Hi guys.
Thought I'd post up my pics 1 year after I started this comp.
To be honest, I'm really disappointed in how I went. While I've been training consistently throughout the year, and strength gains have been made (hit all of the above lifts in my first post), visually (on the camera...
Nah mate, I'm based in Melbourne...but if you could find the seller that would be great! Also, how is the knurling on the barbell? Is it fine or rough?
I'm not surprised! From the ABC website, the standard 7ft bar is only rated to 150kg!
Do you have a link to this bar by any chance?
Unfortunately I don't, else I'd sell up and buy oly plates & bar :(
But luckily for me, my plates are 29mm, so they'll take a 28mm bar just fine :)
Didn't...
Yeah, I've emailed ABC, but as of yet I haven't received a reply.
I've just found this product (Standard super strength) on the ABC website. This could be the bar for me! Are there any other products out there...
Hi guys
I'm taking up Markos starting strength program.
As such, I'll need a barbell which can support at a minimum 180kg (for the deadlifts).
Unfortunately, I only have standard weight plates.
I'm unsure what my current 6' standard bar can support 180kg.
As such, I'd rather buy a bar which...

It's frustrating, because I want to get stuck into the weights, and this damn wrist is holding me back...but on the other hand, the receptionist at the surgery was cute, so I might have to make a return trip in any case :)
UPDATE: I've just come back from the doctors. The x-rays show no bone damage.
The report which came from the x-rays is as follows:
X-RAY RIGHT HAND AND WRIST
"No acute bone or joint abnormalities. No erosions or destruction lesions. Alignment anatomic with joint enlocated.
Normal soft tissue...
Yep 100% correct. I was a tool for losing my cool and punching the wall. Paying the price for it right now. Hopefully (for my sake anyway) I can make a full recovery.
After a bit of research, I think you suffered a "bar room fracture"
Boxer's fracture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia...
Hi guys!
Well first off, I'm an idiot (read below) and I'm now paying the price for my stupidity.
I play pennant squash (ie once per week in a local competition). During one match back in October last year, I was playing absolutely terribly, and as such, lost the match. In a final fit of...
