Hey Milk.

What equipment have you got at home?

I've been in contact with a gym owner in my local area and I'm chatting to him about buying plates and bars that he has hanging around. I'm hoping to pick up at least 140kg worth of plates and a bar at a reasonable price.
He just tried selling me a platform for
 
Hi Flash. I have a Strength Shop Olympic bar and the deluxe utility bench which I mentioned to you, both were in their clearance sale section so were bargains. I got a squat stand / rack which is pretty much identical to yours which I got from a company called Mirafit for

I see that you just cancelled your work gym membership. Does that mean your work had a gym in it? Or just that you got a discount at a local gym through work? Just wondering. Having a decent gym on site at work would be sweet.

Either way, home gym FTW.

Hi DrB. I had 2 gym memberships up until recently: one next door to my work which work pay 50% towards, which is sweet, and the other which was a 24hr gym closer to my home. I have cancelled the 24hr gym close to home, as I have sufficient equipment at home to get by.

My membership for the gym next to work expires next year, so I'll be cancelling that then, so that will be 2 monthly outgoings gone, which I'll be pretty chuffed with.

Nice job, Miluck.

Did going beltless make much of a difference to how the exercise felt?
I don't feel as tight when I go beltless.

It felt OK, not a huge difference, although I wasn't really pulling anything heavy, if I'd gone any heavier I probably would have belted up.

My girlfriend was lifting, so I got loads of lighter sets inbetween hers using the weight she was using. Still getting used to front squats, the 90kg sets were easy enough, so will increase the weight next time.
