EPTI've actually been using rowing as a quasi brick workout by doing row then bike. It kinda feels like you've finished swimming and you avoid the transition from the pool to the locker room to the bike.

Felt like I could have done more (I have cleaned more) but I was practically blacking out after attempting the final couple lifts. Anyone know what causes that/what I can do to prevent it? Vagal response. Breathe. | ||

I guess you go on /r/fitness too? I've seen Decaf post there from time to time, but I don't think I've seen any other TLers on there. | ||

been trying for a month, I'd either get to 80% of my high bar squat, or simply not being able to squat 130kg for a triple (like I can't go down) I think I'll just give up on it lol | ||

Birthday squats are no problem boys. like I'm about to fall over, I can't keep my balance. I have 0 power out of the hole aswell. | ||

If I wasn't going away to college next fall and wasn't already tight on space in my basement, I'd probably just drop the $75-85 on new dumbbells. But in this case I don't think it really makes sense to get two new dumbbells when I'm not even going to be at home in a few months anyway. The plates line up almost perfectly with the dumbbell's ends, so that's not an issue. Am I just being crazy or is this a semi-plausible idea? | ||

This would save me S&H as well as paying for 35 lbs dumbbells (which are gonna run me a minimum of $1/lbs), but I'm wondering if this is safe. I'd use duct tape and make sure that the plates are secure, but I'm wondering if anyone here has any idea of whether or not this a good idea.

My gym has these cool 2.5 lb magnetic weights that you can attack to dumbells or w/e. If you got some of those you'd only need 10-20-30-40 etc. Save half your dumbell costs | ||
