    Wanted: 2X 20kg Weight Plates (Rubber Coated)

    My work gym has a total of 177.5kg in plates and I'm close to deadlifting the lot and want to progress further. I can either join a gym or pay for some more weight, work won't pay unfortunately so looking at adding 2 extra 20kg plates. Cheapest I have found is $70 per plate.

    back extension?

    45 Degree or Roman Chair back extension machine? I would like something I could do a bodyweight type exercise after squatting and deadlifting. Can't afford a GHR as they are $500.

    Deadlifting, round back

    By Some bloke. I’ve always had some unconventional views on the deadlift. They mainly stem from my unconventional technique in deadlifting. You see, I’m a roundback deadlifter in the mold of Vince Anello or Lamar Gant. Now I’m not equating myself in their tremendous company; just comparing so...

    Hi guys, From what i've read on this forum it seems like the Gym Direct 20kg Olympic weight plates are not the right diameter for a standard deadlift starting position. I was just wondering if anyone knows if the 20kg plates from Sams Fitness or Gym & Fitness were the correct diameter? If...

    Deadlifting Bloody Shins

    G'day all Yesterday, I realised that scraped and bloody shins are inevitable while deadlifting with correct technique... My question, can you avoid it? Is there a stance problem? Or do people wear long pants?....not real desirable in the Pilbara? Cheers

    Deadlifting Problems
