    Fat man on a weight-loss kick.

    It's good to see people making an effort to improve themselves. I second getting Starting Strength, it's one of the most comprehensive books on barbell training. As for your cardio, you may want to consider cycling instead of running. Running can be hard on the knees, especially if you have bad...

    ProRaw......its official

    For my first (or first few) comp I'd want all nine lifts, if I had more experience I'd be fine with seven.

    Spritcha on Training

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us it was a very interesting read. Wow that is amazing progress, I was happy to squat 185 and pull 200 within 12 months of learning to squat, and at a higher bodyweight to boot. Had you ever done any strength training before this? EDIT: Quit describing...

    zyzz hahahahahah fuck,,

    This is correct, Rip himself has stated that he was a mediocre athlete at best. He never claimed to do anything more than get skinny kids stronger. But he has a hilarious writing style, tells it like it is, and wrote a very good book. The cult following is due guys on the internet gaining 10kg...

    Stopping Point

    Fair enough I'll keep that in mind. Did you ever compete as a powerlifter? Or are you just referring to not performing 1RM's in training?

    Question on gravity and muscular development

    The effect, if any would be completely negligible. Don't worry about these kinds of things, it's pointless. Spend more time squatting.

    If you have the time I know a lot of us 20-somethings would appreciate your thoughts on what we should do to ensure we can still be active when we're 50.

    zyzz hahahahahah fuck,,

    That would be smart, but Lyle was having a go a Rip on his own forum first. Don't think the SS forums would need a troll account anyway, the guys of that forum worship Rip.

    zyzz hahahahahah fuck,,

    Up until this point Rip would always send people to Lyle for nutrition advice, started with a dispute on how much muscle a novice could gain over a certain period of time: Zach Update Lyle McDonald hates on Rip... lyle mcdonalds did the same to glenn pendlay! Fuck You, Mark Last thread is...

    A completely useless spotter...

    Was it just me or did he tell her to sue? And this is why you set the pins are a proper height. And fix everything else that's wrong in that shitfest of a squat...

    Micro / fractional plates

    Generally you would use them for the press where it makes sense. No one uses them for the squat.

    Here's a pdf or dimensions: http://www.australianbarbellco.com/barbellsPublic/dms/Downloads/Brochures/WEIGHT-PLATE-DIMENSIONS/WEIGHT%20PLATE%20DIMENSIONS.pdf I think Oliver's right, about 6cm for a 25 and less for the rest. You can get calibrated plates and they have cheaper ones too...

    Race to 6 plate Deadlift

    If any of you guys are in Frankston or Mordialloc Big Mouth Burger sell a burger with about 800g of meat in it. Two beef patties, chicken breast, eggs, and bacon. I'm trying to get as close to 110kg as I can, 9 more to go. Lots of milk for me.

    Race to 6 plate Deadlift

    Well the original question was somewhat relevant and no one would have predicted that it would become a thread jacking. Even so it was informative, not random silly bullshit. Mods can always split/merge threads anyway.
