I got a Craigslist Olympic barbell and a few little weights about 6 weeks ago and after watching a few videos, started doing dead lifts 3 days a week. Adding weight to my three sets of ten very slowly and hopefully avoiding injury. Then I picked up some vintage metric plates to use on the Olympic bar in the garage and got a shorter lighter bar for my wife to use in the house with the rubber plates. Yesterday, I got a tall Craigslist squat rack with a pull-up bar and will add squats, bench press, and pull ups. I haven’t lifted since i wanted to be an offensive guard like Jerry Kramer. Now I’m hopping to have fun with this weightlifting stuff, increase my power to the pedals, and prevent serious injury when I crash.
