Are all bumper plates equal?

by

I want to buy bumper plates for my homegym and there's just so many brands and types of bumpers that I am a bit overwhelmed. I mainly want something durable and not too harsh on my barbell.

Are they significantly sturdier? submitted by /u/AlarmingConcept2791 [link] … [Read more...]

How to maintain a squat pose when you keep losing balance?

by

I have never been able to do an actual squat pose. Everytime I attempt it, I end of falling backwards onto my butt or I dont go down deep enough. I was given advice by a friend that the best thing that may work for me is to do a "lesser" squat pose starting at about a minute, with each day, I add depth and time (say 5 seconds). Would this work for me? Its not like I lack the strength to maintain one, I just literally can't keep … [Read more...]

Making friends through crossfit?

by

Hi there, Would you say that crossfit is a good way of making friends compared to other sports clubs, running clubs, etc? I did a bit of crossfit in my home town/country and found a really social club, but sadly didn't stay long. So I thought I'd try it in my current city (Melbourne). I have found people to be friendly enough, but from my experience at the couple of clubs I've tried I havent been introduced to the other members and … [Read more...]

Hi everyone! I'm looking to join a gym (box?) in my area and I've found a couple online that I like and have contacted.
