Yeah I have a couple of those I use on the pulldown machine. They are pretty much always on there for a base weight for pulldowns and triceps movements. They never really come off.

I still wish I would have opted for the selectorized stack machine.

And you are afraid of a spider?

I don't know why but lifting makes me more emotional and less fearless.

It was prolly the clomid I used to do.

I bought an Olympic set TODAY. My back and neck cause a lot of pain unless I keep my strenght up. Old auto accident.

The only standard bars I have is an EZ curl bar and some shorter straight bars I bought for curls on preachers or something. I would hate to use an olympic bar for preacher curls, so I bought a shorter standard bar for that. I do use those plates for curls and lying tricep extensions with the Curl bar and the machines I talked about..leg and pulldown...

Everything else is olympic. I have 4 sets of 330 pound Olympic weights and several hundred pounds of other Olympic plates. Only real complaint is the bars bend from being cheapo.

i love the standard weights

.

I'm not afraid of spiders, actually i have managed to catch a rattlesnake and handle him bare handed, this spider was an exotic pet about the size of my hand and it completely caught me unaware.
