    Default Vintage York Power Rack

    I have an opportunity to buy a York power rack from the 60's for a buck fifty. It has a big wooden base. Were they built like tanks back then? Any reason not to buy it?

    Those things are pretty shallow and hard to use inside of. But you should buy it just to have the damn thing.

    I'm really glad antique cast iron pans are what tickle my fancy, and not vintage weightlifting stuff.

    Buy it. Then you can brag about it and just be an all around smug bastard. Everyone will hate you, but they will also be jealous.

    It's actually limestone. I'll bet you didn't think limes grew here, did you?
