    The PB Thread

    Press PB today. Hit 90kg. I must say that the 1rm calculations are still way off for my press. With a 50kg 10rm in theory my 1rm is 71kg. Still a good result. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Jerzy Gregorek Showing You How To Do A Perfect Olympic Squat

    For the flexibility sometimes I think we over complicate what is required to be flexible. There is a good video by glen pens lay that covers improving flexibility for the squat and it involves 1 stretch, basically an ATG squat and use your elbows to push out your knees. If you can't get into the...

    2014 Federal Budget

    For most people the number in the budget are pretty meaningless as very few people have the right kind of reference point to be able to talk accurately about sums measured in the billions. Also there is more to running a country that schools and healthcare. They are important but you can...

    Lets Talk Meats

    Usual buy for me is a 3kg pack of basa fillets, 3kg of mince, 2.5kg lamb loin and 2.5kg rump steak. Which will usually last us about 2.5 Weeks. On occasion well pick up the preseason end roast beef from aldi or a pork shoulder. A good rule of thumb I've found is to try and get the thickest cut...

    Straight arm vs. bent arm lateral raises...

    I always used to do them with a slight natural bend in the arm. Similar to what you see when you let your arm hang loose. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Age question

    Outside of bodyweight stuff I wouldn't want to start them on anything remotely heavy until about 1-2 years after puberty hits On the stunted growth I believe in the study of stunted growth the cause was injury caused by lifting weight not the weight lifting itself. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Steroids slowly killing the gym-obsessed youth

    I always find these funny. Firstly that 24 deaths in NSW in the last 16 years while sad is hardly an out of control problem. Secondly androgens are a relatively low toxicity drug. But to address the moral issue. It's obviously really bad for people to take drugs to look better, yet it's...

    When does training for performance become detrimental to health

    Outside of injuries there are other risks as well. I remember reading that competitive cyclist had increased risk of testicular cancer compared to the average population. Also on the point of obesity I would say that can also apply to anyone who is completely jacked as well. Carrying an extra...

    When does training for performance become detrimental to health

    Just wanted to put this question out there. There are always a lot of people who say that athletes must be much healthier than the general population. Let's just take a look at four examples, Olympia level bodybuilder, international power lifter, Olympic gymnast and top level rugby player. With...

    Should childless people be taxed to help families?

    Taxes will never be truly fair because everyone has different views on what is fair. It's always been easier to go after people who have a higher capacity to pay. Now for people who think that the well off do nothing take this quote In 2007–08, the 16 per cent of taxpayers on more than $75,000...

    Shaving And You.

    I use a DE razor but more importantly use a proper shaving brush and soap, lather away and it makes shaving better for all types of razor. Much better than those foam in a can types. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    improving squats and deads 5x5 hitting wall

    If your really stuck try adding reps instead of weight. To do this go back to 3x5 squats at you current stuck weight. Then next squat session add a rep to do 3x6, then add a rep on the next session to get 3x7 etc adding a rep each session until you get to 3x10. Once you get to 3x10 successfully...

    What gym equipment do you wish your gym had?

    This is the gym at work which I mainly us for the Pilates classes they have. It did encourage me to setup the garage which is where I do most of my weight work now. Given the work gym weights area is setup in about the space of a double garage it's not to bad but would be infinitely better with...
