'Look What I Bought Today!' - Part Deux

[BenMcLeodNZ]

Thought I’d post it here too. Atlantis fitness adjustable bench. Picked it up from a company that used it at a fitness expo in London and didn’t want it. Paid about 90$ for it. Other than some scratches on wheels and plastic surround it’s excellent condition. Very heavy duty. Think it weighs about 160lb.

Nice bench.

Picked up a Life Fitness Multi-Adjustable Bench for $150. Rock solid compared to what I'm currently using (Ironmaster Super Bench) but still deciding if I'm going to keep it or flip it.

Looks like a keeper, but I'd use it for a couple weeks and see how it is in practice.

Picked up a menagerie of equipment today (1 King Fitness, 2 Hoist, & 3 Cybex) for a steal. This is the first time I've seen the older Hoist stuff in person and it's legitimate commercial quality. Their newer stuff isn't made nearly as well imho. Keeping the King lat pull/row combo and the Hoist leg curl/extension combo. Flipping the rest.

PowerBlock Pro EXP 5-90-lb set w/ stand. I picked up a 5-75lb hex DB set a month ago to replace another set of PBs, but saw these today and couldn't pass them up. These are my second choice PBs after the commercial set Rogue sells, but these cost me 1/4 of what Rogue is charging for those.

got the bun for 8 bucks. not bad. got a second grinder in case the first one burns out. i think they are identical. 20 for each one.

cat food was 40% off. bought all they had. cat is set for 7 months lol. wish i could be fed for only 41 bucks lol.

[matrix563]

free lol

free lol

Can't beat free. Some lucky SOB in my area got a gym full of urethane plates for free last week. I asked the gym owner about them and she said they weren't for sale yet. When I messaged her 2 days later for an update, she said she gave them away to a guy that bought a bunch of equipment from her.

I bought a new looking Ironmaster stand for $30. I plan to use it for some gym equipment. I already have a dumbbell stand I made myself but the Ironmaster stand is a bit more versatile for gym odds and ends and the various other dumbbells I have. I might buy some Ironmasters in the future if I downsize and often the used ones come without a stand.

Small purchase, but I haven't been to TSC in a while so I thought it was worth mentioning. They have 3'x4' rubber mats now in 1/2" thickness for $23, pretty much exactly what I needed for the belt squat platform (minus a foot in width). Speckled with hints of red and blue that don't really show in the photo, they are pretty nice looking which shocked me.

Urban that worked out great! i didn't know TS had those. Thanks.

[chadsalt]

They probably got tired of all the whining about how heavy the full size mats are LOL

It's actually REALLY nice and doesn't stink too bad, highly recommend. Had them sitting out front when I went in to get a boring stall mat, saw these and did a double take. Now I can put the top back on my homemade powertec belt squat and contemplate its future. A dedicated lat pulldown sounds nice, stupid me sold the York w/stack so I'm back in the market.

Good deal. Those aren't cheap.

[Duplicitous]

Picked up 2 more Cybex pieces today (leg ext & leg curl). I'm now got some duplicates (I had read about this equipment addiction), so I'll be flipping those.

[matrix563]

You flipping these? I've been aiming to eventually flip enough stuff to cover my entire gym cost. If I sell all of the overflow I have, I'll be close.

I'm not gay, but $50 is $50.

Elitefts SSB, $150.

Got this Schwinn 113 for $1 because it had an error code on it (e2).

For anyone who gets an e2 code on a Schwinn, the manual says check the data cable, but that's unlikely.

I opened her up, and there's a little black box that contains gears and these adjust the magnet distance from the flywheel to change the difficulty, it was seized so all I done was poke a screwdriver in and move the gears a bit to free them and now it's working perfectly, quite a nice bike that I use while gaming. Takes at least 30 min by the time you take it apart.

If anyone see's a free faulty Schwinn on craigslist I recommend you give it a go.

Nice! Congrats.

Nice! Congrats.

Thanks man, nice SSB too, they look good to use. To me they look more dangerous though, should probably be called ergonomic squat bars or something lol.

I had never used one prior to picking that one up. For the last couple years I have had some shoulder issues that make the typical squat bar position very uncomfortable during flareups though, so I figured I'd see if an SSB would help alleviate that. The EliteFTS bar seems to have very good balance and the handles are appropriately spaced (unlike v1 of Titan's SSB), so I really have no safety concerns.

[OldButGame]

I've seen those Paramount rotaries,...really like the design,...good score at that price IMO.

Those Marcy plates are nice. Not sure about quality or accuracy but they look cool to me
