    Advice on types of belts.

    Here's one to watch out for. I've had this less than a year, and it's coming undone. If they had just used an extra centimetre of webbing, it would have been OK, but the seam was right on the end of the webbing. Very annoying. ~$40 from Rebel Sport Westfield Parramatta.

    Straight Bar or EZ Curl ?

    The PB Thread

    I've been waiting ages to put something here! I managed a bench press of 105.5kg (that's weight of plates) this morning. It's only half a kg more than my previous best, which I got to once last year, and only managed to get back to (once) this January. But, for me, it's still a PB, so I'm...

    Place to buy caffeine online?

    I used caffeine pills once or twice when I was in high school, and had to stay up all night to get an assignment done on time. I did some calculations, and worked out that caffine is a lot cheaper in the form of instant coffee (cheap instant coffee, that is). I think that this is still the...

    Son, 16, ‘killed mum with dumbbell’

    About time the Government takes action and bans dumbells once and for all! @ Silverback - great minds, eh?;)

    Isn't sugar a good thing at this time?

    Red Bull and choline

    Hi folks I compared the ingredients in Red Bull bought from Asian shops (the stubby gold cans, made in Thailand) with the Red Bull sold in "mainstream" shops (thin blue can, made in Austria). They are almost identical, except that the Asian one has Choline (50mg) in it, and the other one...

    The PB Thread

    Finally got to 100kg squat in my 5x5 program. Not a lot for most of yous, but still a milestone for me :D

    Show us your Home Gym

    Here's my squat rack. A bunk bed frame and a trampoline frame, picked up from the side of the road, held together by scaffolding clips, bought from a bloke who collects rubbish and sells it. The pavers it's standing on were also from the side of the road. The bar is from a pawn shop; most of...

    Wake up Australia, we've all forgotten how to take a joke

    Damn - I missed these - and we shop at Aldi all the time (a fine Australian supermarket, indeed!)

    A little op to up your T?

    I like to be precise. The varicocoele is usually just in one side, so presumably heats up one ball :mad:;) (emoticons above represent a hot ball next to a cool one)

    A little op to up your T?

    Hi Folks I came across this on the net yesterday - something I'd never heard of before: http://www.doctoroz.com/blog/harry-fisch-md/hidden-testosterone-killer http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2013625/How-form-varicose-veins-make-men-depressed-infertile.html...

    Barbel squats = painful

    Go right down in weight - as in the Mehdi Starting Strength program - go down to a ridiculously low weight, and gradually go up each session. You can keep up your leg work - and your ego, if necessary - by doing heavy leg presses &/or dead-lifts, but with this squat routine, you'll learn to get...

    Beginner concerns re: Scale?

    Hi Hopper your 50kg weight loss proves you can rustle up the discipline when you really want to, but sticking to a good diet that you don't really like, forever, can get a bit tedious ... Here are a couple of things I do: 1) General rule for dinner - try to make your dinner a no-carbohydrate...

    Which machines are necessary in your workout routine?

    I stupidly already gave them my real number ... I've already checked it out. There are lots and lots of machines, many of which are of kinds I've never seen before (I haven't been in a gym for more than 10 years), so I'll probably have to ask about them, and look a bit like an idiot. The...
