    Supersetted squats with putting my bench press together. The frame seems fairly sturdy but the actual bench seems to be made from rivita

    Think I will do abit of DIY on the bench, replace the timber in the seat section with some good quality ply and cut of a section of the lip that you have to clear when unracking the bar.

    Benching has also pointed out that my bar is bent as it kept trying to roll in my hands.

    Ply is so underrated.

    Is the lip just too much for a fixed rack height that clearing it pulls your scaps 'loose'?


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,561 ✭✭✭JJayoo


    The perfect height for me to unrack the bar is just in-between two possible settings, so if I can lower this lip, which isn't really needed, it should be purrrrrrfect.

    I also have some good plywood and my uncle has a bandsaw so shouldn't be an issue to replace the seat.

    I'm back on that dirty bulk life, this morning I was 90kg, but if I cut the carbs down for two days I would be 88kg.

    Getting dumbbells
    17.5
    20
    25
    27.5
    30
    40

    And a new barbell

    Current barbell is bent and makes benching kinda dodgy as it wants to roll in my hands. It also.explains alot about my squats, sometimes the setup is super tight, next set I just can't find the same groove.

    But still first bar first love :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,552 ✭✭✭✭Alf Veedersane


    Yeah you mentioned how the bent bar was a pain in the hole and I was screaming* "BUT IT'S EVEN WORSE FOR SQUATTING AND DEADLIFTING WITH"



    * I may not have screamed.

    Am a member of the college gym, but will def make visits to GCG, nice people and positive atmosphere make it a good training area,

    Was in tkmaxx today, they sell chuck taylors, and there was a pair of proper addidas lifting shoes.


    Goals:
    I want my squat back,
    I want to improve my flexibility
    I want to get fit again
    I want to learn French
    I want to seriously increase my chinup strengh
    I want to go somewhere warm

    I went to the gym found i was too unfit haven't gone back HELP!!!
