Home Gyms

I got a Powertec levergym a while back. It makes a nice clothes hanger.

The house I currently live in doesn’t have space for a multistation like that. I had one 20yrs ago, but the ex kept it in the divorce. (I should have made him ship it to TX, but God knows what condition it would’ve been in.)

Since I don’t plan on staying in AL after kiddo goes off to college, the she-shed/bar/gym will wait until I get to where I want to go.

What bar did you end up grabbing for yourself?

This one from Grey Man Gear:

MULTI-PURPOSE OLYMPIC BARBELL — Grey Man Gear

Will you go back to PLing?

I would love to get back to powerlifting, but I’ve got tendon and hip issues that Mother Army and her cuck husband, the VA, don’t seem too interested in fixing. I’ll never see 600 on the leg sled again, that’s for sure. I’d just be happy to get some definition back.

Would you do a different program?

Has anyone found any bumpers that don’t cost an arm and leg to ship?

Did you try Amazon? I’ve seen them on there, many with free shipping. Sometimes they look to take a week or two for delivery.

At the moment most are either really over priced or out of stock. I saw a single bumper going for $250

@ThunderHorse, what did you pay in cost and shipping for your plates and bar?

I actually checked that page and the prices were great, but the shipping came out to $300 for me.

So, you're paying for a pair, I was so excited I just clicked through instead of reading because 45s may as well not exist in the current climate.

Bar
4x45s
4x25s
Bar Collars

All told 1030.

Won't be needing much else for awhile. That's 325lbs worth of kit.

I really hope things calm down in early 2021 at this rate. The run on gym equipment can't last forever.

I am utilizing some kettlebells and a pullup bar/dip station; thankfully I purchased a couple heavier ones before the doubling of prices. I would love to get back into Olifts, but I don't have room for that currently. Once we get a new place, I'd like to either get get some bumpers (Which may not happen due to prices as well) or maybe pick up a tire off craigslist and/or a sandbag. There's also molds for atlas stones that have piqued my curiosity for awhile now.

Work gym.

Got an order in for a squat rack that will be fulfilled, so that's nice. But it's gonna be a minute.

We have a local place that sells some new, some used equipment, "Play It Again Sports." I don't know if is a chain. Anywho, they have a metric shit-ton of KBs, as does Facebook marketplace and Criagslist.

The recent run on some of this stuff even predates the 'rona. A large piece is the new ACFT buy that big Army is doing, and that's not just for BeaverFit. It's a truly massive buy, something like 12k sets of full testing equipment for, I don't remember, but a bunch of lanes (12/16?). That's millions of lbs of bumper plates, millions of kgs of kettlebells, etc.

That said, if you're looking for some of our BF/GMG stuff and the website says sold out, let me know. I might be able to work things from the inside.

Sadly our local Play It Agains do not have ANYTHING. At least posted online, and Play It Again is pretty good about posting everything online, and you know which store and in what state it is.
