Well, it shits me how much emphasis lifters put on music. FFS, youre in the gym, not a nightclub.

So one night I had Bee Gees blaring in the gym the whole night. I lost count how many PB's were set, I listed them all on the ns.com website.

If someone is pissweak and needs everything going there way, then the slightest thing not going there way will be an excuse for their performance.

Fadi made a great post on the chaos theory. A truly good lifter should be able to perform under ANY circumstances.

Check out the 4 wet nights video, James squatting 180kg barefoot standing on towels because the gym was flooded.

I'm just saying, you should be able to perform anywhere in any conditions.

Just my opinion. My next newsletter is about lifting in adversity.

On some days maybe, but when your focused nothing else matters, or registers, its just you and that bar..Its the only training partner I need.

Well I do agree with that, since I never listen to music while lifting. I prefer the clanging of the weight plates.

My post was meant to be light-hearted, but the point is that people who train outside of serious gyms have never really seen max effort lifts before and don't know what it is like to throw everything they have at the bar. The "soft" environment at a typical gym - choice of music included - doesn't help either.

Good thing my current gym is too cheap to pay the new music license so they usually turn it off.

Didn't you write in a newsletter once that Shorty deadlifted 200kg on his first visit to PTC, with his previous max being only 170kg? The environment makes a huge difference.

PTC · 24-05-2010, 02:08 PM

Yep, I'll give you that. Enviroment can definitely add kilos.

And dont get me wrong, I HATE with a passion when shit music is playing, and it never does in my gym, but if I was training at a commercial gym, I wouldnt allow it to muck up my session.

There are fantastic gyms in most states now, you guys should seek them out

PowerSports in Canberra
Shire Speed & Strength in Sydney
Muscle Pit in WA

Harvey drives for 1h45m to come to PTC 3 times a week, each way.

Even if you could only get to one of them once a week

Would love to lift at PTC, wish I had time outside of work & other things to travel that much for lifting.

I just asked Paul Nay about gyms affiliated with CAPO and it appears that there's one within walking distance from my place: Doherty's Gym, Brunswick. It looks like a competitive bodybuilder gym from the website, but a few CAPO and IPF guys train there, I'm told. I asked if he could post such info on their website. PA has quite a number of lifting clubs around Melbourne, time for CAPO to respond with something.

I'm going there to see the CAPO fellas and if it's all good, will join them soon.

Dohertys has gym in Dandenong and the City as well, CAPO actually holds comps at Dohertys gyms.

If you go to the CAPO website, you will see that it holds comps at Bodyworld in Balaclava and Steve Browns gym in Caulfield, with 3 Dohertys and PTC, your spoilt for choice.

I grew up in Brunswick by the way, 145 Victoria St.

Have you attempted a 1rm before?

Nope...

To date I've been a workout for bulk kinda guy so hover in the 5-8 rep kind of range. Decided to focus on strength as I'm sick of the plateaus I'm stuck on and am using these first 11 week cycles to calibrate. Expected my deads were low and might inch them up a bit. We'll see what happens. Any suggestions?

Cheers,
Mike

Christian · 24-05-2010, 07:05 PM
