Question What is the exercise equipment?

Hello ladies. I'm forcing myself to get over my shyness to ask a question only this group can help me with.

We bought a new mattress which meant it was time to clear out items stored under the bed. Surely I'm not the only one with exercise equipment under the bed. But I may be the only one who pulls it out and can't even remember what it's for.

I found 2 bars of similar length. One, next to the weights, is my Danskin barbell. But the other one is a mystery. In the close-up, you'll see the other one has 3 holes at each end, and a pin device to put in one of the holes to hold something in place. I have weights for the Danskin barbell, but no other barbell weights. Any ideas what it's for?

I think they are both barbells.

Look here:

Oh, I think you're right. Thank you Terry. Apparently I have 2 barbells I can use with the Danskin weights. And now that they're out from under the bed, I need to start using them again!

i have a Danskin barbell and love it.

you put the plates on, then insert the pin "perpendicularly" into one of the 3 holes. there's 3 holes in case you want to put more plates. that section can hold maybe 3 plates on each end.

the other bar without the holes has a collar (the ring thingy). you can probably fit the Danskin plates on it and use the collar to secure it.

i'm able to use my Danskin plates on another curl bar made by a different manufacturer, but i have plates for that curl bar.

Have you been strength training lately, or not really much at all? If not much lately, do indeed get busy with those weights. You got this!

I love these kinds of questions! This one reminds me that I need to dig out my barbells too, now that I'm stronger. Onward and upward!

I've been doing some of the gentler workouts I found on Youtube. Jules at Improved Health is a favorite. But I definitely feel inspired to try the barbell again. Thanks for the support!
