a new opinion in Sports about York Fitness Cast Iron Spinlock Barbell/Dumbell Set

When weight training, it is vitally important you choose the right Barbell and Dumbbell set at the right price. Quality of material matters, but for me it's more about the three bars and what configuration of indentation they have to give your hands grip. I don't like using gloves when exercising, so this is always my main criterion when entering the market and attempting to find the best set for me. Here we have the 'York Fitness Cast Iron Spinlock Barbell/Dumbell Set' which I bought for just under ?150.00 - a fantastic kit with a mass of interchangeable weights at the correct scale.

The set contains a large array of compatible weights, bars and spin-locks to tie them all together. The overall weight of the collection is around 50 kg, though the weight of the bars and spin-locks isn't specified:

'6x 0.5kg discs, 6x 1.25kg discs, 4x 2.5kg discs, 4x 5kg discs, 6x Spin-lock collars, 2x 14 inch chrome spin-lock bars for barbell exercises, 1x 60' one piece spinlock bar for barbell exercises'

This is a comprehensive collection. Because the weights are completely interchangeable - there are in fact 50 different combinations - the total weight you can accumulate onto any single bar far surpasses the maximum weight any normal guy could need. It depends on the type of exercise you are undertaking, for instance when bench pressing people can usually lift more weight than when working their bicep or tricep muscles. The array of different weight sized caters for most people, only serious weight trainers should consider a different product.

Types of exercise I find rewarding:

BARBELL
- Bench Press: works the upper, lower, inner and outer pectorals depending on incline and grip used.
- Military Press: works shoulders (I find standing whilst working this works best, helped by the bars grip).
- Bicep Curl: works arms in general, but mainly the bicep (standing is once again the preferred stance).
- Tricep Extension: requires a lower weight I find (best when seated on the edge of a bench).
- Row: lie length ways down a bench with head and arms over the edge, lift the barbell up to your chest and back down 10-12 times. This is a highly effective back exercise I find.
- Squats: the bar (being solid metal) requires an additional soft coating before resting on your shoulders, available from most suitable stores - I know Amazon stocks them.

DUMBBELL
- Bench press: when using the dumbbells it is more difficult to keep stable, you use different muscles in your arms, as well as your chest.
- Shoulder press: accesses the tricep muscles as well as the shoulders.
- Bicep curls: simple exercise, only do one arm at a time to counter-balance your back and stature.
- Tricep kick-backs: done with one knee resting on a bench, reaching out the dumbbell behind you with your back almost horizontal.

The cast-iron weights connect to the bars perfectly. They sit tightly against the metal, but not tight enough for the spin-locks not to be needed. The spin-locks however, are not great. They tend to slip off and have to be tightened every now and again to prevent the weights pushing them completely off and breaking someone's toes. This is the only disadvantage with the set in my opinion.

Overall I am really pleased with this set, it contains everything you could possible want, and can be used to exercise your whole upper body and thighs well. The grip on the bars gives a safe experience. In all I would recommend this set any novice weight trainer, but not to professionals.

Summary: A good weight set, all considered.

Turkey: 3 hurt as Syria troops fire over border on refugee camp

Updated at 10:27 a.m. ET

(AP) KILIS, Turkey - The bloody conflict in Syria spilled across two borders Monday, killing a cameraman in Lebanon and wounding at least five people in a refugee camp in Turkey as gunfire flew across the tense frontiers, authorities said.

The violence came as a U.N.-brokered peace plan all but collapsed and bolstered fears that the uprising could spark a broader conflagration by sucking in neighboring countries.

Ali Shaaban, a cameraman for the Al Jadeed television station, was filming in Lebanon's northern Wadi Khaled area when a bullet pierced his chest, Lebanese security officials said. The gunfire came from the nearby Syrian village of Armouta, the officials said.

Shaaban, who was born in 1980, died on the way to the hospital, the officials said on condition of anonymity in line with regulations.

His colleague, reporter Hussein Khreis, said the team heard heavy gunfire around them from all sides, "falling like rain." Shaaban was inside a car when he was struck, Khreis said.

"If you see the car you would think it was in a war zone," Khreis said on Al Jadeed TV. "It is completely destroyed from the bullets."

He said they waited for more than two hours for the army and some residents to come and pull them out to safety.

"I ask forgiveness from Ali's family because I couldn't do anything for him," he said, breaking into tears.

Earlier Monday, Syrian forces fired across the border into a refugee camp in Turkey, wounding at least five people, authorities said.

The Syrian soldiers were believed to be firing at rebels who tried to escape to the refugee camp after ambushing a military checkpoint, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, citing a network of sources on the ground.

Turkey shelters thousands of refugees who have fled Syria as President Bashar Assad tries to crush a revolt against his regime. The U.N. estimates some 9,000 people have been killed in Syria since March 2011, when the uprising began.

The Syrian revolt began with mostly peaceful protests against Assad's regime, a family dynasty that has ruled the country for four decades. But in the face of a relentless military assault on protests, the opposition has become increasingly militarized.

Now, the uprising resembles an armed insurgency, and there are fears the country is spiraling toward civil war. International envoy Kofi Annan brokered a cease-fire that was supposed to begin Tuesday, but the plan is in tatters.

Syrian troops were meant to pull out of population centers by Tuesday morning, but the government on Sunday introduced a new demand ? saying it cannot withdraw without written guarantees from opposition fighters that they will lay down their arms. Syria's main rebel group rejected the government's demands.

The Syrian opposition and Western leaders had been skeptical all along that Assad would live up to his commitment to a truce because he broke similar promises in the past and escalated attacks on opposition strongholds in the days leading up to the cease-fire deadline.

Turkey hosts some 24,000 Syrian refugees, including hundreds of army defectors, and has floated the idea of setting up a buffer zone inside Syria if the flow of displaced people across its border becomes overwhelming.

The two countries share a 566-mile border, and parts of southern Turkey near Syria are informal logistics bases for rebels, who collect food and other supplies in Turkey and smuggle them to comrades across the border.

According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the fighting along the Turkish border began before dawn Monday when rebel fighters attacked Syrian soldiers manning a checkpoint near the Turkish border, killing six soldiers.

Rami Abdul-Rahman, a spokesman for the Observatory, said the troops then kept firing as they pursued eight wounded rebels who escaped to the camp just across the border in Turkey, sending bullets whizzing across the frontier.

According to the Observatory, the shooting wounded five people in the camp, which is next to the Oncupinar border post near the town of Kilis in Gaziantep province.

The Observatory reported that two people later died of their injuries, but that could not be immediately confirmed.

The provincial governor, Yusuf Odabas, said five people were wounded: three Syrians, one Turkish translator and one Turkish policeman. The translator had entered the camp to try to help calm an anti-Assad protest, he said. The governor said Turkish military forces did not return fire.

Ankara, which has been among Assad's harshest critics, summoned the Syrian charge d'affaires in response to the shooting and called for an immediate halt to the gunfire.

Annan is scheduled to visit to one of the refugee camps in Hatay province, bordering Syria, on Tuesday afternoon, Turkey's Foreign Ministry said.

"Annan's one-hour visit to Hatay tomorrow is critical, he will see the situation himself," Naci Koru, Turkey's deputy foreign minister, said, according to state-run TRT television.

Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race halted by swimmer

Britain's historic Boat Race was dramatically disrupted Saturday when a wetsuit-clad protester swam across the River Thames, before Cambridge claimed a controversial victory over rivals Oxford.

Trenton Oldfield caused a half-hour hiatus in the race between England's two oldest universities, which is in now its 158th year, in a stunt that will raise security questions ahead of the Olympics and the queen's Diamond Jubilee.

After the race was restarted there was fresh chaos when the two crews clashed and one of Oxford's oars snapped off.

The team's desperate, abortive efforts to recover caused one of their rowers to collapse as they crossed the finish line, although Oxford boat club president Karl Hudspith later said he "is conscious and will hopefully be OK".

Hudspith blamed the protester for Oxford's defeat, saying in a Twitter message: "My team went through seven months of hell, this was the culmination of our careers and you took it from us."

As Oldfield was pulled out of the water by a lifeboat crew, the 35-year-old appeared to have a broad smile on his face. But he was arrested and was later charged with an offence under the Public Order Act, police said.

His protest will raise questions about security ahead of an eventful summer in the British capital.

While rowing events for the 2012 London Olympics starting in July will be held at a closed course in Windsor, west of the city, a flotilla marking the queen's 60 years on the throne is set to proceed down the Thames in June.

British media said Oldfield was an Australian activist who gave warning of his protest in an online statement titled: "Elitism leads to tyranny."

"I am swimming into the boats in the hope I can stop them from completing the race and proposing the return of surprise tactics," he apparently wrote.

The two boats were about eight minutes into the race, with Oxford about a third of a length ahead, when the man wearing a black wetsuit swam in front of the two boats, and was nearly hit by the oars of the Oxford crew.

Spectator Mike Emerson said he saw the man come through the trees on the south bank of the river and get into the water long before the boats came past.

"He started swimming, he knew what he was doing," the 60-year-old from Cambridge told AFP.

"He drifted down the river and then he waited near a pontoon until the boats came, and then he deliberately swam out toward the boats."

Umpire John Garrett halted the race after reserve umpire and former British Olympic rower Matthew Pinsent spotted what he thought was debris in the water, which then turned out to be a swimmer.

"We weren't sure what was going to happen, whether he was going to get out of the way in time and then it was quite clear he was just waiting for the boats to come across him, so I had to stop the race and restart," Garrett said.

The race restarted around half an hour later but seconds after that the crews clashed and one of the Oxford oars snapped off, leaving them trailing far behind by the end of the race.

There was further drama after the finish when Oxford crew member Alex Woods, 27, collapsed in the boat and had to receive medical attention.

Coach Sean Bowden said: "I guess you can only imagine the desperation that Alex must have been in with only six crew-mates left and that's probably how he ended up pushing himself beyond his limits."

The traditional post-race presentation ceremony was abandoned.

"I think it's hard to imagine a Boat Race that contained so much to talk about," Pinsent told the BBC.

Umpire Garrett stood by his decision to award the win to Cambridge, saying the rules stated that crews "have to abide by their accidents".

"In the immediate run-up to the clash I was warning Oxford. Cambridge were in the right position so I was content to let the race continue and the result stand," he said.

The last time the Boat Race was restarted was in 2001 when the crews clashed and one of them lost an oar.

Once just an event for undergraduates at Oxford and Cambridge, the Boat Race has become an increasingly international event, with a succession of top-class rowers from around the world eager to take part.
