2017 Black Friday/November/December Haul Thread

[Synthetickiller]

What do you guys plan on buying this season?

Bonus: If you guys don't mind, it would be really cool to post prices in this thread for next year or for sales in 2018 to see if we are actually getting good deals. No pressure as some people don't want to mention how much money they spend, but I think it would help the community out a little.

[AttyGuy]

Is it November already?

[Deep-Voiced-One]

Powertec selectorized stack for my lat machine, but I have no idea if it will go on sale (amazon got it priced at $390 shipping included)...I'm gonna see if there's better offers out there, or if amazon does a Black Friday sale for it.

Possibly BWTG's 2", or 2.5" rackable curl bar, or 2" fat grip lat assassin (possibly modded into a style like a discontinued Body-Solid cable attachment with a slight camber).

Either Spud Incs long ab strap attachment, or their hamstinger deluxe attachment.

Good thread by the way, maybe it can help scope out the best deals and promotions.

Short List:
Curl Bar
Junior bar (for wife/kids)
collars

The long list will come after my rack and bench is delivered.

[BigPaul0909]

-Ohio Power bar or see what kind of deal American barbell is running this year on power bars.
-10lb plates for my adjustable olympic dumbells
-some rogue mini bands
-possibly titan band pegs for my platform
-some 12inch wrist wraps, bought 24 in gansta wraps and absolutely hate them.
-apeman strong and rogue banners to cover some plain walls.

Hoping for a good deal on Kabuki's Shoulderok and possibly Boomstick. I believe they were 20% off with free shipping last year.

[bcradio]

Hopefully either a Duffalo Bar or SSB.

[swimmer32]

Not a lot on my list - but fairly expensive. I'll be looking at Stainless Steel power bars (Rep Fitness or American Barbell maybe?), Rubber and/or Urethane Dumbbells, and the Rogue Junior bar for my boys.

[MichiganWilliam]

Fitness Armory just posted their black friday prices. Standard Bumper Plates – $0.99/lb vs $1.50/lb. Is that too good to pass up? I'm just starting out and planned to buy the dick's sporting goods 300 lb set with bar for 199.

My standard Black Friday routine is to look at all the wonderful deals and then not buy any. I do usually have a little bit of luck during the holiday season and a little after in picking up some decent gear. it's not been stuff that resolutioners buy and sell...but my Ivanko haul was from someone moving into a new house...the TPB might have been someone upgrading...hard to say.

[turbolsxstang]

The main item on my list is a adjustable box squat most likely from edge or elitefts depending on who has the best deal. I'll probably also pick up some new bands and more chain too.

(Cambered squat bar would be nice too but, at this time I don't see that happening.)

[thejosef]

Couple items I'm looking at:

-Duffalo bar.. $475 shipped range would be nice, but probably not realistic
-5/8" Chains.. just looking for very cheap or free shipping
-Vulcan Strength Absolute Training kettlebells.. just got a 16kg one and it's real nice. Might add a 24kg.
-Plates.. Would like a few more pairs of Ivanko Revolver 45s, but buying new is brutal, and the 'new' quality is also kind of brutal. Lol
-Garmin Fenix 5.. I really like fitness/running watches, but would need a Serious deal on this to bite

[Mechanon84]

Looking for a deal on a full set of DBs 1-100. Also probably a SSB and maybe a rower.

[Bignick31985]

Hoping a good barbell sale occurs. I still want to upgrade to a Power Bar from someone (mainly AB or Rogue).

And Onnit KBs are usually 1/2 off. I'd like to get another 26# and 44# for double swings and 70# plus or so in their monkey design.

I don't care if they cost more than regular kettlebell, they look badass

[Domicron]

Honestly if i were in the market for a new barbell i'd be watching American Barbell. I don't recall Rogue having a great deal on any of their premier bars or if they did they sold very quickly. I remember AB putting out some great deals and i haven't heard a bad thing about anything with their name on it.

The way Rogue does their sale is completely retarded. You have to wait for things to go on sale at specific times, which makes it a real pain in the dick to bundle things and save on shipping.

[Bench905]

I don't need anything - I didn't budget for anything. I will buy things I don't need.

[bobcat255]

Did Rep announce a new SS bar?

I would agree, but do you remember what happened last year? They announced that stupid Cerakote Power Bar and I believe it was about $75 off ($475). Still more expensive than the Elite Power Bar (SS without coating). The Elite one wasn't on sale, which was a shame. Rogue got many more satisfied customers as a result.

right, almost forgot about that. "hey guys, next up is this rack that's your 2nd or 3rd choice. You'd be happy with it if that's all we offered, and you'd be upset if after this your top choice DOES show up, but we're not going to announce it!"

i liked when CFF did his 30 days of Black Friday thing where you got to see what was coming up so you could save your money (for other sites too).

haha i don't blame Rogue for that bull****, even though it WAS bs. they're selling items which they can charge more for (people don't want to pay more for an unfinishd bar) and their base is buying it up. just sucks for those that don't buy into the marketing.

We have an SS power bar coming. 205k tensile, stainless bar and sleeves, IPF only markings, center knurl. I'm not sure if we'll advertise it for sale for the holidays though as he first batch the factory made the IPF knurl marks 3" too far apart. They're working on the second batch now, but I'm 50/50 on whether to list them for pre-order once they ship, and also sell the defective batch for those who don't want to wait and would rather get a discount.

Our overall black friday sale will cover everything except our new functional trainer and any/all other products in our commercial line we're releasing later this month.

I'd be willing to bet that lots of guys would love to take those defective bars off your hands if the hash marks are the only issue!

[rlundregan]

I don't really have anything on the wish list at this point except a new belt, which I think my wife is looking into. That said, if I see anything really cool, I might just grab it. Last year I passed on a clearance sled from CFF that I'm kicking myself over.

[gym62richard]

Hoping for a deal on 20kg Olympic plates for my Hammer machines, I already have enough, but I have about 160kg of cheap cast Chinese plates, I'd like to move them on and replace with something nicer.

That's about it, I've already ordered a Watson single stack leg extension, I got a decent discount, so it wasn't worth waiting until Black Friday

Sorry to hear that. That must be very annoying to have a product come in wrong after dialing in exactly what you want.

I'm looking for bar storage this season. I'm guessing both a horizontal wall storage option (1 or 2) and one that sits on the floor. Rep seems to have the best ones out there for on wall storage. Will those accommodate fat bars (2" diameter)?

Reps looks like a good deal, the bummer for me was the size, they only offer 3 and 8 barbell holders, not a typical 6. The size made it too big for my space but the 8 bar holder looks nice and looks like a good deal but it is really tall.

I'm happy with the Rogue six bar holder. Titan also makes one but I can't speak to quality

Yea except that did happen to someone last year and Rogue canceled their sale and set them up for the one they wanted.

That's a shame they made the knurl marks too bar apart! Your best bet is probably just to sell those to forum members for $100 each to clear out the inventory on those defective bars.

Assume with bushings and price range $300 ,Duke?. It could be worth the weight for the actual one. The current one "defect" one still going strong. My son 15 year old only uses that. It is perfect for him .
