    "Form"

    Nick, arching to reduce the ROM IS "refining the movement" if your goal is to lift more weight, which is what you are implying. Regurgitated or not, that is fact. Don't blame me for your lack of semantics, I'm not a mind reader. Yet even you realise I have not actually been training for "3...

    "Form"

    I would rather spend the time lifting and actually getting stronger, instead of perfecting an arch technique and reducing the range of movement - which is not getting stronger.

    "Effort"

    I didn't quit, I finished the set or went to failure.

    "Form"

    EVERYONE seems to have missed the whole point of the thread. Does this clear it up?: My bench press is less than 100kg, is that because my form is bad? No. It's because I need to train more and get stronger.

    "Form"

    How is that retarded?, that is spot on. That is exactly what happened to me. On the contrary, I believe it was good form that allowed me to set a new squat PB after a 12month layoff and only 2months prior training to ProRawOne. It's right here on film and in my training log.. YouTube -...

    "Form"

    ^ I was waiting for it Nick you do 20 rep squats EVERYDAY and see how long your back holds up for. I did it for 2 weeks solid. My injury came from overtraining and never letting it heal, nothing to do with my squatting form. And what has the beginner strength standard got to do with this...

    "Form"

    Kyle, I love Fitness First, it's great - new equipment, plenty of space to work, air conditioned, food and drinks right there, and plenty of flange to look at. I just get sick of seeing and hearing people who spend more time worrying about form then actually lifting. That's what the rant is about.

    "Form"

    I see PT's getting paid *a lot* of cash money on the gym floor and the clients have done SFA, seriously, NOTHING, for the whole hour. I don't think it's fair on the clients. And it's not one or the other, it's when you're starting off (working up from an empty bar) getting your form 1,000,000%...

    Yeah it's weird, see this thread: http://ausbb.com/strength-training-power-lifting/14284-how-big-small-gap-between-your-20rep-weight-1rm-weight.html Well that is also to say I sort of stopped training for a year and a bit to see if my back problem would fix itself.

    "Effort"

    Whilst going through some old training logs for content to use in another post, I came across this session on the 3-12-07. I was 19yo and weighed 58kg. The workout consisted of some military press, then 20 rep squats and lastly finished up with 20 rep deadlifts. YouTube - EFFORT Ghosty Squat...

    "Form"

    FOR F#$KS SAKE. Why are there people doing less than 100kg squats, bench presses and deadlifts spending more time analysing their "form" then actually lifting? IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE squat - put the weight on your back and sit down bench - press the weight deadlift - pick the weight up I...

    Power cleaning....a kid

    Yep. Seriously when was the last time a kid getting bullied who "went and told the teacher" made the bullying stop? How do so many adults (teachers/goody-goody parents) live in such a dream world? If anything, the political correctness that plagues todays' society just hurts these victimised...

    Hey, this is completey random, but you weren't by any chance the tall guy that was like a meter wide with some sort of jersey on with player name "MANNING" on the back walking through Toowong shops today were you? Seriously, probably one of the biggest human beings I have ever seen in real life.
