I'd pay for it, personally. Want it yesterday!
Can't wait for that bench program, cos my bench press stinks, and my mates won't listen to me to train properly until I bench more than they do
(all my other lifts flatten theirs).
I'm starting PPP next week, after I'm done with testing my 1RMs this week.

How likely is it to be able to keep doing 20+kg to your deadlift every cycle?
I assume at 250-260kg you'll have to start thinking about only progressing 10kg at a time.
Im doing 240 now, my previous pb was 220kg. at the end of this cycle ill see how i feel, im 2 weeks in and going strong. i'd love to be pulling 6 plates in 20ish weeks but i know all about diminishing returns
If i do 260kg by the end of this year then ill be doing 300kg by the end of 2011
It would be pretty rare for a guy to be pulling 300kg with only 2.5 years of actual training, my gym owner reckons he took 10 years to reach 300kg and he has the best pull that i know of in Australia (372.5)
I can barely imagine myself in 10 years time lol

The stronger you get, the smaller the jumps. I think once your pulling over 250kg, a 10kg increase every 11 weeks is special, at that rate, you could pull 290kg in a year.
Very, very few people will ever pull 290kg raw or equipped. I'd even settle for 5kg jumps to be honest.
As far as selling the bench program goes, I've decided to turn PTC into a charity, I'm tired of it being a gym.
Send me your address amac38, then go wait by the mailbox, I'll send it to you I promise.
While the program is written and ready to be tested, I cant with a clear conscience release it without being tested, even if it will only cost $20.
I'd also rather test it in house. I like to see how the lifter goes with my own eyes.
I'm not much of a cowboy with things like this, one f u c k up and I can do permanent damage to PTC brand.
I'll actually be able to tell within 3 weeks of testing, 6 sessions, testing will start in 2 weeks today.
What I want is squat Monday, bench Wednesday, deadlift Friday and bench Saturday.
This is ideal, obviously variations can be done, but I want it tested correctly.
Max, Alen, Dim, Dave and Nick will be the original guinea pigs.
They bench
105kg@75
120kg@85
100kg@71
107.5kg@102
150kg@110
I'll see if Nina and Annie want to try it.

In regards to Trofius' lifts, here is a constructive observation.
He MP 65kg and only increases that to 75kg via a PP.
Because of his weakness through his lower body and core, he cant transfer power through his body. This is what will lead to an injury.He cant clean what he PP, he obviously takes it from the rack.
I wrote a good piece on that in my last newsletter actually
Most of the strong guys I train move an extra 30kg from PP to MP.
Its not just squats he needs to work on, its his entire posterior chain.
Not so much for balance, mainly for health in the long run.
Also, lets not assume that he is not trying to correct the situation either.

Firstly sorry that Marcos' thread has focused on me I have replied to marcos' accurate comments in my journal, as a more appropriate place.
NOobs there are recent pics in the members pics page.
NIck , I know I know, i know...
I only made the comment about the bench program, As I think I am getting to a point were gains are dropping off, also that I am comfortable benching and could offer some feed back on it. I never just wanted it for shits and giggles.
I understand your desire to keep it inhouse, and a watchfull eye, is worth so much more than simple feed back.

Billy did 360kg @ 110kg and 365kg @ 125kg. They are the biggest deadlifts ever in CAPO.
Adam Coe did 355kg @ 100kg.
Over in PA they have nothing close.
My brother deadlifted 300kg with only a belt @ 99kg in 1991.
In competition he never had to pull more than 265kg, he only ever pulled what he needed to win. He held the Australian Drug Free record for awhile, and he did it raw.

yeah that would be billy from elite.. hes pretty huge. he owns elite.
i trained at elite for a couple weeks before powersports opened up. if powersports wasnt open id train there. there trainers there most of them lift so they actually look liek they know what they talking about. unlike most pts who have never done much lifting.

ill have to tell Billy to rub of the "aus record" next to his lift on the elite physique records board then hehehe
He tried to get 375 up back in 2008, but couldnt lock it out
Elite is having a "Battle of the Gyms" powerlifting event on the june 10th i think.
Rugby88
I have Ep1c Calendar kunce
It would be a aussie record in his weight div mate - I think he was in the 110's/120's where as Derek boyer in like 140-140+ div - they are just chasing the biggest ever deadlift in Australia - not counting div's.
Billy is one of the best ever lifters in Australia - very impressive guy!
