Well this is sorta alot off topic but i remember seeing a picture on here with some guy having water jugs as weight on his bench too.. man that makes me appreciate things like i have had weights in my house since as long as i can remember i didnt take advantage until know. I mean if i need more weight then is down there my dad will go buy it so im mad at myself for when people are that determined to workout and i wasnt... That shows alot of determination whoever it was keep it up

keep it up

I remember reading that thread too, and seeing the pictures- While that guy's heart was in the right place, those water bottles weren't. I said on that thread that it could be dangerous, and I'll say it again here, in case anyone was thinking about doing the same thing- Proper form is essential when it comes to lifting for numerous reasons, but the most important one is safety. With water bottles, or any other form of weight hanging from your bar while lifting, you're bound to get some sway movement in the bar, which means bad form. Bad form means possible injuries, so please don't try that at home. Smile

I figured that's what you meant- I just posted that to make sure none of the beginners around here started getting ideas. Smile
