Re: Help minimizing hand tears
While I think Bill's approach is great (I've implemented it and it works), if you end up doing more Oly-ing, as I do, then you will want to chalk up.
Coach Rut gave me the perfect and, most...

Re: Fractional Plates worth the money?

Re: Rogue R-3 West Side Rack v.s. R-4 Power Rack?
Well, I guess I am leaning toward the racks. I'm trying to go heavy on my lifts and need to graduate to something a bit safer for the epic fails. Plus I'd love to be able to use chains and band. This...

Re: Rogue R-3 West Side Rack v.s. R-4 Power Rack?
Right on.
John, do you own the R4? HOw does depth factor in?
I'm a big guy I guess 6'3" 230ish but I can't imagine the R3 getting cramped.
But there may be something I'm missing. I would hate to...

Re: Rogue R-3 West Side Rack v.s. R-4 Power Rack?
Donald, I'm considering the same except I'm including the S-2/S-3 in the running.
I do sort of a strength bias so I am interested in lifting variations, especially rack pulls and inertia presses....

Re: Weight Belts
Thanks all and Sean.
I keep reading and it all seems a bit complicated. I think I may start off with the Valeo classic and get a feel for what I may need.

Re: help me choose barbells!
Please delete.
After I saw that someone responded and that my response was superfluous, I said so here. But then I just cut it and placed it as a preface to my original response.

Rogue Bar.
They stand behind the product. I'm sure AFT also does but Rogue has been churning it out for a while now.
This is the sweet spot of price for performance. If you wanted more Oly specific...

Re: Possible Standing Press Injury
Thanks Steven.
I have a foam roller but have been too busy to get on the floor with it.
Today I'll hit it. If not then I'll follow the advice and see if a massage therapist can get the kink out.

The tendency is to lean back and I gave in to this temptation. I didn't indulge a full lean back but I...

Once you are in this price range I'd go with Rogue. They sell adjustable Legend benches.
At the lower price tier I like the GarageGym one so far, but I'd like to know what others have experience...
