It’s a lot of freaking weight. The stress test on this cheap Olympic bar reveals that the straight metal bar can lift an immeasurable amount of weight before it buckles and permanently bends itself out of shape. When it’s just lifting normal plates and the like, Beyond the Press counted nearly...

Everyone here knows by now that I do not like giving advice on how or how not to squat. Unless that line of power/the center of gravity where the bar is in straight line with the mid of your foot is violated, I'd keep my mouth shut.
So what's with this squat as a unit thing? We're always...

I am after bumper plates with a reasonable weight tolerance (and not so fat you can only fit four of them on the bar) I know that there are places like gym direct which have sets for $500-$700, but you have to order online. The only thing closely similar on Iron Edge is almost $2k.
Are there...

So, I need to order a bar and I want a good one. I've read the sticky thread and thought I'd settled on the ABC power bar (BOP220). That was until I picked up a sweet set of Pendlay Elite bumper plates and now I'm not sure the ABC will be much good for oly lifts. I mainly...

G'day everyone, stumbled upon the forum whilst looking at information about getting back into the weights. A little bit of background on me.

I'm not sure where to put this sorry but when I use a bar to do squats my left arm starts to get tingly and sore probably about 2 sets in. I was wondering is that normal and why it happens?

Have any of you lot had experience with "Dupuytren's contracture"?

I haven't been doing any lifting since before that time (due to an unrelated medical issue), but it gets annoying pushing a lawnmower, so I would imagine it wouldn't be too good...
