      Home / Todd's Blog / SHOULD I RETURN MY BARS?
      Aug 23, 2022

      SHOULD I RETURN MY BARS?

      SHOULD I RETURN MY BARS?

      WELL, I HAVE SOME NEW BARS.  I love 'em.  I'm clearly a lot faster.  The only problem I'm having is they cost me a lot.  So, I'm thinking about returning them, because...

      ... I'm not sure I can afford them.

      In particular, I got really used to weighing less than 160lbs.  

      Previously, it was a miracle to be under 165.

      But, the reason I'm thinking about keeping this bar is... 

      ... I remember when sub-170
      ... and sub-175
      ... and sub-180
      ... and, yes, sub-185

      ... was challenging.

      Truth is, I like my new bars.

      Truth is also, now that I'm home and the A race is behind me and I'm in my old haunts that produced the old bars...

      ... it's hard to hang onto.

      Like the squat bar.

      It's really dumbbells, but the old bar was 60lbs.  Then I ramped up to 60lbs per hand.  In fact, I purchased a new set to squat my weight.  80lbs per hand...

      ... might actually need a bar to go beyond that.

      A bar, like these, that I'll keep.

      The bar to get one of these super cool tech t's is pretty high too...

      ... ride your bike from San Clemente to Big Bear.

      Use this code, 22SRFnSMMT,  it will save you 20%, and will expire on 8/31.

      Only 10 spots left.

      I hope you can make it.
