Ron Aldo Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 If anyone is based in the Edinburgh/Livingston area, we have some older cast-iron plates we're looking to sell - they've been given a fresh coat of paint and are grand for a home gym, just not really suitable for the work we're doing. I'm going to take some photos and upload them to Gumtree later. How much would you be looking for and what weight are you talking? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super_carson Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Hmm, I need to go and double check but we've got probably a half dozen each of 20kg plates all the way up to 2.5kg plates. I'm about to go up after I've eaten and take a note and photos - I'll post it here. I'd say there's at least 250-300kgs worth plates off the top of my head. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super_carson Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Punt them on Ebay with low starting bid, folk will pay daft money for them.Probably right, but it's the faff to post them all out! So a lot of stuff has been borrowed already but hopefully we can get this back from the players this week. Here's a list of what we have so far: Open to offers, but need to discuss with club before agreeing to anything yet. They're all olympic size plates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambomo Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Been doing CrossFit online via Zoom and we are all using all sorts of weird and wonderful things as weights. I’ve been using a rucksack filled with bags of rice, tins of tomatoes, beans, etc. Taped 2 cans together to make a small dumbbell. Obviously not as effective as proper weights but enough combined with the cardio stuff. Apparently this morning someone was using two bottles of red wine 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super_carson Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) Hey folks, me again. Finally had some time to collect in the loaned gym equipment and been told what I'm to sell it for. It's based in Edinburgh, so if you're on the hunt for some plates then have a look at the Gumtree add below: https://www.gumtree.com/p/weight-plates/cast-iron-weights-plates-olympic-bar-sized./1377043297 Ideally looking to sell the plates as sets, but open to offers if they don't sell in sets. They're actually in good nick, I re-painted them all a few months ago (some are a bit scuffed again but it's purely cosmetic). Just not suitable for olympic lifting like we are doing, but ideal for home gyms if you're just looking to squat/bench etc. No bars for sale, I'm afraid. Edited to Add - sold pending collection. All of it went in about 20 mins - just a handful of odds and ends left, but they may be gone as well.

Derry Alli Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Oh dear. A shambolic and quite frankly embarrassing performance by myself this morning. I've kept up the bodyweight exercises but have not done any cardio bar a few short runs with the dog. Went out this morning and done just over a mile jog as a warm up and was pretty wrecked. Gave myself a breather whilst doing some stretches and then lasted 10 minutes doing intermittent distance sprints. I could barely lift my arms in the shower after it. My fucking arms! Embarrassing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you worked hard and left yourself absolutely burst so you should be proud of yourself. Good effort. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Jude Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) Does anyone have recommendations for a decent spin bike for less than £500? We’re expecting a wean in a few months and opportunities to get to the gym are likely to be limited. It would be good to have a bike in the house to do bits of cardio training whenever possible.

The Naitch Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 After admittedly enjoying the break from the gym these last 3 months or so decided to get back on the wagon by running in my local park. I've used the couch to 5k app previously, and spoke about it before on here, so started using that again last week and already feeling the benefit of it. Probably should have started it sooner but hey. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I’ve been diagnosed with tendinitis in my left thumb so won’t be training for while. Anyone got any tips on non lifting stuff I can do? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpy Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) I've done 18.5 miles of walking since Monday. Feeling 10 times better for it. Got 8.5 miles planned for Monday already. Far end of porty prom, along to ocean terminal, back along great junction street (might see @throbber outside the foot of the walk in his Lonsdales), through Leith links and back through porty.

Torpar Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 "My gym" Torque Barbell reopened today with a 35 person limit as Toronto has entered phase 3 of reopening. I cancelled my membership in June and my wife is due our daughter in September so I don't see the point in signing up for one month, I seem to be staying in shape using Super_Carson's bodyweight and band programme anyway but seeing all the Instagram videos of people working out there today has left me with a case of FOMO, I'm going to miss putting chalk on my hands and throwing weights around! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinatoon Bairn Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Planning on getting into some sort of fitness routine as a beer belly at 20 year old isn't a great look. Nothing mental, just something to tighten up the core and boost upper body strength.. Anyone able to point me in the direction of some good circuits/workouts that can be done at home? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Download the Freeletics app and have a look through their workouts. A few on there which require no equipment and can easily be done at home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Freeletics is hard but a great work out if you do it properly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
