Strong Lifts & no squat rack
Hi folks, Tameko mentioned in her (excellent) summary in the strong lifts group that an Olympic bar is 45/35lbs men/women respectively. Today I did workout B (did A Sunday), having read the summary after reading Medhi's manual(!), I had a look at the bar I was using today. It's a Jordan Olympic bar with 1500lbs inscribed…

I exercised today and burned 1579kCals so that's been added to my total food to eat! So I have a total of 3379 kCals today!! I don't think I can fit…
