QUOTE(Joey-kun @ Oct 29 2006, 07:50 PM) I'll take the shorter one. Mine's a hardcore gym so the bars look...ghetto You use the shorter bar for which excercise?  Currently I use the olympic bar for all my excercise. I'm on rippetoe too. Failed my millitary press last workout. So sad and really pissed off! Gotta reset 5-10kg perhaps, and work it from there. Was doing total of 42.5kg. Hmmm, maybe i should start a journal too.  This post has been edited by iv'N: Oct 29 2006, 08:46 PM |

QUOTE(pizzaboy @ Oct 29 2006, 08:51 PM) yes you should yeah i use the olympic bar coz it already set on the power/squat rack. So i dont need to 'power clean' the weights up before i start shoulder pressing. Therefore there bar is already at the chest level. those bloomin olympic bars are really hard to stabilize. it takes some getting used to and really feels weird. Don't think the shorter bar can fit into the rack. This post has been edited by iv'N: Oct 30 2006, 02:28 AM |

QUOTE(carlsuen @ Oct 30 2006, 11:33 AM) iv'N.. go to any fitness stores and get yourself 2 pairs of 0.5kg plates.. bring them to your gym and attach them to your bar by tying it up with a piece of cloth.. cuz they're normally too small to fit into the oly bar.. that way u can progress much longer.. cuz 2.5kg's per week is a hell lot on bench and MPs man.. Appreciate the tip. Cheers.  |

QUOTE(Joey-kun @ Nov 6 2006, 03:39 PM) oh I think I misunderstood tho. its all so confusing not too late to fix it. but frankly speaking.. 5x1 10kg .. doesnt really warm up much imo. Maybe its best to follow carl's warm up progression too.  |

why dont u just include the bar weight into it.. can't be difficult to +20 (bar weight) to your references.
Makes it easier for all your readers to understand. |
