Re: Rogue (and any Oly Bar) Sleeve Care
Thanks Bill, glad to hear that oiling the sleeve might be all that's necessary. I don't know a thing about barbell anatomy, so hopefully there's no disassembly required.

Re: Rogue (and any Oly Bar) Sleeve Care
Been a long time since I've posted on the boards, but it seems like this would be a useful thread to others (myself included). I ran into the "no spin" problem with my Rogue Bar recently as...

Re: kindle ... anyone?
I have the Nook and think it's great. I tend to read some more obscure books, which haven't all made their way into the B&N Library yet, but oh well. It's still a much bigger selection than Amazon,...

Re: why am i not losing weight!
My mistake then; thanks for the correction. The overall point to the OP remains though, so consider your blocks and food quality, then consider your rest/recovery, and then consider all the other...

Re: why am i not losing weight!
I'm in a rush so maybe I missed where you mentioned it, but someone else said you were eating 14 blocks. That sounds like it could be part of the issue right there.
At 5'7, I'm rx'd 13-14 blocks. ...

Re: "Portable" Bumpers?
I get what you're saying, but one of the most important things is that it fit all the way in the bed, as I'm going to be getting a hard cover to prevent theft.

I don't have much experience with high quality bars, so forgive my lack of what is probably common knowledge.

Re: "Portable" Bumpers?
Thanks for the info, folks. I think I'll start budgeting for that bumper set now. Guess I never really thought of it in the sense that it's the same as driving around with 1 or 2 passengers.

Gonna have to disagree with you on that one, Jamie. In the past (in another barracks), whether I got 5 hours or 9 hours of sleep, I'd need that alarm to get me going at 4:00 in the morning. There's...

Get us a better idea of your body fat percentage, even if it means a somewhat skewed measurement using tape measure. Once you get a decent idea of that, it's much easier to tweak your blocks.
