  4. What do you do if you hurt your back?

    I busted my back on my deadlift session last week, its not bad, but I wont be deadlifting for 2-3 weeks. I won't be squatting for a week or so either. Back injuries shouldn't be, but generally are, apart of powerlifting. What you do next, with your body and mind, will determine your return...

  10. GPC newsletter WTF.

    Got the GPC newsletter. First few lines read: So, from that, I get that Andy Hargreaves is, "subsequent to that", either a druggy, an anti druggy, a government employee covering his butt, a NSW source, an anti drug abuse and distribution advocate or non of the above. I also notice that GPC...
  11. Misdirected energy

    We've all seen some crazy weights been lifted by some very strong Olympic weightlifters; I'm referring to squatting here. You see a middleweight (75kg) weightlifter back squatting something like 290kg the way he just squatted 150 or 200kg. Great so where is this post heading? The point here...

    Lifting as we Age

    I seriously intend to be doing this as long as I'm alive. To me, lifting is a part of Healthy lifestyle, both physically and psychologically.
