    What are the best brands of protein?

    Back in the 80s we used to mix our protein powders with juices, mainly apple juice....taste is awesome and the sweetness just right. So my go to juice for the unsweetened/unflavoured protein powder today is apple juice, and for variety, I could use mango, apricot, grape, or whatever I'm in the...

    Trump - Republican Nominee (President)

    Words are cheap. If serious, then take it to court and prove your case against the man whom you label as "not fit to lead the US."

    [Article] Are deadlifts necessary beyond powerlifting?

    For me at least, I'd use the term preferable instead of necessary.

    "Lee Priest Mr.Olympia 2002"

    Had Lee been an Olympic weightlifter, he would have been an Olympic Champion, a World Champion, and a World record holder; he has all the qualities of a true champion, steroids or not. Furthermore, had Lee been a Yankee or a European instead of an Aussie, he would have been a multiple Mr...

    Trump - Republican Nominee (President)

    Neither the north nor the south will make a move before either is given the green light by their supportive super power. So it's a matter of who wants to make the first move (using their pawn). The way Trump is behaving, I'd say south Korea (i.e. the US) would make the first move, but of course...

    showdownhero's IF LCHF Bulletproof Log

    :D You're a wonderful young man, bringing a smile to my face is appreciated. The reason I won't make a comment is because I've never been a powerlifter. So to say anything would simply be out of place for me, not to mention the arrogance, as there are more than one person on this forum...

    showdownhero's IF LCHF Bulletproof Log

    I won't make a comment on your deadlifting form because I do not do deadlifts. But I can see that you're one strong young man there shifting these sort of weight off the floor. Well done mate.

    Good post Big R. They've got plenty of variety to choose from there. Thanks mate.

    Release the tension in your hamstrings to relieve the pain from your lower back

    I paid $18 for mine in 2015 (pictured in the OP) and am very pleased with it. You want it to be hard. I'm sure you can purchase similar for under $5, but you need to make sure they're hard and do the job for you...

    Side deltoids and trapezius with more of what you need and less of what you don't...

    Wide shoulders with a matching and balanced set of trapezius muscles is just what the doctor ordered. I like performing the wide grip barbell upright rows, as it really gives me a magnificent and simultaneous pump in both my side deltoids and trapezius muscles, however my left shoulder is not in...

    Release the tension in your hamstrings to relieve the pain from your lower back

    Here are two more for you: a) Back extensions b) Planks The plank does both your posterior and anterior simultaneously and very differently from all other exercises already mentioned. Here we're not relying on muscle contraction and flexion in the usual sense, but we're activating a ton of...

    Release the tension in your hamstrings to relieve the pain from your lower back

    Bulking foods

    I've said this before (and I'll repeat it yet again). It's not about bulking food or even calories, but rather the speed of your metabolism instead. At least that's how it was for me when I was consuming between 13,500 to 15,000 calories a day..., and not gaining any weight. Granted what I've...

    AusBB Military Press challenge

    Thanks for that contribution. I didn't say anything about "clean and press", but rather power clean and press. In any event, you're very welcome to disagree with everything I write. But don't dictate to me what I should write and/or how I ought to express my opinion. I hope that's clear...

    AusBB Military Press challenge

    Bit of analysis on Klokov's power clean and press, and what you can take from it, as there is one very significant point to learn from this in my opinion. First the numbers: I'd say Klokov weighs around the 110kg easy here, as weightifters always train about 5kg over their competitive...

    Post your sticking points

    When you say you've tried everything, are you referring to exercises or the method applied to performing these exercises? Furthermore, have you given power shrugs a go? Here we're delving more into the nervous system, awaking those nerve endings within your trapezius muscles like never before...

    AusBB Military Press challenge

    100% disagree with Mark Rippetoe on this particular subject. He's instructing the lifter to use a lot of body movement, he says; "we're going to use a horizontal hip movement with locked knees, to generate a little bounce out of the bottom." This goes against everything I've been taught as a...

    Cumulative muscle fatigue leading to muscle growth

    Aim: 100 total reps done over a series of sets with the final sets requiring maximum effort. Maximum effort leads to maximum muscle recruitment. How does this work? Performing high reps with a lighter load close to muscular exhaustion will add size to your muscles. This is made possible due...
