After seeing the quality of his work I know I won't be disappointed I know his will be better in every way and if I can go one workout without bashing my head on them vs those hockey sticks that alone will make it worth the upgrade!

I apologize I didn't mean you wouldn't be disappointed in purchasing Mechs. I meant you won't be disappointed in selling your Rogue monos 👍

Hey Mech, where you you get the rubber stops? Been looking to add them to my farmer carry but I haven't had any luck finding any

[Domicron]

Mech is part of the Black Market Rubber Stopper ring in Canadia

Standard rubber bumper used in transport industry. But you have to bore out the center to whatever size you need (it's only 3/8" otherwise).

^^^ I feel like this is one of those purchases you need to make, and then worry about finding a rack to fit them later LOL

Too bad these fools around here don't have enough taste to order yellow so I could hope for a last shot at another ste of monos (too lazy to move them) and spotter arms.
C'mon people, yellow is where it's at.

Side question Mech, what were the longest spotter arms you have made for a rack?

Dude, it's custom, it takes longer. You need to lay off, I'll get it done as soon as I can. I haven't taken one penny from you so I really have no obligation. Having said that, I have every intention of getting it done but yours requires lathe work and it wasen't available this weekend. It's next on my list.

Who are the internet monkeys at bb.com?

[Mech6]

Best way (only way?) to add a monkey chinup bar to a half-rack or squat stands. Last one I have.

Damn, went to clear the snow and this.

I am not questioning your intent or commitment by asking twice if I am not wrong. I am in no rush in reality. But this new equipment bug I think is getting better of me. Comments to that effect are being made at the home front as well ( Road trips to get equipment + UPS deliveries +trying to make my own stuff are not helping the cause). Anyway, everything is 2 way street. I think I probably not check this section of the forum for a while or figure out something...

I think these are sweet looking 
They are very similar to mine...



If you're on the fence about adding a monkey bar to your rack... Not only do porches free up more room inside the rack, they allow for suspended band work to be done outside of the rack, they allow more suspension spotting options and not to mention they add that dayum factor to a rack 

Neba, what are those straps that hang off your monkey bars?

Completely unrelated to this thread> Those appear to be Ivanko OMs on your bar and one appears to be marked 46.9. I thought that were supposed to be in a range of 0 to+2%. 46.9 would be way over the +2%

This is why I've spent my money on calibrated plates & have a hell of a time justifying non-calibrated anymore. If all plates are this heavy, 405 is now 420. For the stronger guys out there & good deadlifters, 585 is now 604 lb. I know that's an extreme, but that's really irritating.

For those saying weight is weight, yeah, 405 is not 420.

They are Spud Inc. rack savers. I have them there for either attaching my hanging ab straps for hanging leg raises and or I use them to attach suspension straps.

Believe me I was surprised that there were many above 47 lbs and I think two are 48.9 lbs if I remember correctly.

Does anyone know if the revolvers are actually 45 lbs?

Thanks

Agreed! It is very annoying... I don't even count the lbs above each 45.

The reason I weighed them was because while I was squatting I always felt as though the bar was unbalanced or heavier on one side... and sure enough there was anywhere from 6+ lb difference on one side and well over 10 additional lbs on the bar.

I bought these from a Fitness store that aquired them from Boise State University... at least that's where I think they got them.

I doubt a university is going to get factory rejects lol so this leads me to believe that this is fairly common for this style of plate.

Then I also wondered maybe... just maybe (lol) that I've got some prototype plates with micro loading built right in.
