I doubt a finger would heal in a week. Use regular style straps to take load off it and do a bunch of active recovery work with little rubber bands and stretching it. I'm assuming you pulled a muscle...

He can buy longer handles. 18" should be widely available.



I wonder how practical that really is. You're still moving around, breathing, grunting. Have to careful not to step too hard.

You can bench on floor or get some books, wooden planks, cardboard whatever to raise yourself 3-5 inches from the floor to give you full range of motion.

The noise reduction just doesn't seem worth it in a home gym. Cheap rubber products may smell a lot at first then settle to unacceptable levels for a room gym. It's hit and miss.

This guy had some...

This simply false. That kid could have simply dropped the bar, possibly damaging the floor. He called his mom only to save damage to her floor.

It's not the kind of squat fail that is dangerous....

uz gun DIEEE!!

That Canadian site doesn't let Americuns view it at all. These are called squat stands http://www.roguefitness.com/s2-squat-stand.php you can buy safeties that make them a half rack.

These are...

Can also get a cheap 5ft oly bar. Might get handy for curls.. Well maybe not, they're 30 lbs.

Maybe use them while you feel this injury, on that one arm. You're probably making form or routine mistakes to get injuries, which should be fixed first.

That's good news. Weights can be hard to sleep with.

It's very unlikely you'll have to add up more than one woman per set.

Over-reacting. They're just starting out so wanted your order but didn't send you a crap product.

A real gym will have Yokes, prowlers, bumper plates and squatting women. You may not be able to use such equipment in some homes.

http://pro-edgefitness.com/h_olymp_bars.html has oly dumbbells listed. They may be discontinued and site hasn't updated to reflect it. You'd have to call Hampton on phone and ask if they still sell...

If you're unsure that you'll stick with it, don't want to take up a lot of space with equipment or whatever, maybe just get a weight set for starters. You can do a lot with just a weight set....

You can't do that. Bumper plates are designed to take their own weight and some more from the bar. Adding too much weight would break them really quickly. People don't even recommend adding 10 lbs...

If you care about handle feel that much, yea you may have to shop around. Normal cheap chrome spinlocks probably won't satisfy you.

There are http://www.ivankobarbell.com/products/sdhu/ should...

Start at half your body weight and reduce weight until it feels challenging.

Not sure those machines really help. If you can't do a bodyweight pullup/dip you should supplement with rows and curls...

If you're considering the Rogue bar for some reason get their Ohio black oxide. Have you used a Rogue bar and liked it? If not might not like their knurl. OB86 knurl looks better and people that have...

There are lock jaw collars for 1" bars. I think $20 per pair. I think they're good enough, tested mine with 50 lbs in vertical position. Spinlocks are good too but get annoying to load and unload...
