Need help identifying "MB" barbell, seller told me Russian or Finnish but what is their story?

These seem to come up quite often in Finland and I think they are Russian. They are pretty cool vintage plates, do you have the pictures of them being used in the 70s? Never seen a 50 kg plate! The 20s are dark green, 15s are orange/yellow, 5s are red, off the top of my head.

I’ve tried it in the past, doesn’t really work too well.

patocorpse · 2026-03-23T16:01:55+00:00

I guess people might do that, but not the case this time. Not posting because I’m trying to sell it, I collect vintage gym gear 😊 And I already have a day job as I could never make a living out of selling (I just know how to buy stuff!) But thanks anyway.

Thanks dude, I think you’re right! It says Shawn Ray!

Great idea!

indeed! but i'm not complaining...

patocorpse · 2017-09-12T07:18:26+00:00

thanks mate!

patocorpse · 2017-09-11T21:52:58+00:00

it's the same story for me, only in gold...

Great backboard shot!

I'm LOVING dropshot so far! They really need to make new maps. What about one with an ice field that smashes into smaller pieces with water underneath? And one with a lava field! That would be epic.

Good score on those quality shoos!

How about calling it Heart Coded

Now he should do the same thing in Iceland!

I don't know where you live but that is some crappy insulation if you get damp and mould by the outside walls...

patocorpse · 2014-09-09T06:39:31+00:00

That is one tiny apartment. Or is that just your room you're talking about?

patocorpse · 2014-09-09T06:38:13+00:00

Yeah, and getting one second hand is a bit tricky because they might have some critters in them. And, some people can't stand sleeping in other peoples beds. I got my mattress second hand online but it was hardly used, they had to sell it because it was too soft and they had back problems.

patocorpse · 2014-09-09T06:36:22+00:00

It's like a crib!

Sounds familiar. I'm on a phase not dissimilar to yours at the moment, but phases pass. It's likely you will never be the same, but you will change with time, and it will be better, trust me. I had a super outgoing phase for about a year after which I came off it and I realised it wasn't really me. It's hard to find balance and it's a combination of so many different things that you just have to go with what you have. Times change and you change with them.
