Got a single with another pickup and it cleaned up real nice

I found this on marketplace and it solved a little problem for me. I like back extensions, and program them probably 2x a week. I have the ironmaster hyperextension attachment, which is a little annoying to install. It's cumbersome, you have to incline the bench and drop it back down with the attachment on... sounds like a minor inconvenience, but when I'm working out I prefer to have everything ready to go. I found this on FBM for cheap, and now just leave the hyperextension attachment for the bench on it, it was cheaper to buy this than a standalone machine given that I already had the attachment. Works fine, no complaints!

I got into vintage weights after the massenomics weight wall video, picked up some milled 45s and those things were like a gateway drug. I can't precisely tell you why, but basically the day I started looking into vintage iron, I wanted these plates, there's just something about their look that is extremely appealing to me. Found a single on the market and grabbed it, and hell yeah. One day I'll pair it up.

As other reviews mention, these are a cool piece of history, but I'll definitely die if I try to use them as squat stands. I got some of these really cheap on FBM and did a full restoration on them, they're really nice, I eventually plan to do the chalk bowl thing all the cool kids are doing, but for now they're a pretty good clothes rack.

I bought the whole SS4 bar because of these handles. I love seal rows, and always wanted a seal row bar so I could do them conveniently. Unfortunately I'm out of space for new barbells. The very moment I saw that the SS4 SSB had seal row handles I decided to replace my old SSB with one so that it could play double duty. Works great, I really like it. The only nitpick I have here is that the handles are fiddly to get on (threaded screw, and the thing you're screwing into it hidden back in the padding), and it sometimes takes me a few attempts, but it's not like I'm swapping these out more than once a workout.

Had this for years. Inexpensive, holds up, does what it says. Foam is dense and comfortable. Can't knock any points off anywhere!

I have had this for years, despite only recently have gotten a TRX. I really like its size (4x6 feet), the firmness of the material (enough give that kneeling exercises are comfortable, but not so much it's unstable), and the 12" spaced foot position markets are endlessly useful, I didn't realize how much I would come to like having them there for consistency. I will say that sometimes -- when I'm sweaty, mainly -- my hands can slip on the mat, but not (yet) catastrophically so.

I primarily strength train, and the suspension trainer isn't a super natural for much the training I like. That said, I keep this around for occasional use in high rep finishers. It's sometimes really nice to have access to something with much less stability, and it's a nice change of pace from moving barbells around.
