    What to buy?

    Yeah fair enough, I would too if I bent one. I think PTC use the MM bars and I haven't heard of any of them getting bent? In fact I haven't read of anyone on this forum with a bent MM bar? Anyone out there?

    What to buy?

    Fair enough. Thanks for the opinions guys. My bar seems fine. Doubt I'll ever be able to lift enough to damage it, its pretty damn heavy duty. Time will tell though. Don't know if I would spend the 2.5 times the cost on the ABC bar though. Guess I will know in 10 years time if my bar needs...

    Sharp pain where traps meet shoulder

    Go to the physio! Hopefully it is not the AC joint.

    What to buy?

    I know someone is going to bitch slap the newb for asking a dumb question but what does the $500 ABC bar do (or doesn't do) that the $200 MM (1500lbs) one do ? Or maybe its better to ask, what do you get for the extra coin?

    Sharp pain where traps meet shoulder

    Can you post a picture and circle the spot you say is sore? I have had and continue to have both rotator cuff and AC joint issues so I hope for you sake it is nothing to do with either of those.

    Whats are the best budget bumpers?

    Fair enough, thanks for the advice. I'll forget the bumpers idea.

    Whats are the best budget bumpers?

    This maybe a dumb question, well assumption, but I had assumed that bumpers would be good for deadlifting as all the plates are of uniform height. People talk of using a 2" deficit (standing on a board) to increase ROM. But wouldn't that only be relevant if we are all using the same size...

    Whats are the best budget bumpers?

    Disclaimer : I did a search.... I did! Hi All, I know best is relative so Ill try to give the question some context. For a home gym what would be the best budget bumpers to buy. Likely only really to be used for dead lifting. I have seen some lovely bumpers out there but can't bring myself...

    Spewing this one was not available a month ago -> Commercial Flat Bench with wheels I'd get that one. I have the previous model.

    Gym Direct Showroom in Vic

    Thats fantastic news for Victorians. I took a leap of faith with my gear and bought sight unseen. Being able to have a look at the gear before buying takes a load off your mind. Great gear :)

    PTC version 2.0

    I'm fine with tools, it actually was a faulty upright (the base plate is not flush which causes it to lean forward). The washes push the upright back into a flush position. That said, it is a great rack. I was not sure if you wanted me to mention the extra mat's you threw in with my second...

    PTC version 2.0

    I put mine together and took it apart at least 10 times (that is no exaggeration). Unfortunately my uprights were faulty. As soon as you tightened them they assumed their natural position. Sucks to be me I know. Anyways, I accepted the hulks suggestion to use washers to prop up my uprights...

    PTC version 2.0

    Its a sweet rack isn't it :) Pitty mine was not perfect out of the box. O well, still love mine. Being able to over heard press in the rack is priceless. And being able to move the safety bars so easily is also priceless. It allows me to bench as much as I want without fear (although I am...

    The footy boys will do very well. I think given some time we will see some excellent lifts from these boys. Great work Markos.
