Building a lifting platform to include rack.
Gday mate. Cant really help with the platform design as I haven't built one myself, but might be able to help with materials. Firstly, Bunnings sell "Gym Mats" that are made from recycled rubber that are much the same as the ones in your link. They are 1m x 1m x 10mm and have slightly beveled...- Mr0ops

Mate thanks heaps for taking the time to do that! That's exactly what I needed - Legend I'm not sure why, but even though I'd heard good things about the Hellion plates, i somehow never checked the site for pricing :confused: I cant believe how cheap they are. If I had to guess, id say they...- Mr0ops

Is there an alternative to Iron Edge in Melbourne?
Had a look on the LBF page but could only find the Penday plates in 10kg for $200 the pair, or $10 a kg + postage. I suspect LBF need to go through Muscle Driver as they are the australian importers for Pendlay. I got mine direct through muscledriver, 140kg for $1000, which is $7.14 per kg to...- Mr0ops

Don't get me wrong, they were friendly and tried to help. They just weren't big on the details. :-/ This is 50% of the equation for me. I love things that last but the functionality has to be there too. Nice! I've heard those Hellions are sweeeet! Lucky man. I'm pretty happy with the...- Mr0ops

I just bought 140kg of the black Pendlay Elites from MDAUS. They are clearing out their Pendlay bumpers so I got a ripper deal - $1000 delivered to my door!!! The Pendlay Elites are within 10g of marked weight and waaaay thinner than any economy bumper. If you're into quality gear, this is...- Mr0ops

Quick update I called ABC and asked if this could be done but they were a bit... well... vague really. They told me that they couldn't do the BOP220 with needle bearings and that if I wanted something like that, I should choose a different bar all together. So with this in mind, I asked...- Mr0ops

rino60; - thanks for the input mate! I hadn't thought of getting the ABC bar with needle barings. Genius! I'm 99% sure ill be getting my rack from Sam's so if you recon their bar is ok I might suss it out. Have you had any first hand experience with it? BTW, that pic of your bar is sweeeet...- Mr0ops

I'm with you on the power bar being the weapon of choice for the majority of lifts too. I guess I've just bought myself a problem by forking out cash I didn't really have for classy bumpers and now I feel like I need to get the use out of them to justify it. First world problems hey... Maybe...- Mr0ops

@ Repacked - cheers mate. Good to hear some more positive feedback about the ABC bar. As I mentioned in the op, I was all set to get one, even had a quote done. Then along came the deal of the century and I ended up with bumpers. @ White Lie - Definitly won't be dumping onto the safties unless...- Mr0ops

@ Karak & WoodyAllen Since you guys have first hand experience with the ABC bar, do you know if it will hold up to being dropped? I'm not planning on dropping every set while high fiving "the bros", but I figure the whole point of bumpers is to be able to bail out if shit gets real and it'd be...- Mr0ops

Cheers guys, wise words. @ Darkoz - yea cash is getting tight and I'm definitely not a competitive lifter but I do hate having to buy things twice (hence the pendlay elites.) Also figured I'll need all the help I can get when it comes to oly lifting. Karak - that's a pretty sound plan mate...- Mr0ops

G'day guys n gals 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...- Mr0ops
