    is powerlifting the new bodybuilding

    There are numerous top level powerlifters in Australia who have been successful bodybuilders also, Scott Hill, Nathan Wallace, Cam Mackenzie, Matt Middleton, Josh Tait to just name a few. The two sports are mutually beneficial to a degree IMO.

    They were virtually synonymous up until the 70s IMO, maybe even the 80s.

    New Leverage Bench Press - anyone bought one?

    Honestly from a bb'ing perspective (which was how I trained before I got into PL) if you've got a bar and DBs then there's really not much more you need in terms of chest development. And if you've always had problems with the smith machine then you'll end up having the same issues here as the...

    No, just lycra leotards... and some are drugged to the eyeballs with bleeding noses and burst blood vessels in their eyes.

    New Leverage Bench Press - anyone bought one?

    Those things have never been great for your shoulders. Stick to free-weights.

    is powerlifting the new bodybuilding

    Who? And I doubt it. Even if it were to reach olympic sports status it would still be insignificant in the public eye in comparison to bodybuilding. It'd just be a different version of weightlifting really.

    I agree. My Oceania bench record doesn't mean shit to me until I have the Aussie record.

    #depthprivilege

    Just a little satirical page suggesting that full depth squatters in powerlifting are committing crimes of prejudice against those who can't or won't squat to full depth in competition. Though many don't seem to understand the concept of satire, and well others don't appreciate that they are...

    Shawna Mendleson (Scott's sister) got quite butthurt at the aspersions cast upon Hoff and the SPF. It was hilarious.

    Growth Methods?

    I think the best method for growth is a combination of all of those that have already been mentioned and this is what I have always employed. Volume, intensity, progression, variation (high and low reps), food, recovery. Get lots of all of these and train like a motherfucker and you're pretty...

    Growth Methods?

    I may be exaggerating but the actual amount of on-topic posts in this thread were in the minority.

    Growth Methods?

    Sweet fucking shit what is wrong with some of you guys? How do you always turn a simple thread into a little bitch fight? I'm tempted to delete all the bullshit posts but I'm sure there would only be a single page of discussion left.

    Bodybuilding News

    The IPF took over from the XPC (I think) after a couple of piss poor events by the XPC and in the process signed the deal for exclusivity. The Arnold is a sports expo so I hardly think PL is the only tested sport, just the only one tested out of the PL/BB/SM genre. Its due to the fact the...
