    Cheapest microplates?

    I know, I know, but if I'm completely honest it's down to the fact that I am willing to spend $80 to not look really fucking silly at a public gym. :P

    Cheapest microplates?

    Ghetto as fuck, but I'll take it, lacking anything better :P In related news, I figured out that it was because I was doinitrong and just trying to lift with my arms with the rest of my body static. Henceforth resolving to skim Rippetoe's book before each session. @Timeah yeah, it was just...

    Cheapest microplates?

    So, this is embarrassing, but I've been unable to increase my OH press from 35kg since a month after I started lifting (so, stuck for the last month or so). I'm after some 0.75kg plates to fit a 2" bar. Any ideas?

    Is using machines regarded as lifting?

    Here's a newb's take: - Machines are not "lifting". - "Lifting" is a person acting directly upon a free weight. Anything involving cables and pulleys, or mechanical levers or what have you aren't what I'd call "weightlifting" or "lifting". - There's no legit superiority of lifting free...

    Bullet Proof Coffee

    Part of the spin they put on "Bulletproof/Upgraded Coffee" is that it's low in or free of mycotoxins and that makes it great for you and all other coffee is bollocks. In short, it's a load of shite, their material is riddled with pseudoscientific crap and as such I'd be ignoring anything that...

    Do You Feel Rushed When Someone Asks You How Many Sets You Have Left?

    Perhaps they just want to know whether they're better off waiting for you to finish or moving on to another exercise in the meantime. Assuming that they're not sounding pushy or impatient, of course.

    Cooking steak

    Thick (New York) cut, well-salted with large chunks of rock salt a couple hours beforehand and left to warm to room temp. Rinse and pat dry, brush oil on (and herbs if desired. Pepper alone lets the flavors shine on their own but there's something to be said for garlic/oregano/parsley flakes)...

    Do you keep a log?

    My AusBB thread is pretty much directly extracted from an email chain I've sent myself to keep track. Each workout I note what I lifted, along with any notes and what I feel I should progress to next time. I note any breakdown in form and whether sleep/diet/whatever may have contributed to...

    the what u saw at the gym TODAY thread

    Not such an issue with bench but I find I need that kind of time to rest in between squat sets to ensure I can complete the next without struggling. What's wrong with choosing to entertain yourself rather than just starting at nothing for five minutes?
