Could you get a pair of your own light bumper plates and bring them with you? My gym has them but I’ve ordered a couple of them for at home.
debra!! where did you did you find them?!!!
thank you! and Hello hotness! :D!
word–update.i just spent money i don’t have on some bitty bumper wts…i hope they fit my bar :{
Hello to you too! 
I got a local fitness supply store to order me them. Overpriced and probably low quality but they’ll work for my lightweight purposes. Good luck with yours.
Yeah Buddy! I hope the bumper plates work for you!!!
Yeah debra! I ordered 2 10pounders for 40 bucks.Not the best prices but i’m cool with that.
word masch! ha ha! i can’t wait for them!
sleep schedule’s is screwed up again. par for the course come weekend transition to workdays.oh well. tried to workout some cardio business just now after i got off work but waste of time --total of 2minutes and 54 seconds of elliptical before i launched off.
i will try and get up and back on my new schedule tonight/this afternoon.
plan is just cardio and benching …cardio…and benching:P

Wow. Cheapest I’ve seen in Aussie is $120 for a pair (not including shipping).
They should fit a standard Oly Bar. If they don’t then you should be able to make a case for returning them.
yeah for new plates!
Have a nice weekend Brute 
word! that’s great new alexus! I was wondering what the oly bar i’ve gotat home’s dimensions were…i should get em tommorow night,just in time for my weekedn!
thanks n!!
i just woke up. so new sleep schedule’s is having its blips. one more night of work and itw the weekend…thank god.
never ended up working out until today, which was a surprise burst of energy for an after work mini session
overheads 95x15,105x9,8,95x10
fronties–which were hard. 135x7x3 sets
i feel decondioned of course,but otherwise ok.
then i felt ok, so i broke my rule and did some regular squats.
bar,135,185,225,245,265–all felt really good:)
maybe i was just tired last week i have no idea. these felt pretty normal,but i didn’t push it past 265.
going to go in a lil while for another mini session. i need to bench. i was bad last week and only benched once, after weeks of doing about 3 times a week. i’ll see if a break helped.
oh! and and another note. the process of fixing the last of my fucked up tattoos is in the works. I started Saturday on cover up number 2 for one a hideous disaster piece i have on my belly.
originally it was the glorious cardinal mistake of all relationship–an ex’s name. to be fair we were married at the time and he got mine as well on his ribs. i had it covered up after i left 5 plus years ago, but the cover up …well is ugly and not much of a cover up. you can still see if you look close the freaking name.
now i have hope my tattoo dude i go to now can help, and i:) it SUCKS and hurts terrifically getting it done. OMG> right on my below belly button to hip bone area… but its for the .fucking. best. and so far its rad.
I think bars have standardized sleeve sizes precisely so standardized plates will fit. at least, i’ve never seen anything to suggest that sleeve sizes alter even on bars that are lighter / heavier / longer / shorter / fatter / thinner in the grippable portion. So if they didn’t specifically say they had weird hole dimensions I’d expect they would fit. Fingers crossed for you, anyway.
Glad your training felt good. Congrats on the tattoo - can’t wait to see pics!

fuck… I can empathize… I got one on venice beach and the bitch (got super high) and made a spelling mistake. The text IS really nice and it’s in catalan which no one knows how to speak/spell anyways, but still, fuck. One day I’ll fix it. Cant wait to see pics of your new ones!
word! i hope so! thanks alexus!! I look forward to lazy days of playing with that bar and bumpers in my house
oh my god bre…that…sucks! venice beach! I used to live not so far form there in Cali.
Sounds like the guy who did the original cover up sucks.
Wow, married 5+ years ago? You look like you were in middle school 5 years ago… that’s my way of giving a compliment
Pictures will be needed, you know, just to make sure that you really can’t see the name this time <3
why thank you nikki! i got married young-20/ folly of youth :{
WORD! got my bumper plates!! way cool!
this afternoon
gave fronts another shot 135x10x2 sets,x8x2 sets
bulgarians w/ bb 959/L,x8,x7,x6
front loaded reverse alt lunges 115x8x2 sets
Yay for your new plates! Boo that I’m still waiting on mine! I should get them tomorrow though:)
whooo hooo!! nice Debra!
well i got mine online at http://www.roguefitness.com I think i’ll use that site again should i need any misc oly thing too. I just remembered i have bumper plates in my apt:)!!
speedy delivery too.
today- just 30mins cardio and stretching. might do more tonight.
oh tattoo stuff!! here I am!!
not sure how big yours is, but the part below my bellybutton/pyoobus area was the least painful of any of mine. also a coverup, but thank got it was just 3 mismatched “i’m 18 and have $50” tattoos.
bad tattoo story- one of the guys at my local gym has been there for at least the 4 years that i have. now, i dont keep a log of his weights or his bw, but, all i can notice is that hes gotten fatter and not much stronger. his right arm, though, has grown a collection of “i have $50” tattoos- leprechauns, all in the same ready-to-throw-a-punch stance, some right side up, some cockeyed, different color schemes… about 7 tats in all last time i counted.
like whoa, dude. i could buy you a sheet of stickers or something.
Sorry to read about your back hurting. Best of luck rehabbing it. I’m sure that you do, but make it a point to drink lots of water. Sounds like your discs are ouchy and water and stretching/traction can help plump 'em back up.
