does anyone know where I can buy a sturdy dip station that will hold a lot of weight?  During my 5's and negs I'm weighing about 350lbs with weight strapped to me and the station I have now is for 250lb max.  Let me know if there is a website where I can buy a low priced commericial dip station...

When I do close grip bench my left elbow clicks when I lower the bar to my chest.  Now this itself doesn't hurt but when I do pullups/chinups (palms facing me) the inside of my left elbow does hurt.  I can do my reps but afterwards the elbow bothers me.  Is this a common problem that lifters...

Anytime I include barbell curls in my routine my wrists and forearms start bothering my towards the end of 10s and through the 5s even when using an e-z curl bar.  They hurt during dips especially.  Once I switched to incline db curls, I didn't have any problems with wrists or forearms.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he means 100lbs between his role in The Machinist to Batman Begins. The dude ate only an apple and a can of tuna a day to drop 60 pounds or so for The Machinist. I think he was down to 130 or so. He wanted to go lower but the producers thought it was too dangerous.

If you have the space for it I would sell the Bowflex and purchase a power rack with free weights and a bench.  And if you have money left over a set of adjustable dumbells would be nice.

To counter act the light weights when I change reps, I slow down the speed which I raise and lower the weight.  So if I doing my first day of 10's I try to raise and lower the weight slow enough so that the 10th rep is the last one I can lift.

I'm on my second round of 5's (as opposed to negatives) and I'm just not feeling a "pump" when I'm done with my workout.  The 15's and 10's were great and my muscles felt full and huge after each workout.  Currently, I'm using my 5 rep max for the next two weeks because I work out...

Mine reads as Rollin' Down Rodeo. It's from a Rage Against the Machine song.
