jayde, the site is great. nice work Good descriptions on then exercises too!

Thank you. My partner, Roger is actually doing the excercise directory- he's been lifting for 10 times longer than I have (not really) and has been running meets for almost as long.
We both have bios in the bio section, or in the "meet the board owners", although to be honest, i don't have a whole lot of experience in powerlifting, but I've learned a LOT from running the site and discussion board.

Where could you purchase foam of varying sizes??

upholstery stores and fabric stores. I think 'foam' is even in the yellow pages but otherwise upholstery places always have it.

interesting. thanks a ton. I think that these would be more beneficial to the bench press than traditional board presses because you need to excersize more control during the switch between the concentric and eccentric movements.

additionally foam has to be cheaper than wood and weigh less on your chest =)

thanks for the reply jayde
