Those are fantastic. I got the extension so that they go to 120's.

I did as well, I skipped the 160 lb option.

Yes, the black one is the Rogue Ohio bar. The silver one in the landmine is a POS Sports Authority bar. Peeking out from around the corner on the far side of the mirror is a NY Barbells Buffalo bar and a Westside safety squat bar. Out of frame is my beloved Rogue trap bar. Here is the trap bar set up for deadstop military pin-press:



My POS SA bar just broke, coincidently.  I just bought a Pendlay bar off craigslist which appears to be much better.

LOL, the 160 thing looked WAY too kludgy for my liking. With my shoulder the way that it is, I never intend to press more than the 120's anyway.

I have 2 POS SA bars. One of which is broken. Not high quality stuff.

Funny thing - I always wondered why I was benching more at home than at the gym.  Took me a year to realize that shit bar weighed 35lbs.

Thanks man. In my gym the wifi is rockin', the music is always my favorite, the TV is ESPN 24x7 and I can bang my wife with a fresh pump!

My wife has a thing for weighted hula hoops. Don't ask, I don't either.

She deadlifts too.

Setting the safety arms to chin height has really helped my shoulder. I don't do full ROM reps, but my shoulder feels sooooo much better.

The reloaders are disassembled right now (haven't reloaded in a year). Will this pic suffice?

AJ is "UK elite" certified.

Makes us proud to think the land we left behind has men of his stature roaming around.

Aj is my Nebrew.

He was dealt a rough hand (assburgers, and down syndrome) but did not let that stop him.

Everytime he talks about software, I get a hard drive.

No, I don't let it get below my chin. My left shoulder has a mild rotator cuff injury and the bottom of the ROM is where it hurts. Pin presses also let me dead-stop so I can't bounce out of the bottom.

Yes, but I am pretty sure my arms are bigger.
