I find myself in the interesting position of not needing any more gym equipment, but still having a short wish list and some discount codes.

Continuing to think out loud, I do not really want a 2x5 Saxon Bar and will probably skip the Nemesis Grip order unless something exciting is launched in August (it is not worth just ordering the loading pin even with the discount).

I do want a Heavy Lift Bar and Hand/Thigh Bar but will continue to use Kim's on loan.  I will probably skip an Arm Assassin order as well as I was leaning against the 2x5 Saxon and do not like their loading pin design.

Finally FBBC, that is probably the $180 best spent for the final form v-bar handles and loading pin.  Shipping is reasonable and I love their products.  Much smaller than a giant barbell that I really do not need.

Bottom line in this thought exercise is that maybe it is best to not chase a discount.
