The Official PL Family Appreciation Thread: Part XI

[thom2355]

So does anybody have any insider info on why wrist wraps have jumped in price so much? Did some crossfit person recommend that everybody get wraps and this is like a douchebag tax or something?

Metal, APT, and even the new Titan ones due to be re-released are way overly priced right now.

....I mean....we keep paying for them. Why wouldn't they increase the price? If they didn't, then bad business.

Could also be to cover tax changes in the new year, but that is just theory based on my pay check modifications.

Anyone have any experience with the Burgener & Ripptoe (B&R) Bar? I like it's 29mm, very stiff (highest psi rating I've seen in this price range), not to aggressive knurling, and just under $300. I plan to use it just for deadlifts and training my hook grip. Other 29mm's I've seen ~$300 are the York 1500# power bar, and econ westside bar. All happen to be available from rouge too.

yeah...they were supposed to deliver my shake weight today...but it's not here...we live in a condo complex so i'm gonna be pissed if they put the key to the package box in someone else's mail box...

For on campus, there's an address to send ups/FedEx and a different one for USPS. I ordered a bunch of stuff from amazon and bought overnight shipping. One of the things wasn't from amazon, so I'm also mad at the dealer of that thing because if I pay $30 for shipping, THEN DON'T SHIP IT USPS. But atleast I'll get all the other stuff today.

Hey y'all!

So what would you all consider a good number to be a "bench specialist" for a 220 or 198? I'm thinking I need to at least break 600.

There are some reviews in the workout equipment section. I know its uncoated so there is a mainentace factor.

There is also one by f0rbidden below on the westside econ bar (I think he actually powerlifts unlike most of the workout equip section)

I have no personal experience with any of them though.

Awesome thanks for the link. He's got two of the bars I'm deciding between. I'm usually scared to venture outside this section on this site.

Chiro said tight hamstrings and tight hip flexors (especially left one) causing me to compensate squats with my lower back. About what I suspected. Paid some money and got electrical stim with TENS unit while laying on a table that had rollers that moved up and down your back. Then some acupuncture on the lower back, spinal adjustments, and biofreeze. Lower back feels better but he says to take the week off from squats, deadlifts, abs, and back extensions and come back again next week. He said I can do leg press instead. Gotta decide if I wanna do it.
