I just picked up this old Icarian squat machine. I’ve been looking online, but can’t find any info on it. It’s a nice little gem, but I was wondering if anyone knows anything about it?
Don’t know anything about that particular machine, but Icarian always had a good reputation, back in the day.
Yes they do! I have quite a few of their pieces and love them. I wish I could figure out the history behind this one though.
Like, the guy who owned it before you? I dig training history and gym lore as much as anyone, but I don’t really get what you’re looking for.
Like Beyond said, Icarian had great name recognition for years, but it’s not like they were Nautilus with their own Arthur Jones doing PR work and being involved in strength sports or bodybuilding, from what I can remember.
The year it was made. Was it a concept piece. Basically the rarity of it. We have quite a few Icarian pieces and can always find other machines alike. But this one I’ve never seen and kind find any others like it.
