Stadium this morning. Pick a section, full sprint up the lower bowl, full sprint up the upper to failure, try not to puke, don't puke, jello legs down, recover, repeat. Got 4.5 reps in 20 minutes.

I am debating with myself, 'upgrade' to Olympic db bars from std, wait 'till the STDs are completly maxed in a few months @85lbs, or switch sooner, is there an adjsntsge to the rotating spindled on Olympic db bars as opposed to STDs. Fixed bar.

Im pretty much at the same point now but think with the right platesay be able to get the standards up to about 47.5 but I have many plates in different weights and thicknesses. The olympic dbs have long portions for the weights to go on but the collars are bigger and the plates for some are thicker so unsure if it will work out better. The olympic db does weight about 3kgs more than the standard so less weight needs to be added.

Do you have any 25lb or 35lb plates? 45lbs are a tab unwieldy for db curls, 35s are difficult to curl just because of the diameter.

I have only seen 35s in Olympic and 25s would be our 10kg of which I have I think 10 or 12 plates. I brought a second hand lot that added to what I already had so lots of plates. I have 4 sets of standard dbs with weights of 10, 20, 30 and 40kg on them so can strip weight off a heavier one to what is necessary. Taking the 5, 2.5 and 1.25 off the 40 and adding a 10 will bring it up to 42.5 and with probably enough room to add 2.5 more. So still a little room for playing yet..
