    Classic Raw World Championships. IPF. On now.

    I can't see that working for low-bar, elbows would be wrenched out, bars would roll down the more horizontal back, and so on. As well, PL uses iron plates, which means a dumped bar will often get wrecked. Which is better than a lifter being wrecked, of course, but think of how many squats are...

    Classic Raw World Championships. IPF. On now.

    Cage would have to be bolted down, and/or very heavy. Regular power rack has 300+ dumped on it and it's tipping over. If you set the safeties just a few inches below the lowest point of the bar for that lifter, the safeties would obscure the view of depth on the bigger lifters. Unfortunately...

    There are different feds, so yes there are different records for stands and monos. But the stand-using feds (all associated with IPF) are drug-tested, the monolift-using feds are not. So that is a more significant difference in numbers than stands vs monos.

    Not loving the insufficient spotters though. Would be hard to get for, what is it? 8 days or something. But still.

    Which is the most 'healthy'

    You have been thinking about all this for some months on this forum, G-man. I think you should do something.

    Not any more! And especially not once Scotland and NI go.

    Russian athletes remain banned from competition including Olympics

    The response from Western lifters has been interesting. They imagine that if you take away the drugs, Aussies and yanks and so on would actually win. They seem to think that's the only difference.

    Markos said it best, "I can't wait for 2020 to find out who wins this year."

    Trump - Republican Nominee (President)

    This sort of thing would be less of an issue if we were talking about training.

    Forum

    Discussion. Question is, how much of the discussion is about the supposed topic of the forum. That, and do people confuse "discussion" with blokes sitting around drinking beer and giving each-other shit. That's fun, but it's not discussion.

    Come visit, OBee. Or depending where you are, one of the PTCs could be a better choice.

    Would you allow this to be preformed on your newborn??

    As I tell my clients: I always suggest following the advice of a medical professional. Chiropractors, osteopaths and naturopaths don't count.

    There is a thing called google. Use it. I'm not responsible for your being so lazy you'll only search articles on things that agree with your worldview.

    I was looking these guys up for a discussion on bb.com. As trainers we get a lot of time wasters, I mean we want to help everyone but some people are beyond help. So the discussion was, how do you filter them out? One way is in your advertising. I was trying to say, if you're not careful you end...

    Purchasing weight plates for home gym.

    Assuming new... the cheaper one is usually 32mm in diameter instead of 28mm, and has either very soft knurling and chrome (that does chip off over the years) or cheese grater knurling. It's also a less whippy steel, so a bit rough to use for the quick lifts, and more likely to permanently bend...

    Any tips for book on masters training

    Older lifters have an advantage over younger lifters, as shown by the OP: we will actually ask for advice, and maybe even follow it.

    Purchasing weight plates for home gym.

    Markos of PTC, his advice years ago was, go for a good barbell, save money on weight plates. And I agree. So don't get the cheapest bar - trust me, you always end up regretting it. But also consider the kind of rack you've got and its hooks and safeties, if they're just metal then they'll...

    Purchasing weight plates for home gym.

    Usually not needed. If you add 20s then you can take up to 40kg jumps through your warmups; if 25s, it's 50kg jumps. How much would you have to be lifting to take 50kg jumps through your warmups? The main use of 25s is when you're lifting so much that it's hard to fit enough 20s on the bar. If...
