Ness Apr 2017 5:42pm, 25 Apr 2017 8,163 posts	0 Ness LOL Vrap. No mirrors in our conservatory either. I think you're right, Sharkie, having two of us using the kit seems to justify spending a bit more.
Velociraptor Apr 2017 5:45pm, 25 Apr 2017 36,110 posts	0 Velociraptor We have four people lifting regularly, and nearly all of my sessions have to be done at times when most gyms aren't open, though if I was determined enough now I could go to the new sports centre in Workington early in the morning or late in the evening. We're unlikely to use the gym for anything other than weights at the moment and the treadmill was an inexpensive one, so I'm sure it's all paid its rent by now.

SPR Apr 2017 6:10pm, 25 Apr 2017 23,945 posts	0 SPR A personal Olympic lifting gym would be great and expensive! I have dumbbells and have enough weights to lift fairly heavy at home but not the type of lifting I like to do. The dumbbells will be more useful for power stuff later in the season.

Duracell Apr 2017 9:19am, 27 Apr 2017 120 posts	0 Duracell My husband will kill me if I buy anything more 😂 Cage, olympic bar, weights, Swiss ball, kettle bells, sandbag and a treadmill.... I've not told him I am looking for a prowler now we have artificial grass!! Thankfully he is now starting to dabble. Been training lots recently - comp in August 'birmingham's strongest' novice women. Great to see more strength chat again
Captain Malcolm Reynolds Apr 2017 9:27am, 27 Apr 2017 742 posts	0 Captain Malcolm Reynolds Think you're safe now Duracell, I'm not there to encourage you buy anymore kit. When's your competition?
Gus Apr 2017 11:18am, 27 Apr 2017 1,464 posts	0 Gus I'm toying with getting a 5th olympic bar to start with seeing as I'm going to have loads of time to spare when i retire at the end of May:) I've been watching for sale sites but nothing yet locally:(
Sharkie Apr 2017 11:21am, 27 Apr 2017 11,387 posts	0 Sharkie 5th Olympic bar? Do you mean 15kg, Gus? Can't see what you'd do with FIVE 20kg ones!

... a weights wire for women.

And in case you're wondering about that title, well, I like alliteration and one can be too po-faced about the use of girl/lady/woman.

Here's a strength standards for women thing Duracel found for us
