They sell good stuff and the price is right.  I bought a four way neck machine from them and it was a good value.

I thought they were going out of business (NYBB)? back in 1999 or 2000, I got my power-rack there, a lat-machine and some other things, all shipped free.
I still use the rack and lat-machine...

I got my neck machine about two years ago or so. Maybe they went under and then started up again.

This is why I wish I had learned how to weld and cut metal as a teenager.  You know it is useless but some people will still buy it.

Darwin (the guy who designs all the equipment)  sold out to a holding company- but they kept him on as engineer. I've had their stuff for years- it lasts forever and can be fixed easily.

4 for $1 at Home Depot.

Same here. I hate those things.

Why not do it like the legends?

 Because other than Franco, the guy in front is contributing nothing to the actual work load.

Should’ve bought a dozen eggs instead

I had one laying around the garage but saw them in my last sojourn to HD.

Heckuva deal.
