Lots of mutually beneficial contacts, lots of questions, observant and patient. The finds find me every once in a while.

Today's find

That's a cool story. Horrible decision to replace free weights and the big lifts for Nautilus equipment. Hence Matthew McConaughey's 9-33 record there.

I've been lucky enough to find some cool York stuff from a few original owners from the 70s/80s. Hearing their stories of how, when, and why they purchased them makes aquiring it so much cooler. I...

Slightly bigger rat or not. That is anguish.

Scored a nice bar and plates today from the original owner who said he purchased in 1978 or 79. All Kg and all milled except the 1.25s. I've got 12 20Kg plates now and over 1000Kg total including...

My gym is pretty much complete so I've been pretty quite lately but still lurking. However, found a deal today I couldn't pass on and picked up these items. Original owner and the 70s bumpers are...

Luckily the first one I bought was better than free after I flipped the generic weights it was sold to me with. Therefore, the hoarder in me doesn't mind having and hanging on to both.

Found a curl bar with collars in excellent shape.

Already had one but condition and price was too good to pass on.

If you already have enough small olympic plates on hand to suit your needs, I'd go handles.

It sounds like you want the Rogue handles and they are definately high quality but probably overkill. ...

Found another pair to upgrade from a 140-kilo set to a 180-kilo set.

Also, recently got these globes in a trade with a fine YBBC member.

I agree and own a Slingshot. It's fun to use as a change of pace every now and then. I also like how it makes me feel much stronger than I actually am.

I'm guessing you might be pulling a pound or two more than me but I've been deadlifting with them at least once...

Not sure if I'd go that far but he's definately a good guy.

Those 70s 20kg were the hardest pair for me to find. Took almost a year of hard searching, a great spot by another member who gave me the lead, and a 4 hour drive each way to Cincinnati. They were...

I have not used, but my opinion was to buy these instead. American made and less than half the cost of Bell's Shin Savers. Been deadlifting in them for a few months now. They get the job done and...

All York

4x45 Deep Dish

Milled Era

10x45
6x35
6x25
8x10

I'd avoid a 2nd floor gym with all that weight and noise if at all possible and find out for sure if a big enough shed could be built to free up half your garage. If not, I'd also consider putting...

Any day a package from Canada arrives at my door is a good day.

All black does it for me.
