    Spark's 2012 Body Transformation

    Standard Barbell stength, and where to buy???

    I'm not surprised! From the ABC website, the standard 7ft bar is only rated to 150kg! Do you have a link to this bar by any chance? Unfortunately I don't, else I'd sell up and buy oly plates & bar :( But luckily for me, my plates are 29mm, so they'll take a 28mm bar just fine :) Didn't...

    Standard Barbell stength, and where to buy???

    Hi guys I'm taking up Markos starting strength program. As such, I'll need a barbell which can support at a minimum 180kg (for the deadlifts). Unfortunately, I only have standard weight plates. I'm unsure what my current 6' standard bar can support 180kg. As such, I'd rather buy a bar which...

    Wrist pain after punching wall!

    Will do. It's frustrating, because I want to get stuck into the weights, and this damn wrist is holding me back...but on the other hand, the receptionist at the surgery was cute, so I might have to make a return trip in any case :)

    Wrist pain after punching wall!

    Yep 100% correct. I was a tool for losing my cool and punching the wall. Paying the price for it right now. Hopefully (for my sake anyway) I can make a full recovery. After a bit of research, I think you suffered a "bar room fracture" Boxer's fracture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia...

    Wrist pain after punching wall!

    Hi guys! Well first off, I'm an idiot (read below) and I'm now paying the price for my stupidity. I play pennant squash (ie once per week in a local competition). During one match back in October last year, I was playing absolutely terribly, and as such, lost the match. In a final fit of...
