Do you have any plans to purchase a few mirrors?

Uhhh, no, lol. Unless you mean to hide my huge collection of gardening tools

Those weights look so sweet. Really professional

Yeah I love them. Sometimes I just pick them up and look at them lol.

Hahaha! I personally enjoy using a mirror to take a look at my form and occasionally flex. Its by no means mandatory but something I would purchase if I was to make a home gym.

That set just looks awesome. One day I will indulge.

Sweet! Is it me or does that bar look like it's bending?

It seems that my weights were despatched today. I'm going to try to forget about your Eleiko bumper plates.

Are they getting much use or have they become a shrine?

My weights arrived today. They glide so smoothly onto the bar that I absolutely must pust collars on. I walked 60Kg out and felt one side going. As I tried to balance it, the other side went. I realised that there was nothing I could do as first one plate slipped off and then the other one went. Ho hum, no damage.

I have 205Kg plus the bar for 225Kg (495 lbs). I guess also spring collars for another 0.5Kg since I must always remember to use them.

I tried doing some cleans but my ankle wasn't happy about it. It wasn't too happy with squats either but I had to do something.

In case anyone's wondering, that's one of the stables and the cages were put there as emergency housing for the chickens while we expanded their permanent residence. I need to put some rubber down.

Snap! Those are exactly the same plates that I got when I got my rack and weights from some guy on ebay (prior to also buying some rubber coated plates). I can't say mine were that smooth on the bar though.

You won't be able to resist going out there every day itching to do something with them.

How retarded are we that we like looking at another guy's shiny new Eleiko plates? LoL Those make me jealous. I'd love to do some high pulls and just let 'em bounce. LoL

More shrine-like

I'll probably start using it more soon. I bought a couple more 25kg bumpers, just to get me up to DL weight if I ever start it again. Plus it was a good deal IMO, $150 for 2

I like your squat rack. I think I overpaid for mine, but what do you expect from IM. I noticed with mine when I bench I can't fling the bar back because it'll tip the rack backwards.
