Lift it up yourself you lazy bastards

 

[Big Mick]

Mick just chuck small plate or a bit of timber - say 10mm thick - under the first plate you chuck on. Easy as.

Tim.

Damn, so simple, I feel like an idiot now that I been struggling all these years, and just finished dead lifting too....

Well there is always next time, and I will have my timber ready

 

[Sam]

Yeah I've always just rolled the plates up onto a 1.25kg plate. Easy as.

 

[kaz]

Once my 20kg plates are on the bar, all the rest are smaller

 

[Drifter]

I can vouch for Iron Edge's jack; $85, awesome little piece of kit.

 

[PerthMac]

another vote for the Iron edge jack. MUCH easier than putting a small plate under, speeds up deadlift day to allow more time lifting and less time loading

 

[NightFallTech]

I brought one of them as well, great item

my new home gym is largely together, I might try to squeeze a lat pulldown/low row in there, but its otherwise complete

fark jealous! awesome setup you've got there

Very nice [MENTION=10752]NightFallTech[/MENTION];
How do you find the lever squat?

 

[NightFallTech]

The lever squat is great, although ive added some friction tape to the footplate to give me more confidence I wont slip. Heavy calf raises do require a 1/4 squat or so to get the lever up into position

its a decent peice of equipment though, ill let you know in a few montha how it holds up

How does it feel compared to a regular barbell squat, pros, cons?

 

[NightFallTech]

Its not quite like a barbell squat, I can go pretty deep and feel it well in my quads glutes and hamstrings, but its not really the same movement pattern as I essentially lean back into the pads....

god for body buikding id think, probably not for powerlifting

LMAO, you doing it on purpose now, as you know better

As I am pretty sure you BOUGHT it..

 

[kaz]

Charging for entry?

 

[NightFallTech]

I should, it cost a bit in the end and I'm still planning on a lat pulldown/low row (probably the body solid(, seated calf (prob force usa) and i'd love to fit a Smith machine in, but i really can't find anywhere to put it

(a lying leg curl would be nice too)

 

[richottr]

Have a force usa seated calf raise. Im 6"2' and only just fit under it. Otherwise its a good piece of equipment and can be had for a reasonable price.

 

[NightFallTech]

That's my concern too actually, tried one out and have difficulty getting my legs under...
