Found this on Kijiji. Couldn't find any other info on it. Eurotec by Eurosport for $170 CAD. Worth looking into?

I'm coming closer and closer to just getting the PowerBlock Sport Bench, it's just that it didn't feel very stable when I tried it out in the store.

I don't like the newer powerblock benches, not stable enough, the older welded one was alot better, which is why I hate the newer precor super bench vs the older Icarian super bench. That bench in the ad looks exactly like the build of an older tuff stuff adjustable bench.

Is this a Hammer Strength Iso Leg Press? Definitely an older version if so. Wish I had the room for it.

Dang thats cheap..$200. Makes me want to rent a uhaul.

I would say so, there's either two things that come to mind either a very old version or tag came off and was replaced with that "hammer" tag. I can assume that it's a hammer strength by that red "Stay Clear" warning. Just the "build" bothers me.

Isn't the hammer strengths leg press based off of the nautilus one? Maybe it's a nautilus?

What is the going rate for used standard plates? I need some for my lat machine and found this on CL. I don't need all of that weight but he would let it go for $125, so I was wondering if I could flip it for a little profit.

2-50lb
4-25lb
16-10lb
24-5lb
10-2.5lb plates in good condition..
About 505 lb all together. Plus 3 bars 15 lb each. And Dbells 2.5 lb each.

[Domicron]

i don't think you're going to find much cheaper than $0.25/pound...

if you want a good quality adjustable bench (i.e. commercial) then your best bet is to buy a flat bench now and keep looking for a used commercial one. then you don't have to settle

Could always get some standard to Olympic adapter sleeves for the lat machine and use Olympic plates.

[Domicron]

anyone hear of this brand before? apparently the bar is 120 shipped...wondering if it might be worth it for like 50 or 60 bucks

Thank for the heads up. I wasn't aware of these. Something like this- https://www.amazon.com/Body-Solid-8-.../dp/B002EEOOBQ

Like those. I've been considering the ones below for my reverse hyper, mainly because they appear to be metal and have a flange on them already. I believe the Bodysolid ones are nylon or similar material. Either of them probably work well enough on something like a lat machine.

I'm pretty sure that brand is sold under Again Faster's website. Why would you want a training bar? They're OK bars.

i have no need for a training bar, but maybe my wife would? doubt it. more curious about the brand.

there's a few good barbells (not this one) that've been up in my market...can't justify any of them though, sadly

Thanks, you're right. I would have preferred to just have one bench as I have limited space in my townhouse garage, but I may have to go with just flat for now.

i never thought i'd end up with a commercial bench in my basement and now i have 2. you have to keep looking, know what you're looking for, and be ready to jump on a deal when it appears.

FWIW it'd be nice sometimes to have a flat one as well as an adjustable so that you can work in 2 stations, or so you don't have to move around the heavier bench all the time

About 505 lb all together. Plus 3 bars 15 lb each. And Dbells 2.5 lb each.

The problem is that no one really wants standard plates.

I sell standard sets at 0.50lb including the bars. 10lb non branded or cap plates I tend to keep for pro style dumbbell making.

I said that at one point also...my plan was to have a Rogue adjustable bench 2.0 to use for flat and incline work in my "one" car garage...

Now I have one flat bench and three adjustable benches...

It's a sickness...

i think there might be a case to be made for a bunch of vintage standard plates with an Ivanko B-86, but i think i'm just trying to be contrary at this point

while i do agree with having 2 benches, still cant understand why not having 2 good adjustable benches vs one adjustable and one flat...

I have yet to try an adjustable bench that is as comfortable as a commercial flat.

If I had to choose, I'd rather have a commercial flat bench and a home use adjustable, than the alternative

[Domicron]

I have two commercial 0-90 benches, and one home FID, but no flat bench yet...

Get on the ball! Matrix has set the bar high when it comes to benches.

but then again you measure the vintage plates you own by the ton, no?

sorry, but you're on spread, and i have ADHD: it can't be helped

So this Tuff Stuff FID bench popped up on Kijiji today. Decided to jump on it and picked it up for $70 USD.

[CliveWarren]

No bottom sidemembers? Did you at least use them to square up the rack before bolting it to the floor?

do you know how many hot benches I own?

While I have 6 commercial adjustable benches....in counting....I do understand it would be nice to have a flat as well.

Here are the key point I see for a flat bench
1.) Light Weight, easy mobility
2.) Sturdy/solid, dont have to worry of any wobble in the top padding
3.) Pads are usually larger
4.) Height can be "alot" lower vs an adjustable
