Nellers Nov 2019 9:41am, 23 Nov 2019 35,294 posts	0 Nellers Hi JCB. Yes I’ve thought about it but I’m using my own weights in my shed. To switch exercises usually means changing the weights which takes as long as just waiting! I’m toying with buying an extra barbell/pair of dumbbells for this reason but it’s another expense!

Nellers Nov 2019 9:22pm, 27 Nov 2019 35,341 posts	0 Nellers Progress update. I did another session last night and I did manage to pair up some of the exercises so I was able to reduce the waiting/recovery time needed. It made it much more bearable. This session is squats, rower deadlift, overhead press, heel lifts, delt raises, curls. I also did some press-ups and abs work after the weights. I bloody know about it today!

Nellers Nov 2019 7:39am, 28 Nov 2019 35,343 posts	0 Nellers I wondered that too, but honestly if that’s the trade-off I think it’s worth it.
