    Ha, thanks Von. Crying aside, time is the true enemy when 5x5 gets heavy... That said, they do say good things come to those who wait...

    The PB Thread

    Ha, word to the mid section gainz... That and the need to fit suits and shirts for the daily grind. Despite my best efforts, I'm up for a new working wardrobe in the coming months too along with the PR's :p Was actually inspired by your log to give RTS principle a go for my lead lift each...

    The PB Thread

    Yeah mate, no worries. Started lifting 2 years ago at a relatively skinny fat ~84kg. Stronglifts 5x5 programme, starting with just the bar, which I progressed to 3x5 as the weight increased and 5x5 was no longer doable during my limited morning sessions. Gave 5/3/1 a run following that...

    Bench Press 100kg x 4 last week, and then 103kg x 3 this week. Both rep PB's. Nice to finally be working my way into 2 plate + territory with my bench. Having worked on 4 lifts with equal focus over the past 2 years, progress hasn't been rapid, but recent programming changes with a renewed...

    Gym Shoes Thread

    I picked up a pair of Adipowers from Eastbay a year or so ago. Really nice shoe. Less bulky than the Romeleos, and imo look better for it. Limited colour ways though if that's your thing. Use them for all my squat and press worksets. For the extra $$ spent, they more than make up for it in...

    Belt Preference?

    Can only speak for myself, but I just put it in context with what I pay for supplements etc. on an annual basis, and with that in mind, paying another $50-80 more for a tried and trusted brand that will last me for years of lifting seemed a no brainier.

    Belt Preference?

    To add, I have a 4" 10mm Inzer lever belt from Loaded Lifting and it's been fantastic. Likely to last a lifetime, unless I morph into a fat kunce.

    Belt Preference?

    Depends how serious you are about your lifting, but a quality leather 10-13mm, 4inch belt like an Inzer from Loaded Lifting will see you right for a good number of years.

    Pain from military press

    I've found that doing broomsticks/shoulder dislocates with a light band held at tension is great for improving shoulder mobility. Gives a stretch for both your chest and shoulders during the plane of motion from overhead to behind the back. Doing a few sets combined with some pause for stretch...

    2015 press competition

    I need to get some video of my pending double attempt in two weeks time... Latest achievement was 67.5 for 4 reps. That said, does anyone else suffer from imbalances when pressing? I often get caught short during maximal attempts, with my right arm slower to extend when approaching lockout...

    Where are you from & Where do you Train ?

    Sydney inner west for me... Squat rack at local Anytime Fitness does the job. That said, would be nice to train with some bros who are inspirationally stronger than I...

    SOFY Sales! New Gear Landed, massive restock!

    Just wondering how true the fit is on both the N1 shorts and the Iron Muscule Tank? Definitely going to jump on some gear (been meaning to for a while) and don't want to worry about the fuss of returns if I can help it. Cheers :cool:

    Thanks Mackie; Training solo doesn't lend itself to easily sharing the glory.. Wouldn't have thought it possible when I started at only 40kg 15 months ago.

    Beer beer and more beer..... Everything beer.

    Not wrong there.. Does help if trying to avoid smashing too many in a session.

    Little Creatures IPA is tasty if you're partial to a good IPA. Tuatara APA from little old NZ is probably one of the better brews I've downed of late.. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
