On the twelfth day of Liftmas my true love gave to me
Twelve dumbbells a-pumping,
Eleven inclined benches,
Ten skipping ropes,
Nine giant tires,
Eight glasses of milk,
Seven balance trainers,
Six straps a-lifting,
Five iron rings,
Four kettlebells,
Three row attachments,
Two Indian clubs
And a squat rack and a weight tree.
>25s before 45s
>weights pointing out instead of in.
Is this bait?
Do you even gift, bro?

Oh yeah, and a pussy pad
>>35153670
>pussy pad
God damn that's a shitty rack. I hope you never have to bail on a squat.
>>35153706
>>35153706
No, I stretch out with the 25 on the bar so I can get my ass down to the floor, then add outside up to whatever I'm aiming for. Saves moving a couple of plates. I don't see any reason why direction would matter. I knew a guy in university who did it like this, and he went to the Olympics, so it can't be important.

I'm not familiar with /fit/ lingo, so if that is an insult it's lost on me.
>>35153793
there's nothing 'wrong' about having the 25's on the inside.
it just looks retarded as shit.
>>35153819
Ah. I didn't realize you were so fashion-conscious. Do I need to get matching head- and wrist-bands, too?
>>35153670
>safeties that high
>tampon
>plates facing out
>light plates on the inside
>>35153793
>>35153793
are your beefcake traps harmed by the weight of your babbyweight? and yes, you squat more than me.
>>35153836
No, but you should ditch that pussy pad. And why are those safety bars so high up? Squat lower fag. And while you're at it put more weight on the bar you fucking fat pussy
And a shit post for all of us to see!!!!
>>35153855
>plates facing out
how they're supposed to be tbqh.
>>35153670
fuck that looks max comfy
>you will never have a comfy person sanctuary to grow and develop in physically and mentally
>>35154244
>person sanctuary
meant personal sanctuary
>>35153935
You make me sick to my stomach.
Outer plate only gets to face out at meets.
>>35154252
why is this?
mind explaining why it matters which direction the plate faces? thanks.
>>35154258
J-just b-because, OK!
Are you upgrading your barbell from a standard one?
Reason I ask is that I did this just recently and always used to use a pussy pad. Even 20kg it fucking hurt like hell and there was no way I could stand the pain.
So naturally when I bought an Oly BB I got a pussy pad, but decided to try without it. That extra 1-2mm thickness or whatever it is makes the world of difference I couldn't believe it. You should try it.
>>35153782
Can you recommend a good strong rack?
>>35153670
Squat lower and
Get rid of the pussy pad forever
Train harder you faggot
>>35153782
>pad on bar
do you really think he/she goes heavy enough to bail?
I'm really liking the lights. I'll see about getting some cheap ones to hang on my cage too.
While we're at fitness related gifts, I want to get some weights for my qt3.14 nonfit gf. Already got her to do squats, but she has twigs for arms. Recommended weights for smallfemale starting strength?
