Can anyone help ID this SSB?

No clue on the bar but that's the smallest bench I've ever seen!

It looks like it could be a Crepinsek.

[urbanlifter]

What is that, a Gaspari bar cable attachment? Looks a little like the Supra but never seen that one before....

Edit: Are those old York ship wheels i see also?

[Hardgains88]

This pops up every once in awhile, think there's a reference to it on the buffalo review thread, I think MGM is correct crepinsec. The stub handles are the cue, supposed to be very good, everyone raves about it

There aren't any stubs on this bar, the stubs and the various 8 and 9 inch attachments are a new thing within the last year or so. Even without the attachment handles, this is hands down the best SSB you can find!

i thought about that, the pad does look like the pictures on westside's website. the sleeves look kind of janky though, like they're not attached on center. i'll get some better pictures.

Looks like shipwheel collars.

Are those York Dumbbell handles?

I have no idea about the cable attachments, or the bar, but they peaked my interest and haven't seen them before.

Not York, that's what I was hoping at first, but they're Marcy. Either way they're going to look nice holding my hundos on the reverse hyper. I got four pairs and they're all different:

unbranded
BFCO
Weider
Marcy - These are the shipwheels

If it is, it would make me pretty happy, more pictures below.

No, there's no dumbbell handles.

haha! i have no idea what it's actual use is but it was up against a standing calf machine and i had to have it. seems to work well for calf raises and stretching them out

[matrix563]

marcy ship wheels?? whoa

[Trah275]

marcy ship wheels?? whoa

yeah, the guy had an attic like place in the gym that had some random stuff in it. these were burried, with the bfco collars and the swivel-handle bar, under a bunch of weight trees and random pieces.

really wish i had a bigger place, would have bought a lot more.

Looks like an older Crepinsek SSB but I'm not an expert on all SSB. You could always email Ralph - he'll tell you. I have the stubs/handles so slightly newer version.

QUESTION - is that the Edge slim combo bar in the background of the top picture? If so, how do you like it?

[Synthetickiller]

Very nice pick up.
I'm not well read on SSBs, either. I haven't considered buying one for a solid 8 or 9 years. It looks like a quality bar, though.

it is the combo bar. it's nice, i bought it during their black friday sale when i was trying to build my gym as consolidated as i could. i've only used it once, but it feels solid.

i saw that same bar at my PIAS awhile back and was told it was a crepinsek as well, though i can't remember by whom.

Yeah, really cool!

what stopped you from buying it?

[urbanlifter]

what stopped you from buying it?

Dom is into goblet squats only....

[Domicron]

what stopped you from buying it?

i would never use it. when i'm lifting more consistently then i'll see what specialty bars fit my needs, until then, front and back squats are fine. i mean Goblet squats

Dom is into goblet squats only....

my lifting program is goblet squats and hip thrusters. only

[Trah275]

honestly those are great...i wish i could do them...but my balls get in the way...

i feel like i should embellish on this a bit. The original plan for my garage gym was going to be as minimalist as possible, using a rogue yoke as a half rack and plate storage, and only a couple bars in a space of two stall mats. I got the combo bar because it looked like most football bars and swiss bars were ~$200, and this was both that I got on sale, no shipping or tax. I felt that I could mimic log pressing and do some tricep/curl work.

Even at the widest handles, it is shorter than the spacing on a log. Now that my space has grown to 8'x18', a six post rack, ~10 bars, and a slater true log it seems like I probably won't use it that much. The money would probably have been better spent towards other equipment.

But overall it's fun having a bar that most people don't.

Just placed an order through edge fitness for one of their reverse hypers. Should have it in about two weeks. In looking forward to training with it and hopefully helping some of my low back issues. Will post plenty of pics once it arrives!

[murphyreedus]

Picked this up last week, but finally got it down to the gym. Magnum Biangular Transformer. I'm not really a fixed movement machine guy, but the lat pull feature does feel surprisingly nice. Special thanks to a7stringkilla for the review and videos on this thing, or I probably never would have picked it up. It would be cool to find the dust cover panels that cover up the innards, but I'm guessing they'd cost more than I paid for the machine by a long shot.

Space is getting pretty tight in the part of the basement I have set aside for the gym, and I don't really want to expand out any farther. I'm pondering just keeping my beater blue GHD and selling the larger footprint Titan (not pictured, currently crammed into the room to the right of the Airdyne).

Wait a minute. I thought the rower used up the last of your space? Lol

Its in our master bedroom now so the wife can use it while the babies are napping in our room. Its going to be a tight fit and I may have to sacrifice using the low row portion of my lat pull down to fit the reverse hyper but if it helps my back I'm fine with that or I have to talk the wife into letting me put my 45 degree hyper somewhere else in the house.

[AttyGuy]

my lifting program is goblet squats and hip thrusters. only

And lunges. You know you do lunges. . . .

[EricAtl]

60+ mile run this morning to get this split sleeve bar (York I think), Ivanko compression collars and a pair of these deep dish. Should have bought a second pair of the plates. Before and after pic after a quick clean with WD 40.
