The suggestion about collars was actually to use an EXTRA set of collars on the inside of the plate to effectively lengthen the bar, then secure the plate with the regular collars on the outside, so it goes collar-plate-collar. This would only work for the quick release collars (not the spring ones), and of course if your gym ...

She'll need to do 2 courses: Losing Your Scottish Accent, and Speaking to Aussies.

I've lost count of the permutations of plates, bars and collars that I've used over the years and in my travels. Good gear is critical to a good workout ....or if you want the converse argument, crappo gear = frustration and injury. On that note, does anyone here go to or work at Fitness First Bond St in Sydney? They've got a rack ...

Others have described back injuries well. My response is more about mechanics. You suddenly increased your weight in this track by 50% from 40 to 60 pounds. Ouch. Add your 6'7'' frame into the equation, and perhaps a fast track. This to me is an accident waiting to happen, and I would bet anything that it was a loss of ...

I don't know the details where you are, but your phrase ''my email inbox received an invite'' prompts me to ask whether this invitation came from a credible source. I would have thought if you were ''trainer material'', one of your superiors would have already chatted with you directly, and then perhaps followed up by email with all relevant ...

Rod, re your qualifications: you're obviously proud of them, and perhaps they've been hard earned. However, there are no doubt people on this forum who have SAVED lives, not just influenced them, and they don't brag. They just stick with the topic. If you're an educationalist, you have a long way to go with spelling, grammar, expression and ...

I would much rather see someone do a pushup from their knees with CONTROL than someone on their toes doing what I call a ''drop-push'' where they're only working the ''push'' part of the rep. I see this a lot when people are trying to show off by doing pushups on their toes. Then again, the same goes for any moves in BP - the ''drop-push'' is ...

Rod's message: ''All I want to do is leave this forum, you keep on dragging me back here ... I don't want to be here ..... I DO NOT WANT TO POST HERE ANYMORE! '' This is the funniest thing I've read on this forum!!! Rod, is there someone standing over you with a gun MAKING you post here? Ummm...if you don't want to be here, just log off and ...

I presume you mean like a 'trolley' that contains a complete kit for each person? So on entering the room, each person would grab a trolley, and wheel it to where they want to set up? If my interpretation is correct, I see 3 problems: 1. What would you do with the trolley once you'd unpacked it? Obviously it'd get in the way unless parked ...

Rod, you'd better Google the Caribbean to find out where the OP is from.
