Hey Mate i don't have a photo but saw one up the coast last week i offered the guy $200.00 for it which i thought was reasonable no deal but i left my number so if temptation arises i am a chance.

I am keen to see a photo. I was looking for a seated calf machine a while ago and just could not find one of the old designs.....

I am wondering if the Samson is the one I was thinking of?

Cool.

I picked up an old school Calf raise for $50 on eBay, no one wanted it, I was the only one bidding.

Not a Samson, but still seems to do the job, smashed my calfs today with it after doing squats

Thanks for the picture, but it is not quite what I was thinking of. The old one I used to use was great because the weight movement was not attached to the seat, so the only part that moved was the calf and upper leg, you were not raising your whole body and changing the angle you hit the muscle at during the repetitions.

Big Mick, would you have a photo of the older style one you were able to purchase?

Hey matey, I've been good, a wise man once told me "that's coming to the grave with me" so unfortunately it is a no, but I will keep an eye out for you, one was on gumtree last month for $150, so they are around

The one you got is similar to the Samson one, does the job, but I don't know how ypu use it after squats, I have to do use it before as my legs kill me under the padding

As bought for $50.



And in my home gym on the back verandah:

Yeah the padding does kill a bit, but it has to be done.

Have two leg work outs and they both kill. One is squats and calf raises, and another is leg extensions, leg curls and incline leg press.

Thanks Big Mick. Still not quite what I was looking for, but would probably feel the same as the old one i am thinking of.

I will keep an eye open for anything like this.

The long arm seems to increase the weight a lot, as you don't have to to put a lot of weight on the machine to really feel it.

The old gym I used to go to in the late 80's had the exact same one. This will be blasted and painted or powder coated one day when I build my man shed, but thats still a few years off, got to buy my farm and build my house first

Preacher Curl Bench

Hi Buddy a little birdy told me you are after a preacher curl bench i might know where one is available,What price do you want to pay ?

 

[Big Mick]

How long is a piece of string.

All depends on condition. Send me a photo or two and we can work something out.

Ps I am after anything of interest that I do not already have.

PecDec would be another thing, must be plate loaded though, not pin weights.
