What's diameter of the handle? 1.25". I think I'll try to keep the working "hold" weights in the 0:30 range so I'll be going up on the axle and staying with the farmer's weight for he time being. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted October 7, 2020 Author Share Posted October 7, 2020 October 6, 2020 Before Supper Low back is still achey. Figure it’s from the elliptical and getting a bit of a twist that I’m not used to. Considering a 8-12 week bodybuilding block. Without doing the heavier push presses in awhile the heavier stuff isn’t great and I’ve lost my pp pop. Side note; these French presses are the shizzle!
