if it's worth it for most 2-handed stuff, but might be nice for other assistance work. The machine is disassembled so I wasn't able to try it out.

Similar to this one:

Beat up BFS open top rack (by Pro-Elite), asking $800 in San Bernardino County: [url]https://offerup.co/eElFFs41M8[/url]

I added some photos to my gallery of a bar some guy is selling at the moment. I don’t think I can post links of pictures until 50 posts, so... yeah.

He is asking $80. Anyone know what it is and if it’s worth it?

I'd be tempted to pay $800 for that rack, it's a diamond in the rough. You will be hard pressed to find a more bomb proof rack that the BFS Open top rack. It's easily the most overbuilt rack I have ever laid hands on......

I did a lot of research before I passed on it and posted it here haha. My dilemma was that I have an overbuilt (7-gauge, 3x4 uprights, 900lb) Star Trac half rack that I picked up for $200: [ATTACH=CONFIG]9250601[/ATTACH]

It appears the BFS version has 2x3 uprights that are all the same height (5'10"): [ATTACH=CONFIG]9250621[/ATTACH]

But Dom's Pro-Elite version has middle uprights that appear to be taller: [url]https://forum.bodybuilding.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=8367483&d=1468073443[/url]

I could look past the fact that it doesn't have built-in pull-up bars, but my conclusion was that the BFS rack would not allow for monolifts on squats and I'm looking to get a set of monolifts in the near future.

I suspect Don's is 5'10" uprights, just looks bigger since it is in a basement that likely has a lower ceiling.

Completely understand, ironically I picked up one of those BFS racks for around $150-$200 myself and did a quick refurb to flip. The monolift was part of my issue with it as well, you'd have to be willing to tap a hole in the uprights and shim a pair of Titan or Rogue mono's to make it work. Dom's rack was a slightly different version I think, where the front uprights were a little shorter than the back. Either way I had a hard time letting go of that beast, but I've never been able to justify having a two rack setup.

One of these popped up by me for $500 (pre-COVID), and I passed on it for many of these reasons. Massive footprint, no pullup bar, uprights too low, large spacing. My York 3/4's front uprights are around 60", I think, and way too low to use monolifts for squats. 5'10" might work depending on your height. You'd have to still find/make monolifts that would fit.

Looks like you're right. I compared his picture to the Pro-Elite website and the BFS.. Dom's center uprights have the same amount of hook placements as the BFS, the front uprights are just shorter. Repped.

Yep, I'm looking to buy a pair of REP 3x3 monolifts when they release and modify the flanges to wrap around 3x4 uprights. It was tough to pass on the BFS, but looks like I'll be staying in the half rack club for a bit longer.. a club I joined mostly because of your Pendlay Elite half rack reviews!

Yeah, it'd be perfect with pull-up height center uprights.
