This Is Why You Need
Two Olympic Barbell Sets...

by Joshua Tapp

Olympic barbell sets are a must have for your home gym. If you only have one barbell set, you'll have to keep moving it from the power rack to the floor depending on the exercises you've chosen for your weight lifting cycle.

This can take a lot of extra time and energy when you're working out. That's why I suggest you buy two barbell sets for your home gym.

You should always purchase the olympic weight lifting bars and olympic weights. These are much better quality than the standard weight lifting bars and will hold much more weight and last you a lot longer. A few good sets of olympic weight lifting bars and weights will last you a lifetime!

You need two Olympic Barbell Sets!

For example, let's say you're doing barbell deadlifts from the floor with around 400 pounds for your back depth exercise. Your next exercise after the barbell deadlifts is seated overhead barbell press for your shoulders. You'll only be using around 150 pounds for your seated overhead barbell press.

Now, you have to get the majority of the 400 pounds of weight off of the barbell and get it back into the power rack. You'll have to bend over multiple times to take all the weight off the barbell.

You'll be wasting a lot of energy just getting the weights off the barbell. And this is just to get ready for one exercise!

What if you have multiple exercises like this? Too much time and too much energy is wasted.

Once you have most of the weight off the barbell, you'll need to get the correct weight for your warm up set for overhead barbell press. Then you'll be loading the bar back up with more weight for your working set of overhead press. You don't need all that extra work before your shoulder exercise.

You're weight lifting efforts will suffer from the added effort of moving the olympic weights and the bar from the floor to the power rack.

Two Olympic Barbell Sets
The Improved Scenario...

Let's say you followed my advice and you now have two barbell sets. You can leave the loaded barbell with 400 pounds of weight on the floor. You don't need it for your next exercise, and you don't have to move the barbell back to the power rack.

You already have a second barbell in the power rack. You get it loaded with the correct weight for your warm up set of overhead press. You're then ready for the warm up set. No wasted energy in between sets.

The second barbell improves your weight lifting because you save all your energy for your actual weight lifting exercises and not for exchanging weights just to get the barbell back into the power rack.

Other Options

If you don't have the money for a second olympic barbell set, then you do have some options. When you're choosing your weight lifting exercises for your weightlifting program, you'll need to be conscious of the types of exercises you choose and whether you'll be using a barbell or dumbell for your exercises.

You can also make sure to not choose exercises that are done from the floor. Do rack deadlifts instead of deadlifts from the floor. These are the things you'll have to think about if you don't want to spend the money on an extra barbell set consisting of another olympic weight lifting bar and olympic weights.

It would be much easier, though, to just purchase the extra barbell set. Then you won't be designing your weight lifting program around the lack of equipment!

You want to design your weight lifting program around the exercises that you need to improve your body. You don't want to worry about choosing exercises that aren't the best for you just because you don't have that extra barbell set.

Trust me, I've went thru all of this before. I've spent so much energy changing weights. My weight lifting suffered. I finally decided to invest in a few more olympic weight lifting bars and olympic weights. Saved me lots of time and energy! And my body benefited.

Weight Set Recommendation

Olympic barbell sets have really become expensive over the past several years. I remember when you could buy a set for a little over $100. Now, they have tripled and even quadrupled in price due to rising steel prices. You've got to have them, though...

You can get barbell sets at a local store if they are available. I am not PERSONALLY selling the barbell sets at the link above. I do not sell equipment from this website. This page is advice from someone who works out at home regularly. If you'd rather give one barbell set a try, then do so.

You'll soon see what I mean about changing weights out, moving the barbell from the floor to the rack, and then back again. A few different barbells and extra weights will really decrease your workout time.

Totally Blown Away by the WLC System...


Hi Josh,

Greetings from Australia, mate. I received your WLC Program recently and have only just got to emailing you (reason being I took quite a while exploring the entire package!!!).

I have to admit that over the past years I've purchased many programs via the internet and I can say with complete honesty that I have *never, ever*, had the pleasure of receiving one such as yours!!!

I was totally blown away by everything, from the log books, the big beefy manual, right on through to all those fantastic calculators! It comes through that you really put your all into the package. I've seen all those programs which claim to 'lay it all out for you ... paint by numbers ... take you step-by-step', etc.but only one is deserving of these claims ... and it's yours.

I especially found the goal setting information to be very, very comprehensive and so well laid out. I've read goal setting books, articles, websites, etc. but never really applied any of it to my endeavours in the gym.

Your system will have me going after my dream body with a vengeance, as I will be commencing the program this coming Monday.

In previous years I was a chronic "routine/program hopper"; I'd spot yet another new system I thought I would follow and away I'd go ... for about 3 weeks if I was lucky!

Despite all that, during some years I'd build a little muscle, lose a little fat and start looking reasonable, then slack off. I have a well equipped home gym which includes everything you recommend.

I have always been good with my meal choices but the bottom line is I was never consistent with anything!!!!

I have a very strong feeling all that is about to end - pronto! I'm really looking forward to starting the program Monday 30th August, and totally looking forward to some *real results at last*.

Oh, by the way I am 56 years old and my long-term goal is to have an awesome physique at 60 in comparison to the average one I had at 30. Thank you once again for putting out such a terrific and very complete program - I will not have any hesitation in recommending it to everyone I know.

Cheers,
Gary McDonald
