REP just launched its 97th? Bench variation. Thought I was in a debate about which one to get . Some look better, some are priced better, some have color options. Then remembered I don't use a bench but maybe 5 minutes twice a week.
They doing too much with these 3100, 3200, 4100, 5100, 5200V2 , Batman, WingRaptorV.3 , FID footpad edition...

The 4100 was the most I was willing to do and I still cringed paying $400 for that. After getting I was satisfied though. It's heavy and I wouldn't pay more to get one of the bigger/heavier benches.

That one seemed to be the best fit for price to function + customizable. Good looking bench too.
Benches, SSB, Camber bar and power bar all on the list of comparing multiple. Really got to thinking, none of those are used enough to justify buying.
Was a fake moment of being responsible. More the fact that kids and life were sucking all the funds away.
 
Probably going to get robbed to death tomorrow. Lady on Marketplace put up a full set of plates, bar, curl bar, bench, Bowflex adjustable DBs, and some fixed DBs for $140. I clarified that she was selling it all for that price and agreed to pay her cash. I checked out her page and everything seems legit.

Plan on grabbing everything except for the bench. Don't need any of it and will likely flip it all if it pans out. She marked it as sold so maybe I will be the only one getting got tomorrow.

great find. Hopefully it was left behind from a son moving out and she don't have a clue. Or she's gonna eat your testicles for supper.
 
Got myself a new bench for playing around with for now

Didn't get raped or murdered. Picked up 255lbs of plates, Bowflex DBs, bars, and some light DBs with a 20lb kettlebell for the $140 we agreed on. Left behind a couple of cheap benches and squat stands and I think she felt like she was getting a deal. Should make a decent profit off of this.
 
Turned that $140 into $540. Coincidence that the half rack conversion kit I have been looking at is right at $400 after tax and shipping.

Tape measure is an underrated gym tool, mine stays in the gym room. I've kept going back and forth on this. With most other purchases I make my mind up, but kid myself with continuing the back and forth. Actually undecided on this one so that make me lean toward no. $400 for the kit then another $150-$200 for the storage posts would be a bitch to spend and not be happy.

Being responsible is stupid. How you supposed to have buyers remorse if you don't buy. lol

how bout a kid race car roller coaster track for doggo instead

shopping
 
Saving for large purchase soon. Had 1 set in mind and been pumped about ordering , then the damn Isolator has been crammed on every feed on the web and is quite attractive for it's versatility. Really attractive.
Torn between jumping on the Bulletproof train while it's $100 off or getting the Rogue Rubber atlas stone set of 100 / 150 / 200.
Can't ask the boy, he hates sandbag days lol.

They are doing a good job promoting the Isolator, I've seen it a bunch too. It looks like a solid investment. I'd probably be pissed if someone dropped off a 200lb rubber ball at my house. Have to go rent a forklift to move it, but I can see how you'd get your money's worth out of those things too.

They have a hellova marketing team pushing that thing. I swear it pops up 4-5 times per day. Don't let those subliminal bastards beat us!

Stones would so much fun to get into. Has to be close to but some difference over tossing sandbags. No doubt would get daily use of them for a long time. You could shoulder that 200 and pack it around like your bitch in 2 sessions.
 
Went ahead and ordered the seal row pad from BoS. Tiny gym limitations may mean I'll have to use a curl bar for the actual rows, but I think that thing may have other uses I will take advantage of.

Price around $150 is too good to not jump on. Even if you have a 1" hole rack, I can link a fab shop that will send you (2) 5/8 to 1" adapters for $25.
Bells is making noise. They're putting out some nice stuff and really listening to the crowd. Expecting a review in a month :)

I went cheap when shopping for my rack so got the monster lite with 5/8" inch holes. The one time when going cheap isn't something I regret. Attachments are always cheaper than the monster version and now with hydra shit is even cheaper.

Calgary Barbell's new office/gym got kitted out with some Bells of Steel stuff and it looks really good, would be an option to look at for me if they had a UK option
