'Look What I Bought Today!' - Part Deux

[murphyreedus]

Didn't buy any BF deals, but picked this thing up. Needs paint and could use new pads, but it's the heavy duty one I've been looking for for too long.

[murphyreedus]

My wife's favorite deals are the ones where I think I'm going to buy only one thing and come home with a truck full.

Picked up some pretty rare pieces. Bodymasters CXP seated row, tricep bench, and a TK Star vertical leg press.

Nice pieces. I would love to have that seated row.

2 Matrix tall bumper plate racks. No more slumming it bending over to pick up weights.

Finally something to post here.
Dealer on ebay Canada. Obviously an import, but ships from Canada, no tax, free shipping, got it in less than a week, even with our postal workers on semi-strike. I best offered down an extra 15% and it ended being a lot less than what I could find on amazon, nevermind rogue.
I was expecting the worst, but I'm shocked about how good it came out and put together. Nothing loose, everything nice and precise. Tossed the included phillips screws (this isn't drywall) and use quality square drive (Robertson, because Canada) construction screws. I may go back and glue everything, but I doubt it. Has an internal brace on all heights, and I'm just using it for box jumps. My platform is already raised 8" off the ground, so this allows up to 32" before I start adding mats.

I like those. When I had bumpers (that I foolishly sold a few years back thinking I didn't use/need them enough) I build 2x4 grids and ended up setting them on boards over cinder block to raise them up. Ordered a set of bumpers from Vulcan yesterday so will be getting more boards and block.

Got my only black friday purchase:

Rep aluminium 15 lb training bar for my kids: Nice quality, knurling is perfect for younger kids. My 7 year old is already complaining it is too light (he can knock out squat and bench reps with a 45 lb bar but I want him to start really light and perfect form)

Rep 5 lb hard training bumpers: Not the prettiest but they seem like hard plastic and will do the job for $28 or so

Rep 40'x1.5" battle rope (amazing deal for $12): great quality, handles feel nice

Note: My garage is messy as crap, pics came in upside down and my floor looks bad in the winter due to contraction of being on the freezing cement.

Bought two 90" posts, two 24" crossmembers and a multigrip pullbar.

Found a way to mate this with my NL 92" squat rack to end up with a hybrid-half rack. I needed to shim the posts ¾" for the holes to align. Finaly, I flipped the bottom crossmember to tie everything together tightly. The only issue was that the holes didn't align perfectly so I used a ½" bold instead of the 5/16".

Pretty happy with the result.

Before/after pics attached.

If you weren't so far away, I'd tell you that the guy still had 4 left after I got my two. I've never really cared for horizontal bumper plate racks because they take up more floor space than a plate tree while also being less convenient to get plates from, but these put plates at a nice height plus give me a designated area to put shoes and stuff. They also don't stick out as far as the plate tree that was in the same spot, so less for me to trip over/bang benches and bars into.

I have been looking for these kind a bumper plates rack for while. Price on new one is little excessive. The key is height and easy to handle them . I have a horizontal bumper plate rack now which i need to replace. These would be perfect.

Yah that's a bit far. I've got a Rogue vertical tree that'll work for me.

Thank you, strongly recommend it if you ever come across one.

Yeah, these came from a local gym equipment dealer who sometimes sells scratch and dent stuff or stuff he pulls out of gyms after they buy new equipment. Not something I'd splurge for at new pricing, though.

[murphyreedus]

These don't seem to get much love, but I got them NIB for used iron plate pricing, so figured I'd try them out. Fit on the bar like my York iron, and are as quiet as regular bumpers. I haven't actually seen a review of them that isn't 10 years old, and didn't realize they even still made them.

Enjoy, congrats on your 1000th post.

Same as posted in the Werksan sale thread, purchased at close out of Werksan USA about a month ago, just received the KG bumpers yesterday. Deal worked out to basically $1/lb after shipping.

Picked up a Flex leverage leg extension to go with my single leg curl.

Great gym additions!

I bought a Weider 4950 cable pulley style home gym for $80. It isn't the best, but for the price, and my purposes, it's fine. I only wish I could make the leg press go heavier.

I can't get the pictures to attach for some reason but it was in mint condition. The family I got it from couldn't figure out how to assemble it correctly, so it sat in their garage for a while, and they sold it cheap to save space.

[oldred]

I needed a curl bar, maybe this was a bit extravagant. And I really didn't need another power bar but they were on sale.

Y'all know how it is.

Very nice, I know how it is, when I see that Eleiko logo I get an itch.

So nice. Can't go wrong with Eleiko..

A few black friday pick-ups for me. The highly touted American Barbell Revolving Triceps Bar, and a HyperVolt. So far so good with both.

UPS came yesterday. Ordered a set of Vulcan Alpha bumpers on BF after reading Coop's Garage Gym review. Last week I saw the Rogue 3-Tier Rack on FB Marketplace.



I suppose I ought to get busy and build a proper platform and then think about a new olympic training bar to go with it all.

Question - do you are anyone else have opinions on the US vs Non-US made models? How much better/worse? The US is more and stocked out. I'd be interested in one of these.
