What Have You Bought?

Jon's Gym will soon be open for business

[Dog-amoto]

 

And a slightly more boring (but only slightly ) purchase.

 

A pack of 5 pairs of socks from Next, because my girlfriend keeps stealing them and they end up at her house so I usually spend every morning hunting down a clean bastard pair even though I do laundry every few days!!

 

[Josh64]

 

Got one of these with my bro @f00had

 

And got myself...

 

 

Monkey Ball was 7 quid, so not bad at all. Especially considering how much I love the series!

I want that power rack so bad.

What brand were the weights in the end? What finish? (it doesn't really matter, weights are weights, but I'm curious )

 

Is it wrong that I'm genuinely excited for you?

[drahkon]

Dude, that’s not the belt you will be wearing with your outfit on that picture in the forum users pictures thread where you said something along the lines of “maybe I need a belt”, is it? Because that would be the wrong belt. Next time, I’ll choose a belt for you!

 

Dude, that's not a belt, it's a wrist strap.

I bought 3 PS Vitas, I'm going to play Persona 4 Golden on one, Soul Sacrifice on another and DJ MAX Technika Tune on the third one.

Everything is by Bodymax. The weights are a cast finish. I've actually added some more now, so got a total of 120kg worth of plates.

 

2 x 20KG

2 x 15KG

2 x 10KG

4 x 5KG

4 x 2.5KG

4 x 1.5KG

[Ashley]

I can has Vita?

 

*flutters eyelids*

[f00had]

Sorry mate I need them for my games

[Magnus]

I know the Vita is pretty cheap now, but that still seems a bit much.

[Ashley]

It does prove though; if Nintendo lowers the price on the Wii U they will enjoy much better sales because f00 will buy one for every game he has.

'Mirin hard.

 

At the moment, I've got...

 

2 x 25kg

4 x 10kg

4 x 5kg

4 x 2.5kg

6 x 1.25kg

some 0.5kgs too.

 

Next on my list is to get some 15kgs and possibly some 20kgs at some point, too. Just for variation and making it easier/quicker to rack heavier. I love my 25kg plates. Everything is cast iron and just racking those plates feels awesome as fuck...yeeeeah, this stuff is mine.

 

Also brah, don't forget the weight of the bar. Depending on what bar you've got, it should be between 10-20kg.

 

Also also, 3 Vitas? So, that's got to have tripled their sales?

[Aneres11]

Lol Flink.

 

Beat me to it.

 

 

Nothing exciting from me - just a tie. But a damn fine tie.

It's a 20kg, 7ft bad boy. Total weight is 140kg

 

Need a few more Chickens before i'm getting anywhere near that

Hnnnnnnnng.

 

The beauty is that you can cook something straight before or after your workout. You can have a chicken stew or something cooking on the cooker and then do your workout. You just save so much time everywhere. Quite often I'll work out whilst Ine is cooking. Immediate food when I'm done with showering.

 

I really like the look of that rack. When I finally move out of those flat and hopefully into my own house, I'll go for that one. I'm content with standard weights, so I'll stick with those. But, that rack...oh my.

[ReZourceman]

Why has no one asked;

 

Why one Vita for each game?

 

Or am I missing something obvious?

[Jon]

Hnnnnnnnng.

That is the biggest factor for me. It will save so much time not having to commute to the gym. I'll no longer have to worry about getting to the gym at a decent time before it overruns or never face a battle to use the equipment I need. The only thing i'll miss are the pretty ladies and the bikes. Although I've been eyeing up a bike that's available for £200 odd that might join my facility in the future :wink:

200 seems alright for a bike, although I'm sure you can probably get a great deal on a good model if you shop around.

 

As for the women: Put on some raunchy videos/porn for dat testosterone boost, nomsayin'?

 

I don't really miss the cardio equipment at all. My cardio consists of football when I'm at school, skipping out (very under-rated) and squash. Get a static bike might be an idea for the future, though, but I've never really found them comfortable. My arse doesn't like it.

[ReZourceman]

Does that power rack allow you to do pull ups? What else is it used for?

Haha yeah, I've always wanted to work out with the Eric Prydz 'Call on Me' video in full view

 

My arse isn't much of a fan either, I always just imagine i'm Lance Armstrong without the drugs. Do you do any cardio prior to lifting? or just stretching maybe?

Yep, that's what the handles at the top are for. The handles on the right are for dips. It's can be used for a lot of different things, Squats, Bench Press, Overhead Press, Inverted Rows, Power Cleans, Deadlifts etc.

I just want to know if he's going to keep buying a new Vita for every game even after signing up for PS+.
