    NOOSA - Wanker capital of the World?

    The Gold Coast (100k South of Brisbane) was the premier destination of the 70s and 80s. Then it developed a reputation of being too overcrowded and a bit too Las Vegas. Then in the 90s people started going to the Sunshine Coast (100k North of Brisbane). Somewhere during the 2000s Noosa eclipsed...

    The Matrix training system by Dr Ron Laura

    I remember this being promoted in the Bodybuilding Mags of the late 80s and early 90s. I wasn't sold on it and only tried it once or twice but I did by the Book, just incase it was some great innovation (back late 80s I thinks). It did fade into obscurity pretty quickly though lol.

    [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...

    It's not about your feelings, so stop worrying about it

    My training as an Olympic weightlifter back in the 80s, was based on the Eastern Bloc, namely the Soviets and the Bulgarians. Training was methodical, with everything planned one year in advance. There were times when I felt very strong, and capable of lifting more than a particular daily...

    How CrossFit has changed from 2009-present: Shoes to food to the muscle-up

    Gymnastics leotards haven’t evolved since the 1980s, and neither have gymnasts’ hairstyles—tied back tightly, wrapped in a scrunchie, and finished off with head full of metal “gymnastics clips.” The same cannot be said of CrossFit: Our culture, the clothes we wear, the food we eat, and our...

    Trapped between the "Baby Boomers" and "Generation Y" is a special generation ... a generation we call "Children of the Eighties." If you can identify with most of the 15 points below, chances are you are definitely one of them ... 1. You owned a *real* Rubik's cube. 2. One word: Izod. 3...
