'Look What I Bought Today!' - Part Deux

Interesting Malve, just assumed like most that you had rolled rubber. I have seen it going back several years and its always been in my top inspiration gyms 5 here. Can you tell me anything about the puzzle flooring? We hear so much bad about it and i know rolled rubber is superior, but im windering if theres higher grade puzzle that may be better then what i have seen.
I have rolled rubber under almost all mu equipment but exposed concrete everywhere else in basement. I really dont see mysekf ever moving everything and putting diwn entire new floor. Would be nice if there was a decent puzzle mat i could used between everything akready floored.

Most puzzle flooring is crap - I don't know when it came out but there are puzzle mats that are made with the 3/8" rolled flooring. My local Depot has them, but it is the only Depot in the area that does. Not sure where else to find them.

Alex used the same thing in his gym, 1-2 years ago. I think they were from costco. You can't see the seams, looks exactly like my rolled flooring.

for me it would be the smaller sizes. A full roll is expensive - I was lucky and got a partial roll from CFF when one of their guys did his place. I was able to cut two 7' sections and had a 4'x4' scrap left over. I probably should have gone with 8' sections, but the 7' is enough

The rolled rubber flooring I got from Regupol came in the length I needed. I ordered 240 sq ft and it came as one 60' roll. It was only $2.36 a sq ft including shipping. I think Regupol and RubberFlooring Inc. sell the puzzle mats in the same material as the rolls. I didn't have to buy rolls of any particular length.

I haven't purchased much over the last year, so I was due for a big purchase. For the past 8-9 years I've used a TDS power rack along with their cable crossover attachment. I've wanted to upgrade for awhile, but I use the crossover so much that I needed something to replace it. So yesterday I took a trip with the family and picked up an Inspire FT-1 (pic from previous owner):



I'll take a few more pics once it's put together in my gym. But so far I'm impressed with the quality. The real nice thing is that the previous owner had upgraded to the 200 pound weight stacks. I paid $800 so I didn't steal it, but was happy with the deal for this area (I rarely see them for under $1k).

With the crossover replace, I was able to finally replace my rack. I've looked at a ton of options, but kept coming back to the commercial multi racks. I wanted something that I can overhead press in, and I like the beef of the open top racks. So today I'm taking a 6 hour round trip drive to ShowMeWeights to pick up a York multi rack:



They had it on clearance for $700 so I jumped on it. I can see a paint job in it's future, but I'll probably just do some touch up work for now so I can get it in the gym.

I'll be sure to post more pics once I get them in my gym!

Your patience in waiting and looking and asking questions has paid off! Enjoy the new, upgraded equipment.

[BulkMore]

Kinda off topic but I have a couple $50 off $250 lowes coupons...they expire 3/28...can be used online or in store...PM me if you're interested.

Congrats on the deals, looks like a freaking solid rack! Buy a large box of magic markers, I planned on painting my Magnum rack but was shocked at how much crap the magic markers took off. Patience is key, I scheduled a pickup for something I have been waiting on for a LONG while. Fingers crossed...

The suspense is killing me. Need to know and see pictures.

Haha, trying not to jinx it, supposed to pick up tomorrow morning so hopefully I'll get a picture up later tomorrow if I decide not to repaint.

Magic erasers?

LOL, yep those too.

I approve of this choice. Welcome to the York 3/4 rack club.

[urbanlifter]

Might be able to reinstate my York number now, saw this on CL for $200 and couldn't resist. No mid row, but for the price and 250lb stack it will fill a void in my gym nicely! Came with a couple nice pulldown bars, so that was a bonus!

[vhd16]

Nice pick up. Now there is no need to GHD. 😀This can be used for GHR's. . I tried with mine (BS plate loaded) . It is not bad.

250lb is plenty

Solid piece.

[urbanlifter]

Thanks! I think I'm going to like it alot, seems pretty smooth, but will need a new cord in the near future. The current cord coating is chunked up. Put it off to the side until I decide on whether it's getting paint in the next few weeks.

[RestoringTally]

I picked up a Body Solid Pro Clubline Lat Machine to replace my plate loaded BS high-low lat machine. I got a full set of attachments, all for $150. It was originally in a community center for a retirement community.

It has a 210 lb stack and is smooth as silk. I used copious amounts of car wax on the guide posts and stack plates when I reassembled it.

No good pics of the lat machine. I had to disassemble it from the home where I bought it, and then reassemble it in place. It is a very tight fit in my tiny gym (10'x12'). I barely have room to deadlift between my rack and the seat of the lat machine.


The roller pads are beat up on the inside near the center post. Unfortunately, the previous owner wrapped duct tape around the rollers, making them terribly sticky.

Also, the center stack column weighs 10 lbs, so I installed the weight stack with the weight marked "2" on top. With no weight selected, I measure 11 lbs at both the high and low attachment points. Close enough. The weight marked "1" is now at the bottom, below the "20" weight.

I don't think we ever took you off the list. Even Matrix is still on the list.

Very Nice! Also. impressed you are expanding into the next room..

I'll have to dig up my old number, I have redeemed myself and at least own SOMETHING York now. Should have taken my Ivanko one off a while ago, maybe I'll pick up a tricep rope from them since I'm in need anyway LOL.

Nice pickup RT, that Body Solid was my prefered lat pulldown for the mid row but I took what I could get. Pity about the pads, but at least BS seems to have reasonably priced replacement parts.

Haha. I'm slow boiling the wife, I'm going to run the idea by her when we talk about flooring, maybe do another 12x24' area in rubber flooring.

[vsral]

Had to drive 3hrs / 330km, but these plates don't pop up that often.

- They weren't for sale, but I saw them in a far corner of picture of ad
- Only sold them to me because he saw that I was a real lover of the vintage iron (and maybe because i already had a pair)
