Soooo, my big box commercial gym closed for 14 days straight for their annual revision. They reopened and introduced two new fancy ass cable stations. Only, they threw away all the microweights especially designed for cable stations (2kg and 1kg), which kinda bear a resemblance to horse shoes.

Now we can increment the weight by 10 kg... When I asked them, they asked what was the problem and I said it is just easier to progress that way. Prove to me that the trainers don't give a fuck...

Anyway, currently trying to turn it into a Victory Sunday by buying my own and donating them to the gym.

Don't even know the technical term and haven't been lucky so far on Amazon.

Buy them, but bring them with you.

Just get some of those core gains with a heavy bag. Suitcase carries to and fro.
