I'm trying to buy some battling ropes for the gym and am getting some stupid prices. basically I want 2 lengths of 25mm but for some reason the prices are mental. I refuse to pay €100 for one length!

Anyone know of any cheaper places?

Limerick strongman club makes all kinds. Think Gary still runs it. You could mail him on the facebook.

Sorry guys edited the first post. Thanks Kevin.

I need nylon not vanilla flavoured and my gym is 15m long so I need 15m lengths. They're going to be modified to work as climbing ropes and I've sort of invented a method of resisted grip work with them so I'd like them to be adaptable for that.

Have a few good tips here to be getting on with. Thank you very glad.

Nah they have to be clean. They'll be all over my mats which have to be free from stink and potentially infectious infecting infections.

Er, new boat ropes?

I'm basing this on the assumption that it's similiar in price difference to that of cow/horse mats vrs purpose bought lifting mats.

I thought the same but 30m isn't a big order for a marine company so you get charged public prices. They're working out the same. I might take a drive to Howth today to haggle along the pier with the simple fisherfolk.

Have you asked the lads in Woodies do they know of anywhere to grab some? If not have you tried Chadwicks or Goslins down in the village? They might be able to point you in the right direction.

I remember tying a couple of the DIY places and they were stupidly expensive for it/ or didnt have it...

Let us know how you get on Barry. After using these in RAW the last time i was up i want a set. And a tyre...and an empty warehouse :P

Dathai · 30-12-2011 5:40pm

They usually deal with a hundred and one suppliers though, so if you're not buying it from the shop you can get a contact of a supplier.

Two different DIY/hardware shops advised me the same when I asked, Barry. Apparently there's a particular place on the seafront that you should find easy enough if you ask around.

Barry.Oglesby · 30-12-2011 9:32pm

So the advice is to head down the docks and ask strangers where I can get a length?

Gotcha

"In a small south Texas town, there aren't many career options for young people besides oil rigs, the military, or fast-food restaurants. Luz Garcia, a fiery high-school athlete, is determined to forge a different future; she's gained admission to the University of Texas at Austin. The problem is she can't afford to go. With her one shot at a scholarship riding on the state power lifting championship, she sees no choice but to bend the rules to ensure her victory. Although Luz's rashness and frustration land her in increasingly hotter water, they also fuel her with courage and empowerment."

Holy crap Matt Kroc did 5 sets of 180kg for 20 reps in his leg session yesterday. That's just beyond belief.

pick'n'mix is not food...

unless it was at one time walking around breathing air and eating grass or feed while mooing or cluckking then it isnt a food.

You need to find a butcher that will sell you steak in bulk. I did it last year, I couldn't sustain buying an entire fillet every 2 weeks. As cheap as it was, it was still pricey.

He does a whole lamb for 6.99 a kilo as well, I love that man. Halal too, so I get into Muslim heaven now as well.

I think parts of things that once mooed went into parts of the fizzy cola bottles.... :pac:

Aaammmm... I need to ask two favours. I'm going on Take Me Out, it's filming sometime next week, and for my talent bit i've to clean + jerk 80kg...

so firstly, i need someone in dublin that has an oly bar and about 60kg of weights to borrow for an afternoon (preferably bumper plates so it looks heavier :pac:)....

aaaand I need L to teach me some decent clean technique over the weekend.

Molly · 09-01-2012 9:49pm

Did you choose the talent of your own accord?
