'Look What I Bought Today!' - Part Deux

[cwcmac]

Cross posted from the Mech6 build thread:

My package from Mech came today, everything looks perfect as always.
I was hoping to get everything connected today but somehow, both my front and back bolt locks broke today (front has a key now stuck for ever and back won't use any key). Either someone is screwing with me or my mother's key was rough and she went to town on the locks dropping off my kids

But.....back to the topic at hand, only got to unpack today


Box 1 packaging - about as perfect as imaginable



Box 2 just as perfect



Each piece individually wrapped in addition to packed rock solid but even this level of detail to keep things in mint condition.



Just hollering to be connected to my rack



After getting to this point I decided to have some nachos

That belt squat looks sick. Would love to see a video to compare to sorinex version.
Picked up a nautilus 2st chest press for $100. Love it, foot assist is such a great feature so many pieces don’t have today.

you know me so well...

that's comforting vid.

Cripes Full Circle $93 PER leg pad!

I'll stick with colored duct tape

I've found local upholstery shops to be about 1/2 the prices FCP charges, and the several pads they've done have been great. Also, didn't Bench find a good source for pads?

That looks like a new one!

I'll try to get a video up; may be a bit until it is connected. Coaching two baseball teams is really taking a lot of my non-work time

Can anyone ID this lat pull-down?

I suspect that it's a replica or a variation on a known design, but I cant seem to trace it.
It's a bit of drive to go and see it in person so I'd like to know if it's worth the effort.

It looks like a nice pulldown. The ROM looks good, I would want to know how heavy the weight stack is and of coarse the price to decide for myself if it's worth it but in the end you know what you want and how much you want to pay for one. If the stack is adequate and the price was right I'd get it.

I was getting tired of the monotiny of loading 45s from the floor, so I decided to get a mini jack for my home gym from Rogue (I almost went with BWTG for this, but wanted UHMW to protect the bar upon contact with it and saved a few bucks on the Rogue version).

I'm gonna take it for a spin tomorrow on my deadlift day...

It looks like technogym to me they often went with a square box look

Never seen foot assist before, genius idea. I suppose it was for self-overload for Mentzer style Heavy Duty training. I'd love to have that machine.

Stack is 90kg. Depending on the ratio it could be enough.

Good call, mate.
It's an old Technogym replica: --- bodylinefitnessprave.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/lat.jpeg

Picked up this medx leg press. 600lbs stacks! It was a beast to move. We will see how it compares to the avenger leg press which I will have right next to it.

An interesting piece, 2 Medx leg presses?, very envious. Repped.

Damn. Killer piece. Please let us know what you think.

I bought the lat pulldown mentioned a few posts above.
It's a replica, but it's smooth, sturdy and it suits me.
Stack is only 90kg. I'll need to add at least 20-30kg down the line.

Sadly, it displaced my Trap/DL area. --- i.imgur.com/BwwjydK.jpg

I'm close to full capacity, but I'm lusting after one leg press. One more bedroom may need to be sacrificed.

Lat machine turned out great! What are the diminsions on the weight stack plates? I may have some that would work if you decide to go heavier.

Thanks mate.
I already looked into it. Trouble is the drop pin/rod (what's the correct term?) that goes trough the stack would have to be longer with new holes trough it. I'm trying to convince a local fabricator to do it.

I like this solution. -- (image) professionalmuscle.com/forums/attachments/professional-muscle-forum/78475d1444327891-weight-stack-plate-holder-pin-image.jpeg
I may try that first.

Didn't really need it, so it's going into storage..... but I picked up a StarTrac treadmill yesterday (newer than my Precor). Not going into the home gym quite yet, as I'm exploring places to move..... but I couldn't resist the deal. I did confirm that it's fully functional, clean and in excellent working order..... so I don't have any need to replace springs/board/computer stuff yet. Tax title out the door for $350.

Some deals just can't be passed up whether you need them or not.

Got this sweet squat bar from weaksauz

also got these 2x2 ft 1 inch thick matts for 25. the lat bar or tow bar? was free, i found it in a trash pile.

the bwtg bar i find a mistake to have gotten. ill make a thread.

[matrix563]

traded this ivanko power bar



for this rogue olympic lifting bar

https://www.roguefitness.com/rogue-olympic-wl-bar

figured with rogue being more well known now i could move the rogue easier than the ivanko.

Picked up an Atlantis Dip and Atlantis Sissy Squat last evening. Dip is pretty ridiculously sized - wouldn't fit out the door so had to be taken apart.

Nice looking pickup. They both look solid.

I would love to find a sissy squat. There is one that keeps popping up on CL. Someone buys it, and it shows up on CL again a year later. It sells quick and I've never been the first to call.

Thanks. I had the Nebula sissy for about 24hrs before I got an offer I couldn't refuse. This one seems like it would be a challenge for someone with big feet/ankles/calves to get into - the front to back is not adjustable and you have to really wedge your feet/ankles in there. That being said, it's very solid once you do that and really holds me in.

Rogue LB change plate set & fractional LB set - $30 total off FB marketplace.

Can anyone ID the brand of the fractional set? Logo is a moose (in crosshairs?)

[murphyreedus]

5.5' tall plate tree. Needs some cleanup. Let me consolidate two plate trees into one to open up more floor space:

45s on the bottom?
