    Have a look at my PPL Program. Then post a good comment.

    A change of program is needed at this in my lifting shenanigans to freshen things up in the gym. I like the PPL program because I want to reduce volume per session but increase frequency and intensity as I embark on a lean bulk over the next few months. I have done my best to achieve a 2:1 pull...

    Spartacus v gerry 2015 powerlifting comp

    I have challenged Gerry to a powerlifting comp. While I have joined GPC, I think the rules will be fair. First, drugs. As I will also be a member of either Australian weightlifting or athletics, I will also be subject to random drug testing. No advantage there. Second, as we both believe in...

    Bench press vs pendlay rows

    A bloke I was speaking to the other day reckoned that you should be to row (bent over rows or pen daly row) approximately as much as you can bench, so that your muscles are 'balanced' - thoughts on this? Correct, rubbish, bro science?

    Unracking the Bench Press

    Heard a P.T. teaching a noob the three big lifts. I heard him say never unrack the bar yourself when Benching as its bad for your shoulders. He told him to always get a spotter to lift the bar off/up to the start point. Is unracking the bar yourself when Benching bad for your shoulders?

    Bench press specs

    Does anyone have the specs for a bench press, specifically the regulation height to the bottom of the bench and padding thickness? Also bench pad width. In comps we are given Elieko gear to use so I assume that is the standard height and width bench. If anyone has a diagram or pdf of an...

    After doing my 4 sets of squats, I do 3x10 on the incline leg press, but do the legs individually, not both at same time. I don't see anyone else at the gym doing this, I feel I can train both legs equally as hard as each other, without one leg taking more load than the other. Interested to...
