I've just collected my first ever thing from the local Freecycle group. I've now got a couple of weights benches, a load of weights, a barbell and a barbell stand.
I've set it up in the living room to have a go (Mrs T not that impressed) and loaded 40lbs onto the barbell. Managed a pretty decent workout but I've lost a load of strength since I used to do this sort of stuff quite often!
