'Look What I Bought Today!' - Part Deux

[TheLIFTHOUSE]

Really nice set-up LIFTHOUSE! Could you post a close up picture of how the mono-hooks attach/ move. Repped.

Thanks I hope the pics are clear enough. These monos are pretty easy to move up and down on the rack. Unlike the Rogue monos, these have no welded on locating pin so I don't need to tip them out like a j-hook to slide them up or down. I only wish they would have lined the inside with UHMW for some finish protection on the rack.

That's interesting, I've never seen that method before.

Another recent purchase from a fellow forum member. Sorry for the picture quality.

Panatta lat pulldown.

Awesome machine with great motion path. Works best with overhand grip positions. Would like to try the high row with the neutral and underhand grip positions.

These recent add to your gym are awesome. I really like that panatta lat machine. Will we ever see some pictures of your setup? I am curious for a long time to see it?

This.

You're getting some amazing equipment. On spread.

Thanks C123C The rack started out as Northern lights copy of the Rogue S2 squat rack. I added the rear uprights and X-bars but did have to modify some things at work as there are no true bolt on parts for the S2 or my copy to make the plate storage. What Monos do you have ? The ones I have are Northern Lights and have removable pins and slide up and down the rack pretty well. I did just start using them so maybe its the newness that's I am feeling right now

I had Rogue Monos in the past but snagged a pair of Mech6 made ones when someone was changing racks. I'm now locked into Rogue Monster Lite forever but I have the full setup I want so no complaints! Both Rogue and Mech6 monos are heavy, I also don't get a whole lot out of it on the bench. One advantage to longer arms on the bench (the only one) is that my unracks are pretty easy. I don't have too much of a problem pulling heavy singles out.

Seriously.. some incredible pieces! deadwoodgregg, we need gym pics once you find a place for everything!

[matrix563]

nothing special.

got this free dumbbell and $40 in a trade

[krlafont]

Got a 20ft rope set up. (now I need to learn how to climb the thing)

Had to do a little tree pruning, but apparently the deer have been pruning my bushes too.. Bastards!

Nice!

Pro-tip: Don't fall from 20 feet up.

I have a 10 foot one in my gym, for convenience, but really need a taller one outside.

I had 18' before I moved, didn't use it as much as I should have. I always wanted to be able to climb it legless. Have the same problem as a body weight OHP, too much body weight.

We need a video of climbing during the day in the month of Feb .

He needs to get there first to fall right?

Yeah, I am a little concerned about that. Told my wife that I may need a landing pad just in case the kids climb it

I honestly thought I would go right up the thing... not so much... legless is out of the question, but I might mark the 10 foot line for legless!

You ever get that Squat above 135lbs yet?

I did some minor tree removal this past weekend.



Had to use the second Bobcat to protect the roof of my shed.

Panatta lat pulldown.

You continue to accumulate some epic equipment! I would love to try that. I came into an avenger pulldown not too long ago that was even better and superior to what I thought in every way. I wonder how it stacks up to this. Thanks always for sharing.

I had a rare (1 of only 2) ISO/fused Avenger pulldown, and sold it for good coin. Now that I have the Panatta, I have zero interest in picking up the Avenger again. Would like to get the Panatta high row someday. There are a couple of Avenger pieces available in the Atlanta area right now.

I'm selling a bundle of good pieces next week to fund the next gym equipment upgrade.

The Panama looks great. I have not seen the avenger pieces for sale. Where are they listed. Thanks.

This guy had an Avenger shoulder press and a pulldown earlier this week. He still has a few interesting pieces.

I believe he had a Freemotion plate load squat a few months back. Always wanted to try that piece.

Congrats, I'm a big fan of Panatta, being based in Europe I've had the opportunity to try out a fair amount of Panatta equipment and your lat pulldown is right up there with their best pieces, the free weight shoulder press, vertical chest press, high row, mid row and leg bridge are just exceptional,
bio-mechanically Panatta consistently get it right.

Unfortunately used Panatta equipment doesn't come up very often, but I'm always on the look out.

Thank you. I guess I missed those. I have met this guy before, he had an actual store at one point. I looked at a Hammer incline chest that he had last year.

I got my avenger pulldown from this same guy before Christmas. Really nice guy with a great set up from what I have seen. He literally drove 7 1/2 hours through the night and dropped off the avenger and a mint dynabody standing chest at my home. Acted like it wasn't a big deal. I guess he needed the cash so it was a win for him as well. He has some awesome equipment too.

[EricAtl]

That dynabody standing chest press looked awesome. Great pick up for you. I saw one in an episode of mutant on a mission recently. He has another in not as good condition. Can you post pics of your gym. Thanks.

[BaggedMerc]

Grabbed this Rogue Monster Utility bench (Shorty W/ Competition pad) last night. It's a beast

It is a great piece. I have found pressing from a standing position is safer and much more effective than sitting (even with DB). It is even better with bands. It would be perfect if it had a little convergence. I have about 2Ksq ft of my basement packed with 70+ machines and 20-30 more in my garage waiting to be set up until outbuilding is built. It is a cluster now.

Hulkfit open trap bar. If you're looking for a top end trap bar, this isn't it, but it's good enough for what I need. I'd call it Cap quality for fit and finish. A few design changes and it could be an awesome bar.


Pros:

- Ridiculously long sleeves (almost 20"!!)
- Open design is nice for carries
- Can be racked on power rack safeties if spacers or collars are added to keep weights out further

Cons:

- Everything but the sleeves is made from 1" steel round, including the grips. 1" grips are thinner than I'd like on a trap bar
- Knurling isn't consistent on the grips. Very sharp in most areas, very light in a few spots. Neutral grips, so doesn't really matter
- Collar to collar is 44", making it not rackable on my power rack hooks


~405 with thin bumpers doesn't look like much on this (77 pound) bar, even with my lazy Crossfit-style plate loading:



Added a few collars to be spacers, worked fine for racking weight on the bar for OHP. I'll cut a few spacers out of PVC for something easier to set up:

Vulcan V-lock change plates. Rogue Jcups for the rotated front posts of my Crowther rack. After I've used the Jcups I'll post some comparison pics of the them and the Crowther catches on the Rack thread.
