Thought I recognised those midget god like squat leverages. Surprised she didn’t go for 4 plates

Well she is arguably the best pound for pound female squatter in the world and multi-time world record holder. Think she squats more than the male WR in the nearest weight class

Piggie, I found a 52.5 lb DB set (total 105 lb) with handles going for 206 USD (before tax, free shipping). I think it’s the cheapest on ebay. Yay or nay?
223.5 USD with tax
If me math is right, it’s 4.67 USD/kg or 2.12 USD/lb (stupid freedom units)
Seems a bit steep/light to me lol but if that’s all u get it’ll do something for u. If u can fit more weight on em u can buy seperately to add on. How much do u think you’ll need?

First of all, F U 
But yeah, 52.5lbs max per hand is around 22.5kg per hand. I definitely can get plenty of work done with those cause I’m a weak little shit (there, said it for you) compared to you

Well it’s cheaper to be weaker lel. I’ve spent lots.
Those plates look pretty thin be able to fit quite a few of them on.
Ye I still think u shud get something with more capacity for loading up unless u really don’t see yourself ever using anymore than this in any movement.

Dumbbell bench press for sure will be the first that’ll reach 22.5kg.
My heaviest DB rows were 15-17.5 kg for like 8 reps I think?
Lots of weight for side laterals, rear delt flyes, and DB OHP
BGSS I’m not too sure. But hey, better than nothing, right?
It’s more of a temporary measure while covid than a long term investment thing. But yeah, putting it that way, it does seem a little expensive.
COVID might be another year lol. As long as u can hit ur compounds decently. U can hit lower body with DBs alright but easiest way is with decent weight if u can. Weights have decent resell value anyways. Weight always weighs nomsayin.
Yep. Even with a vaccine around, it’s gonna take time to vaccinate a significant portion of the population.
When gym starts to open, I wouldn’t be surprised if lots of people are gonna start selling their quarantine weights, so the market’s gonna get saturated for a while. Lol

Ok, so the DB got out of stock. I might have dodged a bullet though. That particular set has 1.15" holes for the plates. Aren’t they usually 1"?
You’re going to always want to be careful to check measurements whenever buying plates and bars. I think there are generally three standards…25mm, 30mm and 50mm. And basically none of it is interchangeable.
Yep, glad I saw that.
The drawback is, apparently that seems to be the cheapest on ebay in terms of USD/lb. Lol
Depends how money conscious u is. Money is tip be spent for quality of life gains at the end of the day. Is the save worth the pain of no gains lol
First decent sesh at Lockdown Gym 2.0. Was getting pretty annoyed at having shitty sessions so happy to get this one.
Tempted to go big today but stayed in the pocket for a top double at 240kg. Hook grip held up well for the first time in a while and positioning was solid. Burnt out fast on the back off sets though.

New bench set up felt tight today. Hit a long pause rep at 120kg which I think is the most I’ve long paused and followed up with wide grip volume.
