700Mb iso. If you pull the trigger, there will probably be additional packages but to get an idea and see if you have any problematic hardware, the bootable cd will be fine (if a little slow booting).

What I've done with weight plate machines to microload is grab a 3-5lb dumbbell and fit it between the cable and the plate guide. I'm sure you can come up with a similar
solution.

I guess you're not familiar with the "New Years' Resolutioners" yet. :-)

It's like christmas shoppers in the weeks before christmas, a mad frenzy of activity and then it drops off afterwards.

Sandbag loads to Platform

50 reps/ ~18 mins with same load as last time (will be upping the weight) but it's a ball-buster as it is.

- Had to use chalk and re-grip the bar lots.
