    [Article] Are deadlifts necessary beyond powerlifting?

    My humble view is that deadlifts are overrated as an exercise, beyond their importance to powerlifting. I tend to agree with this article https://www.t-nation.com/training/the-deadlift-who-needs-it I also say this despite that lift being probably my best lift of the three powerlifts. as a...

    Hyper Sets - do you do 'em?

    I'm hearing hyper sets being thrown about at the gym lately but I don't believe anyone is actually executing them properly (can't rely on what I see at the commy gym I go to lol). I am under the impression this simply means max effort work sets, such as jokers in a 5/3/1 routine. Is that...

    "Effort"

    Whilst going through some old training logs for content to use in another post, I came across this session on the 3-12-07. I was 19yo and weighed 58kg. The workout consisted of some military press, then 20 rep squats and lastly finished up with 20 rep deadlifts. YouTube - EFFORT Ghosty Squat...

    Max Effort training/method

    Yes I dare mention it! lol I thought seeing as though Markos posted the thread on speed work/dynamic effort method of training, I might aswell post a thread about Max effort training/method. As speed work, Max effort work is widely used within PowerSports in some form or another - here is a...

    Speed or Dynamic effort training

    I thought I would start a thread on speed or dynamic effort training, but before I start, I want to clear up a couple of things. There are a couple of weak individuals among us, who are light years behind the strength curve of a normal lifter with a similar ammount of training years. They post...

    Effort training

    Tonight at PTC I witnessed one of the best sessions ever. I had 7 lifters so driven to hit PB's that they pulled for 3 hours. One guy powercleaned for 2.5 hours in an effort to clean 110kg. The effort he put in tonight will bring rewards further down the track. Alen doesnt get annoyed, he just...
