Dont mind at all, cost me $350. It was listed for $400 and I told him the best I could do was $300. He replied with there was some interest in it and he would keep me in mind if nothing came through. I decided I didnt want to chance him bluffing or someone else getting it so I told him $350 and ill come right now. He accepted. I was happy, GHR dont come up to often around here.

I'm impressed with the buys you guys have made, a lot of money changes hands in the equipment forum.

[twodog]

Just click on the second link....

Nice pick up!

I missed it the first time.

44lbs? is that the norm in GB?

[twodog]

I ended up buying a full Forza power rack with bench and 2" thick rubber lifting platform from the U of Nevada for $525. Just waiting on shipping quotes What they looked like assembled when new...

Nice pick up, I'll bet that the shipping is as much as the setup was, if not more. Good luck.

[ProtienandIron]

44lbs? is that the norm in GB?

Yeah, we use kilos so our wheels can be between 44-46 lbs. The plates I have are bang on 20kg as I weighed them for for the weigh in thread.

[irongrandpa]

i didn't buy this today,( actually a couple of weeks ago) but it's my latest buy. i did a review on it when i got, anyway here's a pic. it's a rogue abram ghd, got it for $400 off CL.

I do a lot of tire flippin' weekly. I have the standard wide/short tire that I flip normally which really works my legs, back, and traps. I wanted to try a taller tire that would incorporate a shoulder press movement to get it flipped. Just picked this one up at the local farm equipment shop....FREE!

[AttyGuy]

I had to help the mail lady with these two 47lb boxes.

Where did you get them?

[ffrink]

Where did you get them?

Out of the mail truck.....HI-YOH!!!


Got them from some guy in the mid-West. He mailed them to me.

[michaelstone]

todays purchase for $30...works perfect:



edit: wow my iphone lens must be smudged/dirty...thats a ****e pic

[Northernmoris]

Just got this bench for $75 and it turned out to be Icarian. Its heavy as hell 2x4 tubing throughout and in great shape. Then I picked up a spider/preacher.

[ProtienandIron]

Now thats a good deal. Icarian stuff is seriously solid and heavy stuff that will last a lifetime and one of my favourite brands.

I bought a large lot today (Power Rack, Lat Pull, Leg Ext / Curl, Dumbbell Rack, Bench Press, Weights, etc...) but here is what I am most excited about:









I will probably sell the rest of the stuff I got, but one bar is a Texas Power Bar (bar on right in photo) that looks like it says 1980 (pretty hard to read) and the other may just be a very common or cheap bar, but it is unlike any I have seen personally. It looks like there is a pin in the middle as opposed to the end of the bar which I have not seen before, you can see this on the photo if you look at the bar on the left. The hole in the end of the bar is also a cone shape inward. Anyone have any more information on these?

[BloodType3R]

^I'm fairly certain that all Capps made Texas Power Bars have the 1980 stamping.. It's not a manufacturing date, if that's what you were wondering.

That other bar is pretty interesting.

Cool stuff. I'd keep em both.

[TheDude8734]

On the way home from work on Friday-
I bought this off of craigslist from a local crossfit gym for 120$ when it was originally posted for 300$
I've been looking and wanting to pull the trigger on a higher grade GHD,
but for the price I paid I figure I could use this until i decide to upgrade and still get most of my money back.
I knew looking at the photos that the foot plate would be a bit small
but it's sturdy and solid overall and it still hits the hamstrings hard, gotta love it.

[deadwoodgregg]

Picked up a brand new Hammer Strength MTS Ab Crunch today.

[daniel327]

I shouted myself a new olympic barbell.

Here's how it arrived:



They beat it up so good that one of the collars doesn't spin.

I have a replacement on the way.

[ProtienandIron]

Thats a shame mate, any brand we know, or generic? And are they letting you keep the bar?

[ProtienandIron]

Embedded for deadwood;



Nice piece of kit. That gym of yours is looking good.

You figure that companies could do a better job shipping bars. My Troy TPB's packaging was in much worse condition, but at least the bar worked. The bar I received from Rogue only had the end cap off and the bar kept sliding out.

Good luck with the new bar when it arrives !

Hah, all too familiar. My Operator bar was missing a cap also and my TPB 3 weeks ago..... Looked like Daniels with no caps.. Luckily no damage.

They're definitely not my first choice out of the Powerblock lineup, but I just couldn't pass them up at that price.

Punch/Rogue kilo bell (thanks for the heads up on those, KBKB)

Looks great! Hard to say from a photo, but the paint/surface texture looks smoother than the bells from Rogue that I have.
