? about Weight Videos

[mudhiker]

Hi,
Would like to get new heavy duty weight workout. I have none that use heavy weights. However I need to buy a barbell first. Do you gals have any preferences? Where have you found good ones and what am I looking at cost wise. I'd like to get Cathe's Slow and Heavy set but haven't decided yet. I think I'm going to start putting some money aside every week so it might be Jan. before I save enough. Oh well.

Hi Mudhiker! Here is the barbell we used for our later videos and it is a very confortable bar. TROY BARBELL

I second Cathe's emotion about the Troy Barbell - I have a Troy Lite barbell with varying weight plates that add up to about 80 lbs (the bar itself weighs 5 lbs) and I just love it! You can get a system that comes with 40 lbs of weight plates to start, and then get more weight plates as you get stronger.

Also consider purchasing a neck pad, a thick little gizmo you place on the bar between the plates for your standing squat and lunge work - keeps the back of the neck and backs of the shoulders, where the barbell rests, very comfortable.
