    OHP from rack vs clean from floor

    Has anyone else noticed that if they clean the bar from the floor prior to overhead presses rather than just lifting it out from the rack at chest height, you are able to press more weight / the same weight feels easier? I am trying to work out why on earth this would be the case for me - my...

    Gym floor too soft?

    My garage gym currently uses 20mm thick tatami rubber floor mats, much like the ones used in a Judo or BJJ class. I'm thinking they are too soft and I'm just lucky I haven't injured myself. I squat barefoot and am fine, but my mates wearing shoes have commented on it. Should I buy proper gym...

    Comp doesnt start till the bar hits the floor

    I'm not sure how many of you have heard this comment or understand what it means. Watching my brother compete in powerlifting in the early 1990's, he fully demonstrated it to me. In lifting, you have a sub total, just before the deadlift. No matter how far behind he was before the deadlift, he...

    How effective are flys when laying flat on the floor?

    I saw a guy on youtube doing some bench press and flys laying on the floor. This limits the range of motion a bit, are they still effective or is this a better way of doing them?
