I bought these a few months ago, and tried them once and returned them. They just felt awkward to me. I bought them because I wanted to make the handle of my dumbbell handles thicker, but they just...
Chucks are recommended widely here. I checked out a pair at the store the other day, and I was unimpressed by the soles. There were portions of it that were made of what felt like a cloth type...
I saw some used 45 lb plates by "TDS" at Play it again sports today. Is this the same TDS that is sold at www.newyorkbarbells.com or is there another one?
Yeah, Ive decided Im not going to worry about the finish. I used the bar for benching yesterday, and I like it. I really like the knurling on it, a little more aggressive than the last bar I had. ...
Thanks guys. Yeah, its the 7' York 1000 lb test bar. I weighed it, and it is exactly 41 lbs. Kind of a strange number if you ask me, not sure why it wouldnt weigh in at 44 or 45 lbs.
I just received a York bar in the mail that has black oxide coating on it. Do you find that when centering the bar on the rack, or just re-racking it wears away at the coating, or does it hold up...
I can only bench once a week, and I have been doing a pyramid routine for quite a while now, and need to change it up. I am interested in a 5x5 routine for bench, such as the bench portion of Bill...
where in WI are you guys? Im in Green Bay. I use olympic handles and plates, and they are ok, but I would prefer Ironmasters. I just dont know if I can justify the price for how often I would use...

Does anyone know where else I can find this bar? I have found it at the link supplied, but they list their shipping as taking anywhere from 2-6 weeks. I cant seem to find it anywhere else.

What is the difference between a womens bar and a mens bar? Is it just the diameter? Ive seen both listed on Rogue's website. I am also in the market for a bar, and noticed the York 7' North...
Yeah, that is the ad I am referring to in Greenville. I check craigslist often and sometimes there are some decent deals on there. Ive seen a few power racks, an occasional leg press, plates, etc. ...
I found a dumbbell set from 5-100 in 5 lb increments with a rack for $800. They are steel hex dumbbells with the ergonomic handles. Is this a good deal, or should I wait?
that looks like the body solid GLM-83. I own this unit and I like it. It has the nylon busying that rides up and down on the square post, and it has never binded on me. I lube it with a silicone...
