Oh hey,
I'm planning to start training seriously in the coming weeks after I buy some new equipment. Currently, I have a low-quality Kmart standard barbell with 'screw-on' ends (is that what it's called?) that doesn't quite fit in my new power rack.

Hi all,
Ive noticed that when I grip BB and DB for the various presses and lifts i do i only seem to be using part of my hand for the majority of the lift. So from my pinky finger to my rude finger i get calluses but get none on my pointer finger or thumb. So when I push or pull it seems those...
Hey guys,
Im looking for advice and suggestions on which equipment i should get for a home gym. This is what im looking at getting so far:
Power Rack: MMPR Power Rack
Bench: Flat - not sure on this, is there any difference in them other than their price? I just need one to do my bench press...
Hi all,
I hope this is not too silly a question.
Is the weight of the barbell itself included in the total weight one says that they lift.

Cheers
Simon
Just joined a new gym, it has a few olympic 7ft 20kg bars, but it has a lot of 6ft ones as well, they have noticeably shorter collars, I was just wondering what they weigh? Is it 15kg? I can't tell.
Thanks guys.

Iron Edge 20kg Olympic Barbell from AusKB $165 + $54 = $219
Pendlay 20kg Bushing Class HD NexGen Olympic Barbell $575 + $54 = $629

Hey all, I really need some input from others here, possibly to help and pinpoint where some of weakness are.
For the moment, I have been doing DUmbbell Bench Press instead of the barbell, as one side is weaker than the other. And I like to build up the weaker side to a more similar level of...
