    Where to get deadlifting socks from?

    Any long socks should do, if you want specific powerlifting ones Minh from Titan Australia delivered my belt on the same day I paid and you might be able to pop in. Otherwise if you order now from Underground Elite and pay extra for express shipping they might arrive in time.

    PA raw Nationals - Melbourne

    AFAIK it's not a chalk substitute. You put it on your thighs while deadlifting so there's less friction as the bar slides up your thigh. (I've never used it and I have no idea how much it helps.)

    Well, actually a study has shown that stronger makes are less likely to die from all causes including cancer. ;)

    PA raw Nationals - Melbourne

    Isn't the venue a weightlifting stadium? Surely talc doesn't nature any more mess than chalk? (I've never used it so I wouldn't know.)

    PA raw Nationals - Melbourne

    That's a shame, but I guess 14 or 15 is way too young to risk a knee injury.

    Beginners program

    ^My coach mentioned something about lactic acid not existing in the human body, it's instead something else that is a useful by-product? I rest as long as I need to complete the next set. Today between two sets I took three seconds, in the past I've taken 10 minutes. Average would be 4.

    I think that's a large problem with many studies done on strength training, they use whatever untrained male is hanging around the campus as a subject and so everything they do works to a degree because they aren't working with athletes. As far as I can tell the most recent journal articles...

    Damn, did that hit his leg? Can't find the 70's Big video but here's a couple of posts about it: Bill Starr Memorial Weightlifting Meet — 2010 2010 September 20

    Will he be competing at the raw nationals? Strong guy, would be good to see him lift.

    If you rack a clean too far back it's possible to press against your carotid arteries causing you to pass out. There's a video of this happening to the guy from 70s Big, I'll post it later.

    Cool thanks. Sad to hear about Dave. Hopefully he gets his shit together and doesn't have to rely on other people for money.

    Elbow Pain when Squatting

    I had a similar thing, I fixed my setup and kept my back tight and it went away. If you're squatting with bent wrists and the weight of the bar is on them that can also cause elbow pain.

    Indeed. More women should see this, end the "I'll get bulky" misconception.

    The VIPR.

    Lol the cheapest option is $200 and it weighs 4kg, if you want a 20kg one it costs $400.

    Was watching this on my phone between sets today, good motivation.

    Squat depth

    Thanks for all the comprehensive answers. Seems like there politics wherever you go, workplaces, universities, etc. Human nature I guess. A lot of the time I find it funny to sit back and laugh at it though. Not old enough to be bitter I guess lol.

    Squat depth

    Fair enough, and I guess without a billion feds it would keep the politics down. I never understood why pressing the weight is illegal, isn't it harder to press a weight than to jerk it?
