Coast Barbell Club

Recommended Posts

Well...seen as the first of our equipment arrived yesterday I might as well let the hounds run...

Miss Bar-Belle and myself have decided to open a barbell club. Coast Barbell is a non-profit org dedicated to strength and muscle building much like Eastside (thanks heaps Doc for your encouragement and support) and encourages the use of strength programmes and equipment where as your shiney land gyms would more than likely dissapprove :lol:

Will take some pics later and keep you in the loop as more gear shows up 8)

Cheers fellas..Im gonna need a hand knocking the place into shape :nod: and taking some of the "shiney" off :lol:

Its a pretty big task but we wont be phased by it and have done heaps already...paint on walls, some gear..more to come including plates, power cage (fitness works custom job :wink: ), 4 1500lb oly bars, a 5 ft bar, curl bars, another multi press, a few cardio items and when I can afford it the DBs...sheesh they are pricey! especially if you want to go to 50kg which I do. Will add some weight trees, rubber mats around the equipment, change the place over to single phase power and today I started on building the deadlift platforms from heavy duty 35mm rubber tiles and will stick a wooden surround around them and secure to the floor. Im not sure how the rubber will go but if its no good then I have plenty for a stretch/floor exercise area.

A few pics - getting some help from the young fella today :lol:

I have ordered a 2.4 x 1.2m mirror for the back wall just to keep a few of our bodybuilders happy :wink:

Thanks mate!

Watched a keen young asian guy today trying to deadlift my 2 rolls of rubber matting off his shed floor this morning...he wasnt having much luck

The stuff is bloody expensive and by the time I get the dumbells to 50kg and the rest of the gear I will have used my budget (for the time being :wink:)

anyways I said to him "you want a hand mate?"

"it wery heavweey"

" look out a sec then fella" as I wrapped my spaghetti arms around it and carried it NZSM anvil carry stylez to the car. :lol:

"oo wery stwong"

"and you drive a hard bargain son" :lol:

after a bit of bartering I got 2 for the price of one :lol:
