Oh, you beat me to it Fraggle. I picked up a catalogue earlier in the week to see what was coming up at Aldi - there is indeed plenty of useful stuff.

Nic said she had a surprise for me on Tuesday and went to the shops in the van. She came home with an Olympic bar - that’s how we roll here  she bought it off eBay from a guy in the next town so collected it.

Oooh -I would LOVE an Olympic bar! Although considering my smallness I would possibly prefer a WOMEN's Olympic bar! Am assuming 'guy in the next village' means the 20g variety!

Yes, it’s 20kgs. It’ll be fine - I use the 20kg bar all the time at the gym - mostly for deadlifts and bench press. Nic introduced me to a ‘sissy squat’ the other day - it’s great. I hate squats usually, but this could be a game changer. |

Oh and she got it for a steal at £70… it’s a good brand that usually retails over £200…!

Complete bargain. As I've noted -I only use a 20kg bar too, there's nothing else in the Lee Valley gym. But what, pray, are 'sissy squats'? |
