They sold the FK out of everything. I think there is only 5 bags left in inventory across 13 weight options. Sale went over like wild fire. There are still Husafell bags, training bags and throwing bags. Grabbed a 250 Husa to get some front load carries in.

From the picture it looks like it's angled unlike the super cheap ones out there. Price is good and it says it weighs 60lbs. Never heard of the company though. To me it would probably come down to the cost of shipping since I didn't see free shipping on the site. If the shipping bumps the cost up to around $220 then I'd probably go with the Yes4All one on Amazon that we talked about a few pages back. I like Amazon's return policies and that bar has good reviews now. If the shipping is free then I'd be tempted to jump on this one.

Edit: Also just saw that Bells of Steel has their first SSB on sale for $245. I saw the newer version and didn't see anything that really made it better than the version that's on sale now.

Thanks I’ll look into the BoS option too.
There’s also synergee (who makes all my barbells) but it’s not currently on sale.

I think the synergee bar may have been the one I ordered from Walmart a long time ago. Happy I ordered from Walmart because the return was easy. The sleeves weren't offset like I wanted. $191 is probably going to be the best you can do price wise.
 
Anyone grabbing some BF sale yet? Eyes on anything

I want a Nordic/Back Extension combo. Deciding between the Freak Athlete piece that has a bunch of other things it does (although probably not super well) and the Tib Bar guy version that just does those two things.

Between those two I'd go with the Tib Bar guy version. Looks solid and it's cheaper. It seems like the reverse hyper function on the Freak Athlete might be somewhat useless since it depends on bands for tension. At the bottom of the movement there would be little to no tension when the muscles are completely stretched so you would only work the top half of the movement.

That's what I'm thinking too. I'm not strong enough to do real GHRs anyway, so I wouldn't use that part for the time being. Eventually maybe I get a GHR/Reverse Hyper dedicated machine thats better for that.

The one stupid part I like is the hip thrust pad, because I hate using my bench. But I think I found a workaround: I'm going to stop doing hip thrusts.

That advertisement is haunting. It's showing up everywhere. Meaning if it hits a black friday discount it's gonna sell out this week. You been doing a lot of comparing?

Both are on a pretty solid discount now, but the Tib Bar Guy is significantly cheaper. I almost pulled the trigger on the Freak Athlete one back in the pre-order days over the summer when it was like $500. Oh well.

You deserve this. Worked hard all year for 1 sale. Santa claus yourself. We'll all back your decision
 
Was trying to refrain but 1 damn persistent sale was showing up on my ads over and over. Mostly because I clicked on it 4 times.

Grabbed a wall mounted rig from Again Faster . 4 ft spacing from wall with 93 inch pull up bar 3x3 uprights. Plans are to move the Lever arms to it so they actually get used. And that will clear them off the front of power rack. It was $300 cheaper than anything comparative and the stupid marketing Low inventory, order soon sunk the hook in .
