I hadn't thought of that. They have a 57.5mm hole in them as it goes. I would worry about them cracking though. I do have one old steel space saver as well. I wonder if I could get another one and use those as bumper plates.....hmmmmm

sweet jesus man!!! atleast you didnt loose your leg and your actualy able to do it!!! put a tiny bit of fear in me for my stones now! lol
sounds better than my injury tho 2 years ago, i tore my left shoulder out and f**ked it completely, during my lifeguard training! lol
but start slow and build back, i was told i might not get my pressing strenght back if at all, yet i can comfortably press weights above my head, if anything its one of my greatest atributes (and if you look at the numbers underneith my name, you will see squating is my weakest! lol)
im glad that your recovering and getting back into it man and hopfuly you will come back stronger than ever

cheers dude aye it was close but felt heavy at the top didnt get the leg drive I was expecting.
I dont know what has spurred progress I generate a lot of leg drive, im good at loading and stones too so seem to be quite explosive at heavy weights, I think a lot of it has just come from not doing anything but jerks, I dont strict press and only push press maybe once a month if that, I do seated dbell press is all and bench, I seem to just beable to get the right amount of leg drive and dip, maybe good lever for pressing???? dont really know tbh, im just glad that Im nailing the cleans with little effort as thats what seems to cause most loss of energy when people attempt FTOH

i find lock out ok, got strong tris and shoulders thankfully.
what injury did you have?

Cheers Oxman and NO it wasn't fun! Lol
Milsy told me to pull the bar higher up to avoid that happening, so fingers crossed I'll not give myself too many more 'love bites' on my belly.....the missus might start asking questions!
On a side note, I did a couple of hitler cleans after watching Fred Hicks video. They were nice but I'm not sure what the Polish lads in the gym thought about them. I was getting some very funny looks

definatly, i think there more about the technique, considering last time i tried them i got to 83, now 100, they going up nicely
your oly power c+p should be going up soon then if u only 4kg away on the continentals?
aslong as i can do my competition weights on hit pb's at comps im not too bothered about my positioning this year, will be next year i go for podium spots so this years a learning and growing curve: any improvement is movement in the right direction, making me a happy chappy

haydnward said:
loving the red scarring/pinch marks im getting from catching skin on my belt and bar lol!!!
yeah not too bad, now ive got the hang of the technique, its just applying heavier weight to it now
how about you bud? hows your training going?
