    is powerlifting the new bodybuilding

    I suspected as much. It's been a long time since I've heard any mention of "powerbuilders." Since powerbuilding is the pursuit of being big and strong, it seems like a rather irrelevant title, for exactly the reason you just gave.

    is powerlifting the new bodybuilding

    You mean this book? No, it never occurred to me that I could open it up and read it. Three times, to make sure I understood it. And yes, of course I've read his clarification, and become all too familiar with YNDTP. It doesn't matter how skinny you are, 4L milk/day is only sensible advice...

    is powerlifting the new bodybuilding

    I never said there's such a thing as online powerlifting. There's an online lifting community, eg us right here, and in general that community pushes powerlifting-esque stuff on beginners as a one-size-fits-all solution. For about 2 years I read everything from Rippetoe. He has some good...

    The PB Thread

    I've gotten used to the fact that the only people who'll ever find my physique impressive are people who don't lift. I'm content to ride out relative strength, and if I gain any muscle in the process, it's an added bonus. Thanks.

    is powerlifting the new bodybuilding

    Online powerlifting seems to be taking over amongst noobs, mostly because Riptards keep telling them that they "need to build a strength base before doing hypertrophy" (lolwot?). People seem to be interested in looks and performance at about the same level that they have been since I was in high...

    100kg high bar widowmaker, with a crappy commercial gym bar and music that is not very effective.

    When the internet says you're approaching intermediate strength. lol

    the what u saw at the gym TODAY thread

    Tested out my uni's gym today. It was the middle of the day, so not a lot of people around, but of the ones who were there, I was actually quite impressed. There was a high ratio of girls lifting, and not just going through the motions but putting some serious effort in. One girl deadlifted...

    Program testers

    I'm not in condition to even do the novice level stuff right now, but I am currently working to (hopefully) get my lifts back up quick-smart. Assuming that what has worked for my squats will also work with deadlifts, I should be back up to about novice standards in a couple weeks. I'm certainly...

    The PB Thread

    Decided to try out the uni gym for free today, since SSG has moved, and if I'm going to travel as far as SSG's new location to train, I may as well go the extra mile and have somewhere I can train between classes. I'm highly likely to buy a membership there. At the uni gym, I did 20 reps of...

    it is Sunday. Tell us your Victory this week.

    In the science class, dealing with the pest kids was mostly achieved just by separating them. I made the whole class stay in at one point, and the leader of all disruption didn't seem to understand the punishment :/ In the English class, the main issues could be dealt with just by saying kids'...

    it is Sunday. Tell us your Victory this week.

    School teaching. Been teaching Y10 physics and Y11 poetry for the last month, with just a couple PT sessions squeezed in around the edges.

    it is Sunday. Tell us your Victory this week.

    Finished teaching prac on Friday, which means I can train properly again starting this week. On Saturday I did 20-rep squats and deadlifts with the weight I was using for 3x10 before prac.

    Full body

    I've recently moved back to full body. Not sure how long this will last. I've been doing semi-circuits; doing work sets for 1-2 exercises while doing warm up sets for another. For example, I might be doing 5x5 squats, 3x10 bench press and 1 set of weighted pull ups for every set of bench press...

    Tell us About Your First Meet

    My first meet...I discovered that powerlifting meets really aren't that big a deal to me. I spent way too long warming up for squats in overzealous anticipation. I tried to be psyched up for every lift. This meant that by the time I was deadlifting I was over it. Still won gold in my weight...
