    Rip hasn’t completed a day of work until he’s leaned on everything in the gym.

    I had the occasion to stop in the WFAC on my way back from a trip out to the panhandle. Having learned a lot from this channel, I wanted to pick up copy of Starting Strength, since it wasn't available in my local bookstore. I knocked on the door, and the lady in this video in the jean-shorts (Carmen, I think is her name?) was kind enough to open the door and sell me a copy that she had in the back.
    Having been on the road for some time, I asked to use the restroom. She kindly pointed me to the back corner.
    As soon as I finished my business, I turned the toilet paper rolls around in the stalls so they dispensed the wrong way.
    Victory being mine, I collected my copy and returned home.
    It was a good day.

    35 lb plate is because up until the 70's most barbells were sold as a set through a catalog and they'd give you 2 of each size to save on shipping, you could mix plates to come up with different weights; you didn't have 10 of everything like in a modern commercial gym; also gave you a nice taper on the sleeves when you used all of them with most of the weight closest to your hands which is where you want it. Standard plates also had 7.5, 12.5, and 20 lb plates available.

    • @Grendelbc
      @Grendelbc 4 года назад

      Standard plates had so many sizes - 1.25, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5, 15, 20, 25, 35, 40, 50, 75 and 100. I have at least one set of each in my collection. I have a few standard plates in kg sizes too.

    22:15 _That fan, see that fan? That fan is actually one of the the propeller and engine groups of a World War II B-17 bomber. After the war, it was taken out, sold as military surplus, propped up in this metal pole, and has been running ever since. It actually flew in the Western theater, in these glorious days, when we went in to firebomb our brothers in their hospitals and museums into charred fat because . . . well, don't ask. Anyhoo, it's highly illegal today to have that much power in a fan; it'll chop an albatross into minced meat and keep chugging along just fine._
