Ctgblue has the right idea if not the most appealing color. Hammertone spray paints will give you a nice coat, color, and texture plus you don't have to prime the plates before using. I painted a...

I own the older version of the York Barbell full cage and I am very happy with it. The only difference between the old version and the new version is the pull-up bar. The old model has a completely...

I broke my right wrist years ago playing soccer and did nearly the same thing as you. I didn't get it looked at for three months and during that time I move a ton of heavy boxes. I finally couldn't...

Don't say anything bad about biker shorts until you give them a try! I love the nice baggy shorts with chamois the prevents me from chaffing and provides extra cushion for sitting. The only...

I was a major chocolate and sugar fanatic before I decided to lose weight so I needed something that would satisfy my jones but not hurt my weight loss. I found a ton of great items in the Diet Food...

It's an Arm Blaster or Biceps Blaster. You can buy them at most any Academy, Dicks, or Sports Authority for around $25.00. Make sure you get one that has some sort of padding on it. I bought one...

The plates had the original paint on them but it was flaking off plus there was some rust on them. The plates were all 5, 7.5, and 10 pound olympic combinations to reach the desired weight. Whoever...

Never said I was a smartbiker, just a fat one. Next time I'll make sure and read things correctly. Thanks for going easy on me, my wife usually doesn't!

Thanks for the replies guys. Are you sure you meant 5 cents and not 50 cents? Five cents a pound seems awfuly cheap to me. I'd at least like to get $600 or so for the set considering it's 1550...

I recently received a set of 55 - 100 pound dumbbells that belonged to my uncle and I'm looking to sell them on craigslist but I don't know what to call them. I want to say they are pro-style...

It doesn't get very cold here in Texas but sometimes it gets below 80 degrees and I have to bundle up in three layers plus turn the heater up to 110 deg. to make it more comfortable. But seriously...
