Dammit - I screwed up. thought it was Friday today, and told the guy I was coming Saturday morning, which is actually today
so it looks like he sold it to someone, well hopefully he doesn't show up and he will text me back
arghhhhhh
G'damn, this was so perfect for me....
I got to wondering what exercise that exists that most closely relates to the motion of a sprinter from the blocks to the drive out of the blocks.
A lot of exercises that work on the posterior chain do a lot of the knee extension part of the sprint but I don't notice a lot of resistance in the hip extension.
Maybe the use of rubber bands at the waist while doing something like the squats.
hip thrusts useful for hip extension but not so much for knee extension.
And me as usual I like to draw out my problems, which you can see below with some noted exercises that closely resemble but there is always that balance of specificity with convenience. such as doing step ups but adding hip bands to add resisted hip extension.
box squats with the shins straight and hips drawn back but keeping barbell over toes. But would create mechanical disadvantages and so on.
Sweet - some dude is selling all of this
Going over tomorrow morning and grabbing these -
in $AUD
20kg IronEdge Comp Bar $100
5kg Bumper Plates pair $30
10kg Plates pair $20
5kg Plates pair $10
2.5kg Plate pair $5
1.25kg Plates pair $5
EZ curl bar $20
Spring collar pair $5
Olympic collar pair $5
(2) IronEdge soft low plyo boxes $20 - maybe these 2 need to see in person first, thinking the could be useful for various things as they are foam based, so nicely padded. Like foot rest for Bulgarian split squats, or pad for natural GHR etc
I know the bar is worth over $400 brand new and probably a lot better than my current bar, so keen to get another bar so I can have two exercises setup - ie squat and deadlift etc
Plus the EZ curl bar for doing other exercise for when an oly bar is just too big.
More plates so I can setup two bars
Will also grab 4x 20kg plates, with handle holes, second hand as well from another guy, useful for warming up when I'm too lazy to strip one of my dumbbells, plus extra plates for the second bar
Then just 2x10kg plates, and maybe a Safety Squat Bar and I'm set
The squat stands are tempting as well, can handle 500kg load and going for half price, but $400 is still a lot...
8 years later, people still h8n. lmao.
LOL!
Yeah boy!

On the plus side, have got my fiancee into strength training, on the down side I forgot the pan I took out the oven would have a hot handle and burned my right hand. Hopefully the latter heals up soon, as it doesn't seem _too_ bad...
