Can anybody who has this let me know if this treadmill is any good. It is the highest spec sub £500 treadmill i can see in the UK. Thanks.

I bit the bullet and bought the XLarge one - though I re-measured and found my belly measurement varies between 39 and 41.5 inches as I breathe in and out, so I hope it closes down appropriately or...

Thanks, I didn't know this!

Which should I go for the Large or XLarge?

(If I get the large which goes up to 41 inches will this be ok for my 41.5 inch size (or could I put an extra hole in it...

Thanks guys.

So at 41.5in around the navel (exhailed) the XLarge, which goes up to 45 inches is probably suitable (?).

I would much prefer to get the Large which goes up to 41in as I'd intend...

I do get it now -so it shouldn't really matter whether I get bumpers or rubber coated in this sense.

Am just undecided between the bumper plates and the rubber coated ones for my next pair as I...

Do you mean that if I keep an equal weight on both sides of the bar, the thickness of the plates themselves will make no difference?

So what should I go for, 2x25kg bumpers or 2x25kg rubber coated...

Is it easier to lift weights on a barbell if they are more spread out (i.e. several plates or using bumper plates) or distributed closer together (ie. thinner, olympic plates, using the heaviest...

Thanks - i'll tighten the allen head caps (it is a fairly cheap bar) all the way so that the collars wont slide.

I will eventually invest in a better bar...

Plates arrived today.

They look awesome and feel great (make me want to buy a complete set of bumpers!).

However, I'm just too afraid to drop them though! I've done it from a low height and...

They're 'supposedly' decent quality: 10kg, 5cm thick, full size,virgin rubber solid bumpers with a stainless steel heavy duty insert/bush and no castings inside the disc itself.

I suppose I'll...

I'm going to get a pair of 10kg bumpers for my 7ft 20kg bar just to see how I find some basic Olympic lifts. Would this be ok to drop on the floor, or should there be more than just 2 10kg (each 5cm...

Thanks - I'll just get a pair of 10s for now then.

I see. I'll probably get the non-Virgin rubber ones as the seller seems more reputable.

thanks

Seriously, why do some stress on this?

Is this a better quality rubber than other bumper plates (how/why?)? Does it make a significant difference?

I'm looking at:...

I've got 130 kg of rubber coated plates and am currently doing the ss program. I want to try a few basic olympic lifts and was wondering if I could get away with buying 2 15kg bumper plates and using...

Just to update:
I did have a problem with my shin -it continued to hurt when I performed squats or kneeled on them until today's training session (so it was like that for 17 days).

I used straps...

Thanks - bought http://www.fitness-superstore.co.uk/...ee/3218_p.html for gbp 50 (about $77 -there's not much cheaper in the UK). It's a body-solid one (though it says Bodypower at the top).

Stupid question alert: will using a standard tree damage my olympic plates in any way? By which i mean the central metallic insert of the plates.
