    Who Actually Lifts?

    Would be interesting to know how many of the members here actually lift weights?? By some of the responses to posts on here, it becomes apparent that some people do not have a clue about weight training. Do they still train? Or do we have people here that just come to the forum to kill some...

    Misdirected energy

    We've all seen some crazy weights been lifted by some very strong Olympic weightlifters; I'm referring to squatting here. You see a middleweight (75kg) weightlifter back squatting something like 290kg the way he just squatted 150 or 200kg. Great so where is this post heading? The point here...

    Are you certain of how the twin towers and building number 7 came down? Do you think this is as clear cut as the mainstream media would have us believe, or do you question the "evidence" provided?

    Forced reps, a misnomer?

    The first time I wrote on forced reps was here The “F” word! back in 2009. I see myself writing about this method yet again today. Has anyone ever pondered over the name of this method? "Forced reps", are they really forced reps, or are they more a reduced reps of sort. I say that assistance...

    Not another belt thread..

    So...there are hundreds of threads about which belt to buy, 10 or 13mm, single/double prong or lever etc on the internet and everyone has a different opinion; at the end of the day a hundred differing opinions are of little assistance. I'm interested in the opinion of cats on this forum who...

    Bench assistance

    I've got a terrible bench, what will make it better is benching more. I'm curious as to what you guys do as assistance to help bench more. I know Dips help, ive read that overhead work helps. Is there anything else I can do to help it?

    Plate under heels for assistance in pushing through heels

    What are your experiences and ideas re: putting plates under the heels during deadlifts With a tall person, it seems their long legs can make it more difficult to get the bar past the knees, in turn putting pressure towards the toes and balls of feet instead of the heels. This is the conclusion...
