Was a good deal for both parties for sure! He gets the hyper and $200 cash, but the hyper only cost me $50 so I get the plates cheaper than retail!
Haha, thanks! Kinda rolling the dice on these with unknown future plans from Rogue, no official statement on how 'limited' this run will be. But hopefully it will pay off some day (fingers crossed).▪█─────█▪ Equipment Crew #58 ▪█─────█▪

Yes, they are pretty much identical in terms of quality except for Arnold. Both descriptions say higher quality 'ductile' iron and they have the same pleasant ring to them. I plan to keep scooping them up if the deal makes sense, still watching the website for if/when they release more.
Yes sir, benefits of being close to Columbus!
Edit: Cause pictures are better...haha

Latest addition to my home gym: Body-Solid PFT100 Functional Trainer:
Really lucked-out with the timing. It was on sale for $125 off, they were out of stock in the stock plates; so I got a free upgrade to the Red plates; they cut me a deal on the additional 50 lb. stacks, and it was free shipping.
The thing just barely >< clears the ceiling. I've about 1/2 in. over the top of the highest pulleys.
Ordered the aluminum lat pull-down and double-swivel bar with it. Ordered a triceps rope, too, but, that's on back-order. Should've bought a set of 5 lb. fractional weights. I'll probably order those today.
The short straight bar, ab crunch thing, and ankle cuffs (in the bag) you see hanging there I bought from my old gym when it closed its doors.
The mats you see to the left of the FT are the The Strength Company deadlift mats I bought a couple weeks ago. They're pretty damn substantial.
Next up: Squat rack. That'll be in about 4-5 weeks. Then the gym will be complete. Maybe

Thanks! I've really been looking forward to getting an FT into the home gym.
I started putting together the home gym in November. I knew I'd want an FT, so I started researching them right off. In pretty much every multiple-machine review article, the Body-Solid PFT100 won for most economical credible choice. I've several times tried to talk myself out of it--into machines costing $700-$1000 more, and couldn't see the sense in it.
The only downside is it's a bit wider than most FTs, at 63 in. OTOH: I'm tall and have long arms, so that's advantageous for me for chest flies. Also: It doesn't have a multi-grip chin-up/pull-up bar, but, with mere inches of clearance over the bar, I can't use it for those, anyway.
(Though it has occurred to me I could cut out a section of the ceiling, between floor joists, right over the center of the bar, then finish the cut-out, giving me the headroom. Can you imagine future owners of the home looking at that and thinking "WTF?!?!")

Thanks!
Yep. And one of the points often cited as a negative is a lack of accessory hooks. Well, Body-Solid apparently listened, because now it has them on the back of the center horizontal frame member.
They are! And red's my favorite color
I'm toying with the idea of seeing if I can find detailing pinstripe tape to match that red and adding it to either side of the "POWERLINE" legend in the back
