    [Article] Are deadlifts necessary beyond powerlifting?

    Are you implying or suggesting that as one approaches near maximal effort, a loss of form is to be expected by default?

    I have no doubt that if we are to compare (not only) apples with apples, but the same individual apple with itself, then more likely than not, a difference in performance would be seen, be that athlete your average Mr. Joe, or Mr. Elite. That difference in performance would be restricted to...

    Work hard play hard right?!

    So basically you're made for the sport you've chosen, or the sport that was chosen for you by the state, as is the case in some countries. More nature than nurture so to speak. Regarding your first point; I'd say that because of the skills this potentially elite athlete is born with, his hard...

    Fully agree. At the end of the day we all have our own individuality; we respond differently to different external/internal stimuluses, and we manage our affairs differently. So it can only make sense to say "horses for courses".

    Can you still eat healthy on a low budget?

    Before I write anything, please take a look at Mohamed Makkawy http://www.greatestphysiques.com/mohamed-makkawy/ I apologise in advance if I'm writing or replying to the above question out of context. By "context" I'm referring to a country, a people, a culture, things of that nature. In...

    I liked your whole post, however I was particularly impressed with the way you've expressed your thoughts above. Thank you for that brother.

    Are you in any way insinuating that Ausbb forum is a "shitty" BB forum? Just curious to know where you stand here, and if that's what you think of Ausbb, then say so explicitly.

    Work hard play hard right?!

    Well I am disagreeing and I think you're talking nonsense without any foundation. I can name names of athletes who made it to the Olympic games, and when you wake up at 3:30am for a 4:00am session that lasts for 2 hours, then hit it again at 4:00pm for the second session of the day, your bed...

    I used to live with most of the best this country had to offer, and I disagree with your statement, unless of course it's your opinion, in which case you're entitled to it.

    No. No to pressing whilst seated. And no to fancy anything when the normal works just fine.

    Love trust and respect Rob, that's what makes a house a home my dear friend. I love seeing dads out with their sons doing things, it gives me a wonderful feeling (of completeness) on the inside. I wish you the best with your family mate, enjoy them the way they enjoy you. Brilliant stuff here...

    Rob, I'm not (and would not) underestimate what you're saying not even for a split second mate. Like you, I also have ...well, I'm surrounded by females at home (yes I'm blessed :)), I've got 5 daughters, the eldest 23 & a 1/2, and the youngest 3 & a 1/2. And my wife, makes 6! I wouldn't have a...

    I really enjoyed reading all of the above Champion, thank you. I agree re the PEDs, most often it's like hey man, I'm ready for university now because (ah ha yes?)..., mmm, well because I've done one year of high school and it's just too slow and boring, I just wanna jump into the deep end and...

    [Article] Are deadlifts necessary beyond powerlifting?

    Spart, you're so naturally strong it's not funny. You caught that nighty fiver so high it's ridiculous my man. I did pick up something that if worked on and fixed, you would surprise even yourself. It's your elbows Spart. Before you initiate the lift, your elbows need to be turned in. Elbows...

    [Article] Are deadlifts necessary beyond powerlifting?

    Spart, have you heard of Ashot Danielyan of Armenia? He was one of the top super heavy weightlifters, granted he was stripped of his bronze medal at the Sydney 2000 Olympics for Stanozol, but that's another story. The reason I'm mentioning him, is because your initial stance reminds me of his...

    [Article] Are deadlifts necessary beyond powerlifting?

    I'm looking forward to seeing that Champion. Thanks for sharing your experience here with us, I most certainly appreciate it. Power cleans are my favourite of all movements as you know. Hopefully I can post the same myself in the near future.

    Remember this thread which I started few days ago Spart? http://ausbb.com/showthread.php?t=31775 We can deliberate this all day long, with all of us trying to tell you what you're doing and what you ought to be doing instead. However now that I've read your side of the story, I'm convinced...
