BlkIronEpee Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Just picked up 660 lbs of the 1 inch concrete weights, 5 bars and a bench press bench for 50 bucks. I wanted to get my step son doing the starting strength program, these are perfect. Also for loading up a pulling sled, various grip work implements, weighted pullups and fairly light stuff when I get the itch. 660 lbs of just about anything for 50 bucks is a good deal. Except maybe bees... The art of life is more like the wrestler's art than the dancer's, in respect of this, that it should stand ready and firm to meet onsets which are sudden and unexpected. -Marcus Aurelius My Blog --- My Battle Log Link to comment

leadchipmunk Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 660 lbs of just about anything for 50 bucks is a good deal. Except maybe bees...Think of how many bees that would be. According to Google it is over 3 million. Now, think of all your enemies. You can mail them jars of live bees. Or, for the more conventionally minded, think of how much honey you could get from 3 million bees. (By the way, the answer is 120 pounds of honey a day, granted there are enough flowers nearby) http://easthillhoney.com/2011/11/05/how-many-bees-does-it-take-to/Also, great find!

Much like the Spanish Inquisition, no one ever expects bees.It is my goal in life to cause as much chaos as is possible. Think of it as my little gift for humanity.By the way, it works much better if you coat the lid of the jar with over ripe banana.

BlkIronEpee Posted September 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 On second thought, I wish it were bees. Then I could hook a harness on each one and pull my sleigh with it. Delivering cheer.

Steve Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Bees would be epic. Or dogs with bees in their mouths... Rebel Leader. I post videos of my dog on Instagram, and sometimes even share fitness wisdom. SOMETIMES. Link to comment

BlkIronEpee Posted September 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 The fact that is was just a boring weight set is bugging me now The art of life is more like the wrestler's art than the dancer's, in respect of this, that it should stand ready and firm to meet onsets which are sudden and unexpected. -Marcus Aurelius My Blog --- My Battle Log Link to comment
