Thank you, and yes everything is still mainly in pounds, the only people that have successfully converted to the metric system are Drug dealers and Doctors
.... oh and those that agree that everyone else uses metric, we should had switched in the 70's.
people hate visiting I have the scale set to Kg and they think the scale is broken, then you tell them take that nuber and multiply it bu 2.23 and they are to lazy to do that.

Great job, where are you holding the extra bench fip weight?

Great job, where are you holding the extra bench fip weight?

I use the ez bar across my waist. I have a stool a bit higher than the bench I use for my feet so the zig zag in the bar keeps it in place nicely and being shorter the weight sits just at the edge of bench while resting.

I liked the parallel bar dips I used to do but think they were part of the shoulder problem I was getting. Haven't had it re occour since I stopped them.

Gotta hate it when the favorite exercises are what's injuring you
