Roger that. I’ll schedule em in.
Empty oly bar suffice? No axels in my hood
Empty olympic bar is going to be much harder. It’ll be heavier, and the smaller diameter could beat up the connective tissue. Can you get a 2" diameter pipe? That’s all an axle is. Any plumbing supply location should be able to furnish you one.

I’ve done it with both (and done it with axle weighted to 21kg), it’s a killer with both, forearms get more out of the axle, bi probably depends on which you get a better MMC with. Also Next time you do emom/high set squats do sets of 15/10 with an axle as your rest - because of the position of your hands on the squat your biceps never let the blood out, constant occlusion (which I hear is good for hypertrophy) - it’s agonising… In the right sort of way

How heavy is it meant to be?
Unloaded. 100 reps minimum, no racking of the bar. Go for rep PRs.
Sorry I should have specified, how heavy is the axel supposed to be matey?
25 lbs if I’m not mistaken. I was surpsied that they were hollow lol when I hold one
Your squats with 3 pizzas look so easy ahah
I swear I didn’t go to the gym yesterday and the day before that, and it really was a mental struggle. I was inventing myself excuses like “you can go and train connective tissue, rotator cuff whatever”

It depends on the company. My Ironmind one is 33lbs (15kg). Derek used a 45lb axle. 25lbs tend to be pipe axles.
@kleinhound whatever axle you can get, just don’t load it. I feel like we’re way overthinking this, haha.
