Should I do this?

[Jim Ouini]

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

lol, I want to front squat and then just dump the bar instead of racking it, like 'I'm done with you', just like in those IM vids

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.

I'm already feeling that I should get a bench and power-rack. What, after all, is the point of spending forty minutes driving to travel to a gym when I can do my workouts at home? The only extra equipment I use at the gym is the pull-down pulley and the reverse-hyper thingy. I can start to do chins and do rev.hypers by putting some 2x4s across a power-rack. I guess I'd have to get some Oly DBs too.

I walked out the full 225Kg yesterday. That felt heavy. I didn't even begin to consider trying to squat it but then I'm approaching almost a month of messed-up training now.

The squat stand is sturdy. The only problem is that it isn't securely attached to the ground and so can travel which is why it's up against the wall. Aside from that, I have no complaints with it.

I'm still envious of your Eleikos and have to agree with Proto, we've discoverd a new Internet disease of plate-lust.

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 weighed those spring collars at the digital scale at my gym and they were .4lbs each.

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.

Ok there Rockey, and next you're going to tell us that that meat hanging in the freezer isn't for punching...
