I got my barbell pad after using my barbell one time without one. It was awful! Try Amazon.com.....mine was under 10 bucks.....the brand is Valeo. I had to roll a washcloth around my bar and then put the barbell pad over that to get a tight fit. Hope this helps!

I have them and love them......they are a really worthwhile investment. Try them! :)

Ditto on the weighted vest......I have 2 and wear both of them. That's so cool that you are a skater!! I have always been amazed by skill and grace that takes. Not to mention the powerful legs! :D

I did use mine for some cardio moves and think that too much motion just weakened the areas where the leaks happened. Since there's already a hole from being stitched, it just seemed to enlarge the hole. That being said, you still love this vest and find that it really amps up my workouts! I...

Thanks for the replies. Since I purchased mine from Amazon, I figured I'd see what they thought. They were so nice! And they are shipping me a replacement. So if either of you can go that route, it would be worth pursuing. Guess I willl just have to use the new one for non-cardio activities...

Hi! I have the 12-20 pound adjustable vest and I love it. However, it is starting to leak and I don't know what to do. Some of the stitches where the weights attach the the vest are becoming holes, if that makes any sense. I only use it at 20 pounds so the fabric has not been disturbed by...

Debbie......wow....thanks! Such a quick and complete reply. I really appreciate all the information. Cathe Forum people are great!! Thanks again :)

Hi Cathe! (Or anyone else who may know).... I am doing a S&H rotation and can never understand the explanation of "pre-exhaust" during the leg workout. Cathe says that "putting 50 or 60 pounds on your back is probably difficult so we put the pre-exhaust in to help take care of that". What...

Good nutrition is very important too I'm not exactly sure which method is best (perhaps Kathryn will chime in!) but I do know that, at least for me, the best and most visible results were directly connected to my eating plan. You really do need to take in plenty of protein to help those muscles...

I love my barbell and think anyone who works out with Cathe would benefit from having one. It really improves and enhances her workouts. You don't have to spend a fortune and, with a little creativity, you can easily store it in a small space. I got mine at Walmart......it's the Gold's Gym 100...

So sweet! Hi Liann! I have never posted here before......yup, a lurker......but I swear that I was just thinking "I wonder how Liann is doing?". Thanks so much for the pictures of your adorable Akadia......you must have had the best Christmas ever!! All the best, Marianne
