      If that's too heavy for you you can leave some weights off. Maybe start with the two 1kg weights.

      That's right. Still looks like a good price though.
      Either buy the barbell set and use the weights or buy 2 or 3 sets of dumbbells or together. If you need more hit the gym.

      Start today then! Try negatives, ie jump / use a step to get up, then lower yourself as slowly as possible. Repeat until it feels like your arms are going to fall off.

        Yep, this or even just working your way up using a lat pulldown machine (if you have one available) would both be good options

      • dane45 on 12/02/2018 - 15:55

        If you're a gym member, they likely have a dip/chin assist machine.

        These can be great to practice the movement and train your body, using loads that you can actually manage

    • sanepowers on 12/02/2018 - 13:10

      Practise. Chin-Ups are much easier. Pull-Ups I can do easy when doing one at a time.

      • adr8 on 12/02/2018 - 14:59

        I find pull-ups easier I think I am just use to them more, do 2 sets of 25 everyday.

        • Lukas on 12/02/2018 - 15:27

          Yeah if you never train chin ups you'll find pullups as same or easier.

    • skhun on 12/02/2018 - 20:18
      +3

      I strongly recommend you to start with chin assist machine as dane45 suggested.

      Lat-pull down is a great exercise, but it does not promise you to pull up your self. I've seen many people who can lat-pull more than thier body weight, but cant do a single pull up. and I saw some people who does lat pull with a half of thier body weight, and still can do multiple pull ups.

      It is because unlike Lat pull down, pull up does not use an isolated muscle movement, but it requires you to coordinate multiple muscles.

      Lat-pull down is categorized as "Closed chain" excercise, while pull up is "open chain".
      What this means that, Lat-pull and Pull up may be seemed to be use the same (or similar) muscle group/ motions but your body sends different neuro-signals when you perform open or closed chain exercise.

      Your brain processes pull up as almost like reflexes, like riding bicycles or running. once you learn how to do it properly, you cant forget it, you cant control it. you just do it some how

    What's the max weight U can put in the barbell set??

    • Merlict on 12/02/2018 - 13:03

      I mean theoretically it looks like you could fit 3 of the bumper plates so 120kgs but you're gonna bend the hell out of it quickly.

      • hhuy837 on 12/02/2018 - 13:30
        +1

        You can fit 5 'bumper plates' on that bar on each end but if anyone is going to put that much weight I think they'd want to invest in better gear or go to the gym.

      • Homr on 12/02/2018 - 13:46

        Sorry, I meant what is the total weight on the barbell included?

        My calculations come at 42.50 which is an odd weight

        Long (24kg)
        2 x 1.25kg
        2 x 2.5kg
        2 x 3kg
        Bar weight 5kg

        = 42.5Kg?

        • sheepdog on 12/02/2018 - 14:29
          +1

          If the barbell only weights 5kg, you'd want to steer clear of it completely. A standard barbell at the gym will weigh 20kg, there'll also optionally be slightly thinner bars at 15kg. The ones that are about the width of a curl bar are probably about 10kg.

        • hhuy837 on 12/02/2018 - 14:37

          @sheepdog: Yeah, I just realised Aldi have their terminology wrong. What @Homr is referring to is the barbell in the ad = straight curl bar

          "forever small"
          Everyone's got different goals, don't think your lift weight is tiny just because someone else lifts more than you :)

        • Homr on 12/02/2018 - 16:55

          @orza: My Apartment Gym only has max weight of 25Kg Dumbbells, so I can't lift any heavier even if I wanted to :(

        • Slippery Fish on 13/02/2018 - 10:13

          @Homr: if you want real strength that's enough… Burst training is all good but real strength comes from doing the weight or exercise alot… A guy who does 3 reps of 40kg will be alot weaker then the guy doing 3 sets of 40 25kg.

          Just the 40kg guy has a stronger initial burst, he can't kept it up.

        • Homr on 13/02/2018 - 10:45

          @Slippery Fish: I'm looking to build muscle mass hence why I need to lift heavier weights. Doing 40 reps is just crazy tho and it will just give you endurance~~

          But surely the 40kg guy can beat the 25kg guy in an arm wrestle.

        • Slippery Fish on 13/02/2018 - 11:48

          @Homr: go wrestle a fisherman or someone who does the kind of job that builds crazy endurance, if they get past your initial burst of strength I bet they do infact beat you.

        • CactusReloaded on 13/02/2018 - 15:29

      • dimavs on 12/02/2018 - 14:15
        -1

        Actually, make sense. If they were one size you could put one 20kg on one side and two 10kg on other (or evemn mixup weights) - barbel wouldn't be balanced anymore and you may injure yourself.

        • sheepdog on 12/02/2018 - 14:33
          +2

          Bumper plates are normally different colours (and obviously thickness) per weight, so you wouldn't mix up your weights. Bumper plates in gyms are always the same size. Makes deadlifts easier at lighter weights if the plates are full size so they reach high up your ankle (i.e. a 5kg plate being as high as a 20kg plate).

        • phocus on 12/02/2018 - 14:54

          @sheepdog:

          They are also the same diameter for the sake of mitigating equipment damage. If the load was to fall from any height it is spread to a larger surface area. But you are right most importantly it is for consistency of starting all lifts from the same point, rather than lower then higher.

    • alebox on 13/02/2018 - 07:59

      you can try doing landmine exercises. lots of great landmine exercises like row and press

      looks good but the lack of a dip accessory is kinda annoying. I just chin from a barbell on my used power rack from Gumtree but no dips sucks.

      • Atronach on 12/02/2018 - 14:07

        For dips, you could buy a pair of olympic rings and hang them from the pull up bar

    • hhuy837 on 12/02/2018 - 13:26

      I actually got this last year and am pretty happy with it. It is a decent starter kit, could be better but for what I paid it was worth it. Mind you, I bought mats, a bench, the bar, and weights.
      The black metal support struts for the pull up bar does get scratched pretty easily but it wouldnt matter unless you have a lot of water nearby

    • Teal on 12/02/2018 - 13:29

      I actually bought this last year, really great rack

      The box was alot longer than I thought it would be though, and had to dismantle the box to tetris into the van I brought which I thought should have done the job.

  • androo on 12/02/2018 - 13:13
    +3

    Just a quick note for those considering the weight plates - I'm not sure why these weights are called "bumpers" - if they're the same as like last year, all the plates other than the 20kg are just ordinary rubber coated weight plates (thin rubber coating). They're all different diameters and you definitely shouldn't drop them like proper bumpers unless you want some broken plates and ruined floors!

    I didn't get to see the 20kg plate so I can't comment on that one.

    • hhuy837 on 12/02/2018 - 13:27
      +2

      the 20kg are the same as all the other "bumper" plates just heavier…

    • dimavs on 12/02/2018 - 15:09

      Rubber coated weight plates are named "bumper", so they can be safely dropped (comparing to just steel plates)

      • phocus on 12/02/2018 - 15:35
        +2

        They should not be named bumper. Cause Bumper plates are an entirely different product. Bumper plates the one ones used for Olympic lifts and made from large rubber disk with a steel hub in the middle.

        You can safely drop a real bumper plate on the ground without damaging the ground or the plate

      • androo on 12/02/2018 - 15:41

        There's a difference between rubber coated and bumper plates. If you check out most gym gear stores, they'll place them in different categories:

        http://www.gymdirect.com.au/shop/weights-bars-dumbbells/weig…

        A thin rubber coating isn't going to do anything except prevent scratching your floors.

        A bumper plate consists of a much larger amount of solid rubber, built around the weight plate.

        If the 20kg is a real bumper plate, it is a solid bargain! But if it's the same as the other plates (just rubber coated) then it's just an ok deal.

        • dimavs on 12/02/2018 - 16:45
          +1

          It's a quite a thick rubber there, and it's even more bargain if you wait for the sale price :-). They were selling those weigths last February, I've got those bumper plates end of march-april for $1.80 per kg. But managed to get only one 20kg plate for that price, so will get another one this year :-)

      That squat rack is pretty good for newcomers, I would skip the rest of those items. Newbies should get olympic grade barbell and plates if they are committed to getting stronger. I have a similar squat rack with a rated 400kg capacity but I'll defintely look for a power rack once my numbers get to your level.

      Have one from last year, love it. absolutely no issues. Lives outside undercover, no rust or damage yet.
      And the weights are a genuine bargain. Good luck finding the equivalent weights at the same per/kg cost, and even then you'd only be matching them against shitty cast iron ones.
      If it's the same bar as last time, it's 16kg and for me is absolutely fine for squats (bout a $39 EZcurl bar off eBay to go with it all).

      Highly recommend (will be down there to load up on more plates- last time there was a conga line of PTs and roid heads waiting for doors to open!

      The squat rack looks functional but the weights you will need for it are going to be expensive if you want to make serious gains. Just get a gym membership. There are plenty of budget gym options out there that have all the free weights you need that don't tie you to long term contracts.
