Holly has become my little gym buddy and coach during the pandemic and is the only person in our household (other than me) that uses our garage gym. It was starting to get a little dangerous having her bench press and squat with a PVC pipe and fractional plates wobbling around. So I have purchased a really cool 4ft technique Olympic bar for her which only weighs 2.5kg. Then between me Holly and Josh, we made and painted some full size wooden bumper plates that only weight a fraction over 1kg.
So now Holly can train properly without using excessive load which would do her more harm than good.

| A nice blue colour which Holly then wanted to add some Sharks (for our Shark gym). |

| Ta-da, the finished bumper / trainer plates. |
 |
| If you look closely, you can see the sharks on the plates. |

| And here is a happy Holly beasting out some bench press with her bar and weights, much safer. |
