    PA lifters at ProRaw Rep Challenge

    There were a couple of PA lifters at the CAPO Southern States on Sunday. We were discussing ProRaw and they said they were going to compete at the RC. It seems a rep comp is not classed as a PL comp, so they are free to compete. Last year a PA lifter won a SM comp, so I guess its cool. We have...

    Should I bug Karen to compete in the PRORAW Rep Challenge?

    I think Karen would have a great shot at placing well in the PRORAW Rep Challenge. Only problem is that she isn't big on the idea. If you guys send some words of encouragement I can forward them to her and egg her on. Here she is with some nice PB's in the Bench and Squat that would break the...

    PTC Rep Challenge Comp

    Okay, a client of mine has been able to secure Oakley gear as a prize for another comp, with all proceeds going to our trip to the WPC Raw Worlds in September. The comp is quite a simple one and is aimed at the average gym lifter, not the competative powerlifter, although anyone that lifts...

    Whats the go with 20 rep squats?

    I have moved to try out 20rep squats in the last three sessions and I'm loving them, however I'm not sure if I'm doing them correctly as I have been trying to push out 2 to 3 reps in a breath but sometimes I can olnly manage 1 between breaths. Also should I just do the one set? my last squat...

    lower rep vs higher rep range?

    hey, lately ive been doing 10-12 reps, and lifting as heavy as i can for those reps. i was just wondering to put on size, is it better to do that style of hypertrophy training or is doing 3-6 reps with a very heavy weight better for size gains. any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Pullovers after 20 rep squat?

    I've been doing the 20 rep squat for 2 weeks. I started at 80kg x20 and I'm now at 85kg x20 (BW is 84kg) - with stupid me trying 90kg twice inbetween thinking that it was 85kg. :p Anyway, I notice that the old school 20 rep squat routine has light pullovers immediately afterwards and it says...

    Do you guys test your 1 rep maximum much?

    Do you test it to find out whats a good weight every now and again. To help you find your peak weight 70%-80% of max for lifts etc.
