the uni gym is AWESOME. i haven't seen so many squat racks! they have strength bags and kettlebells and:
they have a women's (or maybe a training i can't tell yet...) i think it might be women's... Eleiko bar.
:-0
i don't know how to describe... it is like driving a ferrari. maybe. i don't drive. it is just... a wonderful magical bar. the knurling is just perfect and the sleeves rotate just so. and it sits perfect in your hip crease when you get your grip width just right...
i think it's a women's bar. i was so happy i cried. i haven't had one since leaving australia... had a women's bar at weltec - but not an eleiko... and the grip on others isn't as good. had an eleiko power bar at aut but not a women's bar... it is wider and i can't wrap my hands about it as much, feels like it's trying to pull out of my hands whereas with the womens you just grip it and really throw your body around the bar... which i did. i'm so happy.
they have a couple sets of training bumpers...
:-0
oh wow. i can train oly lifting again. oh wow. just... wow. oh wow. i am so unbelievably happy.
and i still have my gym in the city. so when one pisses me off (e.g., as people get to know my routine and i start to feel harrassed) i can mix things up a bit by going to the other one. and i can pick and choose classes...
i feel like i'm about the luckiest person in the world right now...
home made chicken soup from my slow cooker... spent most of the day pottering about doing maths / cooking / cleaning. wonderful time at the gym. battling ropes!!! i forgot about them!!! crash mats, too. back flip - here i come!!!
perhaps i might find an exercise science class to enroll in.. hur...
