'Look What I Bought Today!' - Part Deux

[jdforsy]

Awesome pickup. Was this from the Power-lift used equipment section? They have a westside reverse hyper red/white listed - they have some great prices on amazing used equipment.

Also, for others, if jdforsy got it from there they have 2 listed for sale at $550 so there may be another one left: https://www.power-lift.com/products/used-equipment

. Yup was looking at the rogue and titan but kept coming back to the used legend and finally pulled the trigger. I had to set up my own shipping to save a few hundred but it all went very smooth.

Great pickup. Love my tilt top. For what it's worth that hinge in the arm will allow you to use the footplate effectively. Even though Rogue sells a footplate it WILL NOT work for normal human sized people without a hinge somewhere. Mech6 created an attachment for my unit but that's why the hinge exists on these older Legend built pieces.

Now honestly...I only have the footplate for completion and an additional option. The strap is pretty much all I ever use. That said at some point I'll do a training cycle with the footplate or work in reverse hyper leg curls using it.

. I have a call in to legend to get the foot roller made for this unit but the rogue one looks like it will work as well. Back pumps were through the roof this morning with just 50lbs for 4x12

I wouldn't bother with the foot roller. I always thought it was more of a gimmick.

I figured I'd post this here as well, I got my 2.5" fat curl bar from BWTG yesterday. When I opened it up it was knurled which is an awesome touch, here's some pics (I added more detailed initial thoughts so far in the fat curl bar thread I made and will add more thoughts as I get to use it and will post additional thoughts in that thread as well)...

Got this today

[murphyreedus]

Wasn't going to pick this up, but decided to give it a whirl after a favorable review from a really strong lifter I know. Initial impression is favorable, but haven't lifted with it yet. It was very well packaged - plywood in strategic places, foam blocks shielding the entire bar, and the entire bar wrapped in enough bubble wrap. Really better than expected from Titan, not a single scratch on the bar. I still suspect that they made it "rackable on safeties" instead of "rackable on hooks" unintentionally, but for what I'm using it for it doesn't make much difference.

[murphyreedus]

Picked up 2 Magnum benches today. The flat/incline is an M85, but I can't find much on the FID. Anyone recognize it and have a model number? Needs a few parts, but I might just have to make something.

Cross posting from Mech's thread.

Got my Mech's Belt SQ attachment for shorter Jammer arms.

The bubble wrap as usual is way over kill. For a sec i thought Mech forgot to send the loading pin and bolt as they were "hidden" deep. The box had 2 section . Top section was the attachment and the bottom section was the loading sleeve.

have to yet try it out. The 3rd pic is from Mech

Congrats - looks beautifully made!

I'm jealous. I hope to get one myself.

Rogers Pendulum Power Squat Pro XT

Rogers Pendulum Power Squat Pro

Congratulations, you have some superb pieces, and the Roger's Power Squat Pro is no exception, a true quad destroyer.

[nnclark11]

Congratulations! Great looking piece. Is the only difference with the XT the extra weight horn? I imagine the load would be much more direct in that position. I would love to hear your review vs the. Power squat pro. What are they charging for the XT brand new?

Rogers Pendulum Power Squat Pro XT

Gorgeous piece. Wish I had room for a few more pieces - this would be one of them.

[Rottweiler59]

Scored a couple of decent deals last week and they have delivered today. Hammer strength back extension £100 and a hammer strength horizontal leg press £450. This works out to about 130$ and 550$ US wise respectively. I’m sure Richard will attest that hammer strength prices in the UK even used are ridiculous so very pleased. Padding in great condition on both too.
I’ll try to post pics

Leg press.

[Rottweiler59]

Back extension

[Rottweiler59]

I forgot how heavy hammer stuff is. Delivery and shifting it around was a nightmare. Downside now is that the guy who wants to buy my leg press and back extension has suddenly stopped replying to my texts even though he’s paid deposit. My garage is now unusable at the minute.

Great deal, I paid £1,100 for my HS leg press, it was from a private home gym, never used in a commercial situation and in mint condition, never the less it sounds as if you've picked up a bargain.

Cheers. The frame has plenty of scratches but the padding doesn’t have a mark. It was from an MMA gym and I don’t think anyone used it much. It has the upper loading pins as well. Several I’ve seen only have the bottom loading pins. I’m very pleased as it’s by far my favourite leg press without putting any pressure on lower back. Feels great on my knees too

[Rottweiler59]

Richard just out of interest was yours from a guy in Liverpool? Or Prescott I think. I saw a guy on eBay who had some very high end stuff in a wooden shed or garage

I bought mine June 2017 from a guy in Surrey, he had a high end LifeFitness multi station unit and the leg press for sale, All in as new condition, I picked up both pieces and immediately sold the multi station to a local hotel, which covered the transportation costs and paid for about half the leg press.

Thanks gents!

Yes the extra weight horns over the shoulders are the only difference other than a couple of small cosmetic design changes.

The XT is more intense than I thought it would be. Not that the original won't light your legs up, this is just a bit more brutal. Kind of like loading a wheelbarrow with the weight away from the wheel and closer to the handles.

Rogers is asking insane money for the XT. The original Rogers Power Squat is $3400. I think they will be asking $4200 for the XT. I didn't pay quite that much. You can also buy a pair of the new arms and the cross brace to retrofit a Rogers Power Squat for $800.

Rogers is the heaviest built plate load equipment that I am aware. They recently went through some changes where they got rid of several salesman positions. A friend told me that they just had a price increase.

Richard, this place https://www.********.com/Hitworks/ has a Rogers Power Squat and they should be getting the new XT arms to install any day now. The owner is Peter Collins. Check it out if you are near that area. I would expect them to be getting more Rogers pieces in the future.

Stopped out at Dynamic Fitness today to pick up 3 rubber feet (all of $6) for my ladder bench. Left with a *bit* more:





Wife was not surprised.

Did you stop in and see their racks? I've been viewing those for awhile. Getting ready to pull the trigger I think.

Absolutely. Their Ultra Pro racks are hot if you have the space and the $$$.

I saw a familiar rack on ebay the other day...

I am pretty sure the angled Swiss bar I got is a Black Widow. Dynamic doesn't even sell one. No idea what it was doing in a corner in Dynamic's basement.

Also got a full set of comp bumpers:
4x45
2x35
2x25

Pairs of 2.5 and 5 change plates

Dynamic Badger bar
Troy curl bar
Trap bar
Kettlebells

And the 3 rubber feet that I went for originally.

I love their ultra racks - total overkill for a home gym which makes them even better. I'm digging their Titan racks as well. I'm outfitting a local college and eyeing the Ultra Racks though. I love the open top rack - but too long for my space. I'm sure I'll miss it!

Made the trip for rubber feet? I've made some trips with that excuse too......haha

They just changed their model lines, too. I think they've done away with the Edge line and now have the Ultra Pro and Ultra Pro 2. I think the Ultra Pro G2 is a little cheaper but has smaller bolts and colored powder coated racking instead of chrome.

The joke on the rubber feet is that I originally told my sales guy just to ship them to me, but then asked if they had any demo/seconds bumpers they were looking to get rid of. They did, and now they don't. Heh.

The York open top rack is definitely longer than it needs to be. I think about that every time I look at how my gym is arranged.

[Dont Want None]

Snagged a Prime Spreader Bar last week. Haven't seen anyone else with one of these, figured I'd take the plunge.
Initial impressions... Shipping was insane, handles came in an imprinted foam case basically. Powder Coat looks smooth, handles rotate extremely well, likely a TON of variations you can do here from changing exercises entirely to slight angle or grip adjustments. Only two downsides I notice after a week... Like most of these types of attachments, they are rather long. So pulldowns on my Powertec Levergym are likely a no go AND they can get in the way of some supersets. And, because the handles swivel so much, it makes carrying them and storing them slightly awkward. Would be a cool feature to be able to LOCK them in place. But those are pretty nitpicky.

Sorry for the less than professional photos, snagged them between sets.
