    Olympic Weight Plates

    I went and purchased the $2.80 per kg rubber olympic weight plates from fitnessandsport.com.au. Couldn't find anywhere that was cheaper, even ppl selling second hand plates wanted more than that price. I agree with the buy once buy right thing however my gym is outside under a pergola so the dew...

    Olympic Weight Plates

    the $2.80 a kg isn't for bumper plates, its for the rubber olympic plates. While we're on the topic, what is the difference between bumper plates and rubber plates and why such a big price difference?

    Olympic Weight Plates

    Does anyone know where I can get olympic weight plates for a decent size? I'm in Sydney for pick up or can order online. I've found a store which sells it for $2.80 a kg. Thats the rubber one which is what I need. Is that a good price? Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

    Calfs vs Biceps

    when ppl mention high calves or low calves, what does it mean? I understand how it sits on the lower leg but in terms of training, is one more difficult than the other to develop?

    might need to find a new gym

    I believe it's all about mindset, you have to train the way you think. If I even look at maccas for instance, I'll automatically think if I eat this, all my hard work in the gym and the past few months have been wasted so I won't touch it. I have work barbeques every couple of months and I don't...

    might need to find a new gym

    If biggest loser is just for the ratings, why do contestants subject themselves to that crap? Surely they must know. I mean look at previous contestants who go in as whoppers, lose some weight, then they do a catch up with em a few months down the track and they are whoppers again. If they...

    the what u saw at the gym TODAY thread

    It's not what I saw today, it was what I smelt. This older guy using the machine next to me just reeked. I almost gagged. Didn't realise people could smell so bad.

    the what u saw at the gym TODAY thread

    what annoys me the most is that it seems the gyms are a place to hang out now. I used to go at 4.30 am which was great, did it for a year consistently and had to take time off for injuries so now I find it really hard to wake up at that time so I go around 5 pm and its just packed with people...

    lol, it wasn't last night, it was on Tuesday night. I'm in Sydney but like WarbyD said, happens at every gym at that time which is why I am trying to have my own setup so I don't have to deal with those people.

    the what u saw at the gym TODAY thread

    saw these school kids doing bicep curls with the fixed barbells. It was obviously too heavy as they were heaving it up with their lower back and shoulders. After that, he does the bodybuilding pose, the side bicep/chest shot, where the hands clutch each other but shows the one bicep side on with...

    the what u saw at the gym TODAY thread

    At the same gym I just signed up to, a fat guy giving someone a personal training session. I was gobsmacked. I couldn't believe he had a client let alone work as a PT for the gym.

    What annoys you most about the fitness industry?

    I remember those days, it wasn't that far back as I've been training on and off for about 15 years. Those were the good days and personal trainers knew their stuff.
