    AUSBB Strength Record Board

    Markos, Are you going to maintain post number two and add the names as they come in? I'm a fair way off most except squat double bodyweight. I weigh about 76kg at the moment and am doing the 150kg PPP programme right now. If you're maintaining it then I'll weigh in on week 11 and take a...

    Stickys comp!

    You should definately enter Ben, you were awesome on the day. Didn't you add 10kg to your deadlift PPP. Even 180SX said he loved your last deadlift for the effort you put in. One of the inspirational lifts of the day. Go for it big guy. Gives us little blokes inspiration to compete...

    Scott, Awesome day mate, loved it! Thanks to everyone who pitched in. Mike for all the vids and Sticky for editing them and to 180SX for some form tips and suggestions. Like And_the_ugly said, only inspires me to go and hit my gym lifts even harder. Will be nice when I can bench over 80kg...

    Stretching

    I'm with you 100% on this one Markos. My bench warmup is obviously just down to the chest and all the way up so can't over extend that one. Squats I load 60kg and make sure I go all the way down into the hole and out again for about 5 reps. Deads I also start light with 60 odd and make sure I...

    Stretching

    No stretching at all. I warm up with light weights probably over extending the full ROM as much as possible, that's it. If I'm not going to work more than that then I don't stretch more than that. I want my muscles as tight as possible. Sometimes, like now, my shoulders feel a little sore...

    PTC version 2.0

    Makes sense, deadlifting in squat shoes is like doing a deficit dead. You've got something under your heels increasing your range of motion. I do them in cheap broken old trainers so what do I know. I don't get too caught up in gear, just lift in what I turn up in and always add weight. I'm...

    the what u saw at the gym TODAY thread

    Craze, I see the same thing all the time. What I've also started noticing lately for the first time, is that people are looking at me. Which is wierd because I'm just this chubby short 40 year old bloke. But I notice it most when I'm squatting and deadlifting, particularly squatting. I...

    2011 lifting goals

    Hi Guys, Well its almost the end of another year. Time to reflect on how you went against your 2010 goals and to be bold and set your 2011 goals. Go on record and tell the forum what you're going to achieve next year. We can check back this time in 2011 and see how we all went against our...

    Testosterone 10.8

    Call him! Get them added ASAP. Pretty useless without them. I know my T level is 17 but I don't know the rest so can't start a course to get it increased. I have to go back and request a whole new set of bloodwork with all the required checks before I can start actioning it. Do it now, do...

    the what u saw at the gym TODAY thread

    At my commercial gym, the fixed weight bars max out at 35kg so if you want to curl more you've got to get one of the olympic bars and load it up or the single ezycurl bar thats available. A lot of guys opt for the squat rack instead of the bench press. Either way they need to take a bar from a...

    Bench Press: Avoiding Shoulder Injuries

    Hang on, is Andy lifting or is it Tim and some other guy? And what time did the first train leave the station and which direction was it going and how fast? Forget it, my brain hurts. Less thinking, more lifting... Cheers, Mike
