Wish List

[stuward]

I never thought about the threads. I priced it out today and it would be over $100 to build a pair, not counting plates. I could probably buy commercial ones cheaper. Certainly a pair of triceps bars would cost about the same.

This might be a better design.

how will you be using these, Stu?

carries?

Farmer's walks. 2011 was the year of the Turkish Get Up. 2012 will be the year of the Farmer's Walk.

Those look do-able. I've thought of several designs. I weld a little bit, and have some friends who weld more, so most of my ideas involve welding. If I can find the speed-bolt, I could make these.

Does anyone use deadlift socks? Are they the ultimate solution to the problem of skinned-up shins? I've added them to my wish list.

[stuward]

I've never tried them but I have some soccer socks that would do the job. Soccer socks are usually easier to find and cheaper than deadlift socks, the just have a Nike logo instead of Metal.

I use long socks
I have never given them a name

Well, several of the weight supply places sell them, supposedly have a slicker surface than other socks. I saw some, was ordering anyway, so I threw them in. Let's hear it for impulse buying! I'll review them in a few weeks.
