Equipment Question

hecdarec Posts: 2,457 Joined: 2003/12/16	2004/03/18, 09:42 AM How much do those ez curl bars weigh? I am talking about the standard one that you can find at most gyms. -------------- My gym dues are not paid with money.

Now you can get a pink paint marker and do everyone else a favor by writing how much that bar weighs on the end of the bar:) Didn't you almost like it better when you thought maybe it weighed 25 lbs..... -------------- "To be able to go to the gym and train hard is a joy and a privelege, even though the hard work necessitates driving yourself through considerable discomfort.

hecdarec Posts: 2,457 Joined: 2003/12/16	2004/03/19, 09:38 AM Yes asimmer I was slightly disappointed when the bar "only" weighed 17 lbs. Hurt my pride a little. Everytime I see someone using that bar I am going to go up to them and ask them how much it weighs. Chances are they will lie and say it weighs 25 lbs. I will then laugh inside and not tell them the truth. -------------- My gym dues are not paid with money.
