Picking up this baby on the weekend

[Night Fox]

I see I'm not the only one who thought bolt was gonna babysit

Was expecting a literal baby



went better than expected

[Böltster]

so i finally got around to picking it up, the shipment was late so i wasn't able to prior

took about an hour to put it all together, excuse the messy garage. the black things on the end of the bar are lock jaw collars, which are waaaayy loving easier to use than the stuffty steel collars +they dont slip as much. (the picture doesn't do the bar justice, it's 7ft long and over 20kg)


on left are the olympic weights, still need to go pick up 4x20kg plates because they weren't in stock. not sure what i want to do with my old standard diameter weights (on right) yet. i need to buy an olympic ez barbel or make an adapter for that one and then mill out the centre holes


works really well. i'd definitely recommend buying/getting/building one if you can.

i start stronglifts 5x5 on monday. pretty excited

this is cheaper in the long run

plus i dont have to put up with dumbass noobs who use power racks as curl stations/ stupid stuff like that

[RagnaTheBroedge]

augh want
i mean not to that degree, i can't achieve that level of manliness just yet, but i'd like to have something beyond the adorable little 8 pounders that my mom's got
i have to do my working out at school and that's it because i don't know where the hell a guy buys weights around here
