i think you're fine going with black. i've got the pendlay competition bumpers with colored ink and i have no trouble distinguishing plates. the difference in thickness is enough to set them apart. ...
alright, so maybe i have long ass forearms, cuz i also find it difficult to keep the bar on my shoulders without my elbows being in front. either that or i have a flexibility issue, which would also...
i scoffed at cf, did a free class, and ended up signing up for six months. met con work was new territory. cf gets a lot of crap and deservedly, but there are definitely some good coaches out there...
that's the belt i've got and i love it. only complaint is if you plan to ramp up in weights, you have to completely unfasten the belt every time, unless you've got the loading pin.
i'm thinking weighted dips were the key. i just realized that i've been stalled at 205# ever since i took them out. i was up to sets of 8x135# and now i have no idea where i am.

i've got both j-cups from sorinex and i prefer the sandwich ones. main reason being that the bar doesn't slide around, so you're always squared off. i think the elitefts ones allow the bar to roll...
i agree. i've got both and i end up using the straps, exclusively. the sorinex square spotters are also good as a dip station if you have utility pins, but i end up just using rings for that. the...
if they're urethane, they must be slotted, right? otherwise, they're probably rubber coated revolvers. the only way to stop collecting plates is to start using them, then realize how much gear you...
