    When to add HIIT/tabatha work?

    Looking to drop some fat for warmer months with as little impact on strength training as possible. Will be continuing with my 2 on 1 off compound weights routine. Looking to add in some HIIT and tabatha. Diet is the same, just a little less of the foods. My question is when would be best...

    Marathon not a sprint

    the what u saw at the gym TODAY thread

    ^ terrible. About a year or so ago i went to lift at planet fitness. They had no power racks and only one olly barbell. So i took it off the bench and started loading it up for some deadies. I think I was doing 3 plates for reps when the trainer comes up; Trainer; what do you think your doing...

    The off season

    What position are we looking at Rory? punter? I'm sure i remember reading an article about the NFL draft camp (not sure on correct name) but during testing all rookies performed bench for reps with 100kg, the lowest score was 10, and that was from a punter. I think the highest was around 40...

    Rippetoe vs PTC

    All with the barbell im guessing, so press, bench, dead, squat, row and curl. Wouldn't suprise me if he had bodyweight exercises like chin's or dips in their though

    Strength & Conditioning for footballers

    I like a part of this. In the juniors especially it's all about size, very little to do with skill. Also in league, size in juniors dictates field position. Give the small kid a run on the wing, the fat kid can be prop, little shifty guy in the halves in slim bloke on the wing, The biggest most...

    Rippetoe vs PTC

    Knowledge in this game is built on experience. When blokes with the experience of guys like this talk, I shut up, listen and do. Too train under any of the coaches mentioned would be an experience.

    Rippetoe vs PTC

    Silverback, in posting this article I was not saying that Rippetoe's program is 'the one and only'. I was simply stating the main points for most trainee's 'keep it simple; lift heavy, eat big and rest well'. There is no need to overcomplicate things when you are a rookie, bang for buck is what...

    Rippetoe vs PTC

    Hey guy's, I've just read an article that touches on a few threads posted and things said over time by PTC. I'm a big fan of Rippetoe and in my opinion he's from the same school of thought as PTC 'There aint not school like the old school' haha. Anyway the article sheds some insight on 'the...

    Wit and wisdom of Mark Rippetoe

    Love Rippetoe's shit. There are no shortcuts. The fact that a shortcut is important to you means that you are a pussy. Let me be clear here: if you'd rather take steroids than do your squats heavy and drink enough milk, then you are a ****ing Pussy. I have no time or patience for ****ing...

    Strength & Conditioning for footballers

    I too have seen NRL youth development squads in the gym with trainers and on their own (Dragon's, storm, knights etc). I am yet to see any of these athlets performing explosive lifts such as power cleans and very rarely seen squatting or deadlifting. When i have seen them squat it has been 1/4...

    Those special moments you always remember

    First time i MP'd a plate for 5, benched 2 plates for 5 and pulled 4 plates for a double. There is just something about making it to the next plate that makes it stand out as an acheivement. Next up bench 3 and pull 5 for singles, will be super stoked.

    thoughts?

    Im willing to bet the op isnt using a mixed grip, hence the weakness. Try using it next time (one hand supinated other pronated). Stops bar from rolling in hands, some chalk would be good also, if its still an issue. Posted via Mobile Device
