There are no windows and all the equipment is from the 90s but it's all sturdy so it doesn't matter. I am excited because it's cheaper than PF, closer to my house, and also has boxing lessons. Wop wop wop wop.
Gotta convert all my dumbbell weights to barbell now tho.
I haven't done much (anything other than a landmine press) with barbells, but isn't it just slightly higher than what the added dumbbell weight would be, with the gain coming from easier stabilization?
Yeah lol. I'm still shrimpy but did 5 lbs more than I planned to on the bench press. Progression is easier since the dumbbells jumped 5 lb each which doesn't make a lot of sense.
It would be really expensive to jump dumbells by smaller increments though. For me at least once I got past 10-15lbs the 5lb jumps felt ok but for flys and similar it is rough.
