    robert wilks and PA?

    Well, PA is out of the IPF now. Who's stepping up to take their place? They have to be drug-tested, and to have more members than I could fit in my garage.

    Stimulate or Annihilate?

    60-80% of 1RM, and 60-80% of HRmax. Strength, cardio, same thing. "Challenging but doesn't smash you."

    Stimulate or Annihilate?

    But people don't have the basics. See, you say, "find a way that works and suits your mindset," and I hear the unspoken addition, "- once you've dealt with the basics." But Johnny Curlbro and Jane Cardiobunny don't hear that unspoken bit, so they read the first bit as "just do whatever I feel...

    Stimulate or Annihilate?

    Because training is voluntary and there are no widely-agreed metrics of success, this is true. Across the fitness world, there is no system. But I think of it this way: if primary and secondary school were not compulsory, what would education look like? And how many adults would have even...

    interesting Sydney Morning Herald artcle on top PA powerlifter

    Looking after his niece, putting himself in the shed so he can do so, cooking for the family. Definitely sounds like a very decent man. Reading his coach's comments reminds me of something my much-more experienced lifting friend said: "Sometimes a world-class coach is just an ordinary coach...

    Brisbane teenager in intensive care after becoming trapped under gym equipment

    The best protection for beginners is instruction. For example, if all the benches had safeties, people would still have to know how to set them up at the right height, right? "Oh but that's easy, only an idiot can't figure that out." Yes, and only an idiot tries benching a weight twice as much...

    Brisbane teenager in intensive care after becoming trapped under gym equipment

    If he were 25 I'd agree. But how many of us were smart at 15?

    The pull. I've never really had a grip problem, my biggest deadlift - 222.5 in January - was meant to be a triple, my grip failed on the third so I only got a double. That was double-overhand, no straps of course, just a Pendlay bar and chalk. On the wait-pullup challenge, I think most...

    Yes. I also like Dan John's idea: hang for thirty seconds, do a pullup, hang for thirty seconds, do a pullup... how many pullups you can do now really tells you something. I did... one.

    New farmer's walk handles for the gym. In my gym, we run the Starting Strength novice linear progression for noobs. This, as commonly done, has a couple of problems. The first issue is shoulders. From what I've observed lots of SS coaches and their clients end up with shoulder problems. A...

    Pauline goes full Burqa

    You're right, only Pauline Hanson. Convicted of fraud, remember, though some commie judge quashed it. It's Queensland, though, where brown paper bags are not only used for Hanson's dim sims.

    [Article] Imperfection is just perfect

    That would require the journalist to get up from their desk and go outside and actually investigate things and ask people questions. Journalists don't do that much nowadays.

    Power lifting Feds

    Yep, my lifters go, and none of them are going to podium, and nobody cares. At one meet, my guy Aron opens at the top of the flight with 160. The last guys are going up, and Aron chalks and belts up to go do 170. Last guy in the flight goes up, opens with 300. Aron turns to me and says, "Kyle...

    Eleonora dobrinina is the russian born bodybuilding phenomena known for being the mos

    Probably. But I just don't care. There are too many people out there keen to get stronger and improve their lives for me to be bothered with the half-arsed ones with delicate egos.
