Advantages of raised-heel squatting are very well discussed
Not a lot is said about long term usage and disadvantages, or the ideal usage circumstances
Please share your findings
Aside from obvious benefits, through med-long term use I am finding

Wondering how you guys have found touch and go benching as a tool in bringing up your strict comp bench? Versus training paused exclusively
Do you find the loss in carryover gets in the way of its value?
Or simply a good way to build the base of a bigger comp bench?
I've trained paused...
Alright, so it's pretty well common knowledge the new stim 'AMP' is rather sufficient in getting you zoned in.
Bulk Nutrients as far as I can tell have been the first Aussies to bring this in. Big props to these guys for taking a risk which is paying off dare I say.
This ingredient will be...
A couple of weeks ago my wrists started playing up - couldn't move them back and forth/rotate or even type without pain..
Mobility came back after a couple of days as pain subsided, however still get some pain when rotating the hands

Have picked up some of the new 101 from bn over a week ago, and am impressed with the product after about 5 uses..
Dosage size is 1.5-2 scoops per use
Focus - 7/10
I would rate this quite good. I feel quite dialled in on the task at hand and focused on my breathing during sets.. there is...
Hi AusBB. What are your thoughts re: settling into or 'catching up' with a weight while following a linear progression?
IMO, progressing linearly sometimes leaves stages where your form suffers
After about 3 months of 5x5 linear progression (2.5kg pw) I was noticing this from time to time, so...

Conclusion - how I think I went
Pretty much figured out what works for me diet-wise. Figured out that I really should...
Today during a pretty standard chest workout I felt light headed and my eyesight went funny... some parts just of out of the centre of focus were blurry and also some parts just weren't there at all.. I had to look at someone directly to see their face :confused:
Went back to normal about half...
I'm moving out and could do with some advice from anyone...
Looking for tips of budgeting, actually really anything you wish you knew before you moved out or think is good oil for a young bloke moving on in life
My history... I've House-sat alone for 4 months before
I grew a lot in maturity...
What are your experiences and ideas re: putting plates under the heels during deadlifts
With a tall person, it seems their long legs can make it more difficult to get the bar past the knees, in turn putting pressure towards the toes and balls of feet instead of the heels. This is the conclusion...
Who here is into this kind of music?
It's hard not to appreciate the energy in some of this music. The buildups, the breaks. Great for the gym IMO
Would be good to share it around
I'm particularly into 'drumstep' lately

Something we probably only notice on ourselves
Got abnormal muscles? Out of shape, etc?
My lower inner pecs are very asymmetrical... one is squared off, one is chopped diagonally
Maybe more mass will solve
Wild shot here, anyone here into game fishing aka traveling hours to sea and trolling, jigging, cubing, popping etc?
I'm into tuna and kingfish jigging... nothing like that power
Last night after a few sets of heavy (for me) 3rm deads my vision went blurry and I just stood there on another planet - huge rush throughout my back and legs... couple minutes later I was back into it
Is this normal?
I don't take pre trainers
Felt goodman
Chopping down the diversity of my routine and abandoning most machines now I have a gym bud... please critique my plan

Monday after a very big workout I left the gym damp and inadequately clothed for the cold temperature.. Tuesday morning get that feeling you know you're coming down with something

Putting aside natural scepticism and cynicism, Im pretty intrigued by this type of evaluation
Anyone know what profile they are?
There are, according to this, 16 different types of personalities.
Traits or dichotomies are as follows... Introverted/extroverted, Sensing/intuition...
I have complete stick legs and I'm already maxing out the leg extension machines @ 95kg, 3 sets 6 reps + half weight superset
Does anyone who's been lifting for a while even bother with these? What is the value?
I get a much better workout I feel with leg press
