Is there a lighter straight bar for ultra beginners?
Hey guys, I just started following Rippetoe's 3x5 program a few weeks ago and have been pleased with it so far. I haven't made the gains that I was hoping to so far, but I honestly believe it's my fault for not eating enough. Anyway, I'd like to get my wife started on the same program as she's been doing a lot of walking and is trimming up nicely, but we all know that a good workout program is vital. I know she's not going to hit a gym, so I thought I could walk her through the program in our basement where I have more than enough equipment. Only problem is that the lightest bar I have is 45lbs, and that's just too heavy for her to start with. Does anyone sell something in the 10-15lb range? I've seen those foam covered bars at in the gym which start out pretty light, but I wasn't sure if there was anything that would take standard olympic plates without needing to be modified.
