Thanks ladies :smile: I will weigh the bar when it arrives as I've heard they are not always accurate. I will also remember to add all weight together. I'm unlikely to add any plates until I have my form correct, reading through the SL and SS pdf's atm and practicing with a broom handle with carrier bags full of sugar on…

Hello girlie :) Here are the dimensions... I do hope i've not gone and bought the wrong thing :-/ It's only for a small set up at home. 6ft Bar •Approximate dimensions: 72" length, 42" internal between revolving sleeves, 15" sleeve length of which 13.5" you can fit disks onto. •Weight 16kg •Weight Capacity - 270Kg

Thank you Lwoodroff that's really helped. :smile: I may be along to ask further questions if you don't mind. :smile:

Thanks for the links :flowerforyou:

Great info thank you

Thank you for this :smile:

The broom thing sounds like great advice to me, any help to get this right is appreciated. The deficit thing I'm still unsure about though, I was thinking maybe not eating back the strength training calories back but continue to eat the cardio back. I guess this will be trail and error for a couple of mths. Thank you…

Thank you BusyLady :) I've heard it maybe just worth just using the bar with no weights till i get my form correct is that right? If it is an olympic bar as they are heavier than standard bars.

^^^^ This is why i never considered it The lack education and bulk thing. I'm just about to start lifting and it wasn't until i came here and read, took on board what i read and saw photo's in the support forum that it hit home. I'll most proberbly have an induction at my new gym next wk and i will have a copy of the SL…

Thanks, you guys rock!! :) Right so i eat at a deficit and up my protein. Nervous as hell but also excited to start a new program. You guys have inspried me to take up lifting, i'm feeling pretty confident i can do this. Time will tell right. :)

Ohh thank you for you help :-) I am a total beginner to lifting. But have been stuck in the cardio thing for mths. Time to mix it up me thinks. I do have some fat to lose yes. Thank you for replying

Bumped for the vids, thanks.

Tagging for reference, thank you.
