Thought about building myself an olympic spec bench a few times but cant justify the price of the 3" bar and plates... absolute extortion.

Thought about building myself an olympic spec bench a few times but cant justify the price of the 3" bar and plates... absolute extortion.
I bought an olympic 100kg dumbbell set a few years ago and quite recently got an olympic bar for £40 off eBay. There's a local place I got my plates from was like £25 for 25kg tri grip plates. All I need is a bench and a squat rack and I can do everything at home. I mostly got the stuff for doing deadlifts at home as the bars are always being used in the gym.
looks like my little bmw adventure could all be over :(
Why TJ ? how bad is it ?Quote:

Plus side it's got the cleanest intake and cylinders of any BMW around.
Sadly seen that before... But how did you manage it?
I was rushing about thought I could get it back on the road really quick had two hoses left to attach that looked identical and could have gone to either port. Couldn't see one of them was clearly a coolant run off because the lower part of the inlet obscured it.
I did wonder why a breather hose had clamp marks on it when attaching it but just brushed it off thought it might have been a replaced hose in the past or something
Also when I first detached that coolant hose no water ran out of it what so ever :/
That hurts. Sorry to hear that mate. :(Quote:

I'll take it that it is unsafe to use ?.
Turbojolt unfortunately bmw's don't run on water just yet hahaha
I was told water injection was good for performance lol
Peace of shit still won't run right. Good comp across all 4 cylinders (some how lol) no more water in sight...just starts then dies straight away with a annoying whistle noise that I can only presume is a massive airleak somewhere
Having to come back from a nice hot holiday to the uk :(
Dark earlier nights.Proper depressing.
^^^^ This dark nights weekends fly by. Nothing done again on either nova!!
Having a previously working small Honda engine suddenly stop dead at the most inopportune moment.... mad panic ensued... new spark plug, oil level checked, carb cleaned, all the usual things... then we found no compression.. rocker cover off, to find a stuck valve... fixed it with a screwdriver and a hammer....live and learn......
Took my golf for an mot and the tester found a nail in my front tyre,pair of new continentals ordered for tomorrow morning it is then.
Reaching the final season of sons of anarchy after watching the full box set for the past few months, it's making me want a bike... I bloody hate bikes lol
Extremely fucking pissed off today.. Been waiting a VERY long time for parts and keep getting told when it'll be done etc. I was expecting the parts to be done last week. Tried to get in contact this whole week and countless phone calls today. No answer... Clearly ignoring me. How the fuck can people run businesses like this.
Loved that show. You will live the finale season. Samcro had the same effect on me but then I remembered bikes are for gaysQuote:

It's not cheap but its worth it, program is done to my ability but changed every week to make it harder and the people that run it have/and still do spend a fortune on their own education to make sure they know everything worth knowing. Wish I'd started using this gym from the beginning!
Wow, your very serious about getting fit these days.
Pics of wwmnw's physique required to warrant 80 quid a month.
Dont think my nuts could take that....
I wouldn't be paying £80 a month (plus the local gym fee of £27) if I was in good shape lol need to keep a better track of my calories.
Not cheap that! I'm £94 a month for mine but that's for the mrs as well. Mine is only silly busy at peak times. I go in the mornings when on nightshift and late at night on day shift. Although I'm only making it twice a week at best at the moment. Slacking big time and struggling for motivation now.
Fuck gyms
Full of roid heads with tiny little legs posing in mirrors and blagging on about utter crap
I'm currently building a house extension to put all my gym equipment
Want to get a decent running machine next
