Ok then boys and girls the frame walk will replace the farmers. 25m one way fastest time wins the weights for the novice will be 250kg we tried 230kg today and it was to light the lads were doing runiing with it H did a 270 for 20m so 250 should be doable my most you you guys.

[iceman68]

can you tell me roughly watt weight will axle press start at an his it 2inch bar or normal gym bar

[Steve Gardener]

70-kilos and there is a reason its called an axle....

[cougarman]

It's a 2" thick bar with plates added to it.

[beowulf]

Mike,Regarding the problem with your tshirts try leon from wear2gym, he's quick and a reasonable price mate.

[strongwoman]

Hi Mike,

Please bring some 2.5 kg (and I hope you will be doing 1.25kg) for the Axle for the women?

Thanks
Hanne

[doubleenderxxl]

Hi Mike, Kev from Exeter here

Can you tell me, how wide is the axle? and what will be added to it to make the various weight increments?

thanks in advance

EDIT/ Is the 90kg plate a professional plate (ie: a quality brand like Weider) or is it some rusty old thing? thing is I have delicate skin and dont want to get TB or owt

[Steve Gardener]

LOL. You ain't on the bus no more ya sucker!! LOL

Hanne. The jumps are, 10, then 5 and then finally 2.5 so that means we HAVE to bring 1.25's with us. It's a given. We ain't got any smaller than that.

[strongwoman]

Hi Steve,

What weight are the Axle starting at?

Hanne

[Steve Gardener]

For the girls? No idea. PM Mike.

[cougarman]

What sort of weight would you like it to be. I have no idea i will let the girls decide on the day that would be best i think.
