Buy Weightlifting Bench at Auction
Wednesday, July 14th, 2010I was cruising the liquidation auctions for sporting equipment when I spotted this new weightlifting bench and rack. It’s new, not salvaged or return, but I didn’t recognize it as a Body Solid or Weider, so I did a quick search and found out it from “Weight Spotter” a company founded by an avid lifter Gary Cormier.
Cool design. If you fail on your final rep, you can set the bar down on the “Weight Spotter” bar in the front.
From the Weightspotter.com website:
The Weight Spotter is always there to help minimize the risk of serious injury. When that ‘ one last rep’ turns out to be ‘one rep too many’ and you can’t get the bar back up on the rack, the Weight Spotter is there. Simply roll the bar forward and the Weight Spotter will do the rest! The bar and weights ride up and away and held safely with our engineered spring-return safety locks freeing you from a potentially dangerous, crushing injury. The exclusive design of the Weight Spotter
puts the safety rails close enough without interfering with your workout.
Designed for the most common lifting practices: incline and flat presses, the Weight Spotter Silver Series is designed for Olympic 7 foot bars and weights up to 250 lbs.
This is available NOW at an internet-site home gym auction so you might have to outbid other people, however, if you are the only bidder you will nab this up for $100!
I do not recommend you pay for shipping – this weighs too much to pay freight charges, but if you live near Lawrence, Massachusetts, or New England thereabouts, and have been looking for a new rack and weightlifting bench, check it out. Paying $100 at auction is a good deal considering it costs $299 plus shipping at the official website of weightspotter.com.
This unit is available through the weekend at Liquidation.com. The auction closes 17 July 2010. This could be a one-off auction, but it is usual for companies to sell a lot more units in up-coming auctions. You can sign up for free at liquidation.com and get free emails alerting you to home gym equipment, treadmills, stationary bikes, resistance bands, and a lot of other stuff.
