Thats good news. I read dat u bought some supplements, hopefully they will speed up your recovery & increase ur form further.

U wanna try rippetoes too ? Yay.. welcome to the club smile.gif Yah, some of the exercises need so much weight till my eyes pop out but hafta cos they use more muscles, so more weights.

Mayb u can buy the weights bit by bit. Now i shift my weights from 1 place to another when i do different exercises.. real troublesome but gives me some rest in between.

Tesco is selling the 10kg plates for RM59 per plate. I calculate if I add another 40kg to my barbell would cost Rm200+. Add in the plates I already have 20kg, that would be 60kg. Would be sufficient enough for a beginner like me i think.

Do you have smaller plates like 1.5 & 2.5 kg ? It may come in useful for some exercises.

I can increase to 40kg but I am not confident enough to hoist the weight up my shoulders. My grip not so good and arms still skinny, hard to snatch and hoist the weight.  Afraid i might drop and destroy my room tiles or get injured  sweat.gif
Need a weight rack.

I'm having the same problem too. Mayb for time being u can place it between the bench posts, but have to extend it higher. It feels funny to walk & insert the body between & dunno how long can use this way but wha to to.
