i have Olympic size barbell and iron so i would have to get plates to fit standard size dumbbells if I go the plate kind of dumbbells. right?

the ones you posted only go to 52.5 lbs, I was thinking of going with the 1090 model to go up to 90 lbs. for when i use them too.

Yes you would need "standard" plates.

Here is a good source. Not sure how the price stacks up, but it's where I purchased my equipment:

New York Barbells - Manufacturer of Gym, Weight, and Fitness Equipment for 35 years

The black plates are $1 per pound:

PLATES & DUMBELLS

This is pretty cheap. 40 pounds plus spin-lock handles for $50.

40 lb. CHROME DUMBELL SET

Thanks for the link Steve, I may get some olympic size dumbells. Then i can just buy plates that work on the barbell as well.

WEEK 17 DAY 1

i Knew I would have extra strength with all the muscle building food I ate today. Squats were ATG and felt great, Im going to cont. to progress from where I am but fell I could have went a little heavier. I just want to make sure form stays strict.
Took 3 scoops of Scivation NOVEM 30 min before session
Squats
135x9
185x9+1
200x8

Straight leg dead lifts went up on weight on first set so I did not have to swap again.
185x10= +10 lbs
185x11+1rep

Bent over barbell rows had extra in me so went for it
155x12+2 reps
165x11+1
175x11+1

BHTNP
145x12+2
145x11+1
145x11+1

Bench presswith the extra shoulder press's I thought I may have trouble here
150x10
170x10
200x10+1 WRONG

Barbell curls
95x10
95x10
95x10+1

BW DIPSsurely I should have stalled here after all that pressing
NOPE!!!!!!
10-10-10-10-10 but I had to push for the last 3 on the last set

Barbell calf raise
215x16+1
215x15
215x15

ABS

70 lbs cable crunch's 3 sets of 10 70 lbs on my lat tower is equal to over 100 lbs on most lat towers

side knee lifts on power tower= 2 sets of 10 to each side= abs screaming for mercy after cable crunchs

This was an awsome work out, total time 1 hr 30 minutes. Could have went quicker but 6 year old twins lifted with us. video of that to come

I knew I would have more in me but I really feal I have been having a little more on shoulder press and rows for a while but did not want to mess up progression.


Finished this session off with 3 sets of 15(35lb) kettle bell swings. My legs and abs could not take any more, I thought I would puke so I called it good.

Now its eat and rest time

[CLEEPER]

I am already starting to feel the presence of Uncle Doms In the Shoulders and upper back. I guess a healthy dose of extend will be on the diet for the day

THanks AL, I usually dont go past the 1 rep per session on exercise's because I dont want to jump to fast. I had a lot of energy yesterday and have been thinking that I could go more anyways so I went for it. Truth be told I could have done 12 reps for all 3 sets on BHTNP but chose to just do 2 extra on the first set and 1 on the others so that my bench would not suffer to much. Im glad I did not go all 12 , I may not be able to work out wensday if i had .
