    Olympic plates on a standard barbell

    Nah, the bar is only 7.5 kg, 1", unlike an oly bar which is 2.5". The plate would be much too big for the hole, but as it will be for deadlifitng there wont be much spinning of plates involved.

    Didn't feel great still but just wanted to weights and clear my head. Box Pistols - 3x5 - 14" My form was better than last time, but there's is still more rounding than I would like. Medhi said loaded pistols won't be too healthy for my back. I'm going to switch to Bulgarian split...

    5x5 Strength Training

    Squatting 3x a week won't be too much if you start out with just the bar mate. You have to focus on form though. And the Push ups, once you can do a set of 15 you add weight, so it would be 3x15 weighted push ups. Stronglifts is good for gaining weight if you eat like a beast. I'm no...

    Super thin! Help

    Join the gym, do a routine like Stronglifts 5x5 or Ripptoe, something that consists of compounds lift (exercises that use many muscles). Eat like a beast, some people suggest drinking a gallon of milk a day but you WILL gain quite a bit of fat. Cut down the amount of milk you drink if you...

When i posted that i was around 58kg, I've managed to put on 1.5 kg in the past 3 days eating like a beast, not sure how...

    Box Pistols - 2x5 - 14" Was concentrating on form, but i think lack of food was also a factor in not performing well. DB Incline Bench Press - 3x5 - 12.5kg This is actually felt a lot harder, didn't think 2.5kg could make such a difference. Also, a lot of shoulder cracking in...

    I am ripped!!!! but CANNOT gain weight!

    Maybe try switching to a routine that revolves around squats and has deadlifts. In the routine you posted up it only has one of the big 3, you should probably thinking about switching routines unless squats and deadlifts are some of the exercises you don't know the names of. Squats -...

    Well a lot of those are out of the question due to a lack of space, although i'd be interested in weighted backpack stuff, and i've also been looking to make a sandbag. What would you suggest for weighted backpack stuff?
