Re: bigger bar

[Guest guest]

Something else just occurred to me, we have always measured 's bar

to his shoulders from heel to heel, and not bolt to bolt. This would

make a considerable difference in him needing a bar before the age of 2,

because the bar is quite a lot wider, at least an inch or two?

, thanks for forwarding that note from !

I too, adjust the bar so that the insides of the heals equal the

outside width of his shoulders. Currently, the bar is adjusted so

that the measurement from the inside of each heel is 10 " across,

however, when I measured from bolt to bolt, it measured about 14½ " .

So, even though this adjustable bar goes from 9 " to 15 " , it is a

little misleading. I would imagine that I only have about a ½ " left

of room to expand the bar.

So far I have written to Dr. Pirani but have not received a response

from him. I think that I will go ahead and email now along

with the response from Fillauer (that sent to the group) and

see if she has any ideas.

Thanks again,

Daiga
