Well, I am in the market for a new Olympic set for my home gym. My current set by Weider is a POS. The plates don't fit the bar quite right. Worse, they are friggin metric. I am looking at a new set from Ivanko (the ones with handles). I know they are expensive, but Ivanko makes good stuff...

Daniel Bishop: all competitors have to pass a polygraph test beforehand, which proves that they have NEVER taken any steroids in their life. The fact that someone has "passed" a polygraph "test" is proof of nothing. Polygraph “tests” have never been shown to determine truth from deception with...
