    The weight that these blokes move. Look at the slo-mo at :35 and again at 1:35: The bar is absolutely STILL and he (quicker than the eye can detect) moves under the bar. Then plows the bar up from a dead stop in a front squat and then in a split squat. These dudes can standing vertical...

    Timed Deadlifts Challenge

    I thought it'd be fun to have a timed deadlift challenge. simply max reps in 10 minutes. pick a "level" and report how many reps you are able to get in the 10 minutes. then work ur ass off to get that number higher and beat yourself and fellow Ausbb members at your level. level 1 -0.75...

    How much time do you spend in the gym?

    3 questions - 1) How many days per week do you train? 2) How long are most of your sessions? 3) If different from the product of the two above, how many hours per week do you spend training in the gym?

    Why You Shouldn't Grind the Weight (srs)

    I like how this bloke advocates perfect reps every time and to avoid grinding the weight (ie training close to or at failure) because it greases improper motor patterns, trains you to stop at the sticky points, and does not help to increase your strength at all. He says train 70-80% of your...

    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...

(id done a set on the leg press jumped on the hammer for twenty reps, then the...

    Max's Challenge 2014

    Posting this up as I'm sure plenty of people here could do really well during this year's challenge. It's basically for people who aren't strangers to the gym, but are cruising along and with no real goals. It's a great motivator to really kick it up a notch and get some great results you've...
