Hey,
I usually workout at home but I went with a friend a couple of days ago to the gym and noticed something. At home I use a 2kg barbell which is lighter then I'd want but its what I'm stuck with for the moment. Anyway at home I'm benching around 45kg which seems very difficult but once I went to the gym I benched 60kg and it was a similar difficulty. The only reason I can think of is that the gym barbell weighs 20kg. Does the size of the barbell make that much of a difference? Just wanna know because if it does I may have to invest in a better barbell!
Thanks.
