Couldn't pass it up, one has a small tear on the front face of the seat pad (not the top surface), about an inch long and its hard to even find. The other has a single nick on the main frame, otherwise they are immaculate. Couldn't leave the second one behind, I'm seriously impressed with the quality!

I think Jtaliani had the green walled gym if I remember. Those look awesome.

Been some great pickups here of late. That Atlantis machine takes the cake (WTF?!?) but this is an amazing find!

Similair to that Atlantis score I found these tucked away in the 'Health and Beauty' section, almost didn't get them but I'm glad I did.

Thats so crazy that you found 2 of the bench you where looking to buy anyway! I hate you! I want another 3103, best overall bench dollar for dollar in my opinion. I am curious how you think it stacks up to the bench you wrte considering buying used,was it the cybex? I know the cybex is considered one of the best overall adjustable benches by some, and you are a big fan. I think youll find the 3103 stacks up fvorable. You keeping both?

That Atlantis piece was a steal. I have one i am looking to buy which is 1200$, it is as clean as the one A7 bought. It is still a great price considering it is selling new 5000$!

Actually, I already had the deal in the works and was just trying to get some initial thoughts when I found your thread! I'm a huge fan of the Cybex 5435, that bench is really tough to beat for a few reasons. It's lower to the ground, cant feel the pad gap at all, and the lower seat in incline NEVER has issues with hitting the backrest. Coincidentally those are the biggest three things I noticed about the Legend 3103 right away (aside from it's weight). It's a little taller, my butt instantly hit the gap when I laid flat, and I had to play around with the seat height in the incline position. I'll probably keep my flat bench, and the Legend will make an amazing db bench.

In the Legend's favor it feels like a higher quality bench, the pop-pins are precision like I have never seen before, and regardless of inclined or flat there is ZERO movement. With the Cybex the backrest did had a little shift to it because of the hinges, which was more noticeable in the flat position. Overall though I'm VERY impressed with the Legend so far, and even full retail I can see why it's one of the most popular commercial benches!

didn't you already have a clone of the atlantis already??

[alexthaman]

yep it is a clone but it is not as good The leg curl is great but the leg extension is not as good. The padding are not perfect neither. Nothing comes close to Atlantis when it comes to quality. I have my eyes on a package of Atlantis selectorized units in mint condition. I will sell my clone when i have the Atlantis.

awesome pickup. you gonna swap the pad with the tear to the frame with the scratch and sell it? then you'll be left with a perfect bench and probably a profit to boot

I might end up keeping both, they are pretty awesome benches and I doubt more will surface for a LONG time. I'm going to put it through a few sessions before making a final decision on whether to sell my Atlas bench or not.

Of course you're going to keep both, it was a trick question. What ****ing forum are we posting in? "Reasonable and modest home gyms"?

2 x 3103's, for 60% of the cost a new 3103 here in the UK, now that's a truly Legendary score

LOL, Home Gym Gear Sluts (HGGS)!

After playing with bench today I'm definitely keeping my flat bench. The 17" Atlas bench works perfectly with my safeties, it's super light and easy to move around, and I have grown accustomed to the 12" wide padding. We will see how long both green monsters last, one is staying indefinitely it's just a matter of do I REALLY need two. Knowing my OCD with buying/selling equipment I have a feeling one might get sold just to fund the next purchase, so I might put an ad out there and let it sit until I get exactly what I want. In the meantime dedicated benches for flat, incline, and military!

I saw those benches when I picked up some nubells from the same seller. They looked brand new. I have too many benches to start so I passed

[vsral]

Went back to FIBO today to pick up some stuff.

I think I pushed my poor car to it's limits: 300kg rubber flooring, 120kg of DC Blocks, 100kg me, and some other **** (trolleys, water, food...).
Well, over 60% discount on brand new stuff. Worth it.

having a wide pad is really tough to beat. i like my bodymasters bench more than my prostar in just about everything except that my PS has a wider pad, so that's the one i bench with..

still, one for the dumbbells, one for the rack...i dunno doesn't seem like too much of a stretch to me. maybe keep both until you can trade one with a decline...

[matrix563]

that's why even though my free nebula isn't too pretty, now that I have the decline pad for it. I never got rid of it .

I'm leaning towards keeping them, gym looks awesome having three benches setup and ready to rock. My wife has actually weighed in on this as well, which shocked me because normally she doesn't give a DAMN what I do in my gym. She took one look at them and said "You are keeping both right?". +1 for Legend Fitness, got the wife's elusive stamp of approval...

Right on my fellow gear slut 👍👍

That's the only way to go ha ha

Go BIG or go home! I'm doing the three bench tango too 🤡

Urban
If it were me I'd have an aweful difficult time letting either of your pristine Legend benches go.

[urbanlifter]

Thanks for the reinforcement man, good to get some outside perspectives so I don't do something I will regret again. I'll keep them both and just enjoy having lots of options, space is a non-concern so I'm out of excuses aside from trying to buy other stuff. Reps on spread fellas.

Definitely keep unless you don't have the room. I'd have at least one over in a free space by dumbbells as a dedicated adjustable bench for DB work.

BTW - your wife is awesome. You've made everyone on the forum jealous.

Urban, those benches are awesome. Congrats!

Thanks, I'll let her know haha! Over the years she has put up with countless Craigslist runs, as long as I continue to turn a few things into cash she is happy

What would these orangish marks would be? Did not look like rust.

Could just be paint marks from a j-cup or rack upright?

[EricAtl]

Picked up some more York plates today. I think at least 2 if not all 25s, 3 of the tens, and two of the 5s are milled. Plus the ship wheels, but they need some work.

[Cleveland33]

Just an FYI, those are spinlocks not shipwheels

[geoalesolo]

what brand is that ghd? looks like my powerlift sort of

Its a Tuff Stuff GHD
