I don't trust anything that doesn't have center knurling.
This doesn't, shipping weight 19.25 pounds
This does, shipping weight 45 pounds.
My gym has both and I've picked them up one after another and couldn't really tell, but I'm so paranoid about it I just switch out for one with the knurling in the middle.
edit: Another example of a 7-foot PR buster. 32 pounds.
Here's what the garage looked like last week.
The only decent gym in my area charges $50 per month and it's always packed, so I figured i'd try building a gym for the price of roughly a one year membership (~$600).
Here's the rundown:
Total - $815
I went a bit over my budget, but I might still end up selling some of those Olympic plates. I justified the extra I spent by telling myself I can always just sell most of this stuff on CL and still end up with a relatively minimal loss compared to what I originally bought the stuff for.
I'm also probably going to buy a pair of dip handles and something to tag onto the side of the cage to hold the rest of the weights i've got stacked in the corner.
I have pretty much a brand new weight bench with 40lb bar and weights totaling up to 185lbs (with bar weight added) that I want to sell, I'm just not using it. Had it about a year and might have used it 10 times at most. Only issue is with the pin that raises the bench up for incline presses, the dog chewed on the black ball part of it but it still works fine.
here's the bench I got off amazon

About $450 total from what I got off amazon. Make me an offer? I'll start at $380 and throw in the mats I also got: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B4IHXRU/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
