    Powerlifting Comp for Newbs

    Have you been training there before? I'll be there on Thurs, but I come late. Either way I'll be at the comp on Sunday. GL Callan, 180 deadlift is yours.

    Australian Powerlifting Championships + 2011 International Pacific Invitational

    Can't wait for the comp. I have a feeling I might be more tired by the end of Sunday than I was when I last competed.

    weight lifting belts / back support?

    It can help keep your form from breaking down thus letting you lift heavier while still being safe. Have a read: Belt Me Up, Scotty PR Friday More Reasons For Wearing A Belt

    PA's Raw Powerlifting Grading Scales

    Say you qualify for Commonwealths or worlds, how much more would you need to actually be competitive? Also, what would you need for Oceania?

    What powerlifting federation

    ^ From videos I've seen CAPO judges seem to white-light higher squats when compared to PA judges. The only meets I've been to are PR1 and PA Raw Nationals to watch my GF lift, and even though PR1 had good judging in the squats even more depth was expected at the PA meet. Raw nationals was well...

    Iron edge rep challenge results

    Females can't recruit the same percentage of their muscle fibres as men in a single lift so their 10RM will be closer to their 1RM than a male with the same 1RM.

    hams/quad strength

    ^ Ahh that changes things. That's possibly bad reporting that led to a false positive, could be a number of things though. I'd guess that the orthopaedic surgeon and the physio were able to correctly diagnose your problem due to a large amount of clinical experience rather than their expertise...

    hams/quad strength

    Physio's and GP's won't be able to interpret the MRI as well as a radiologist. The radiologist will include all visible pathology on the report. If they ignored the radiologists report then there was probably no point in getting the MRI, or the requesting doctor didn't fill out the request...

    Weight lifting belt, which one?

    I bought a Toro Lever belt from Minh and I like it. My training buddy has this: OutBak Belt (Leather Powerlifting Belt) - Muscle Genesis - Discount Supplements Australia - And it's fine.

    ABC BARBELLS... need some gurus..

    I've trained extensively with ABC power bars and I've training a bit with Eleiko's. The Eleiko's are much nicer, but they do cost more. If I had a choice and money wasn't a factor I'd always take an Eleiko over an ABC bar. The ABC bars are still good though, and would be a good bar for rack use.

    Sheiko and Conventional Deadlifts

    ^ I did a similar thing when I ran 29 and I found that my back and legs were ok but my hands were thrashed. EDIT: I should also note that I've only run 29 and now doing 37 with some reduced volume on deads to get my form right, so I am far from knowledgeable about Sheiko.

    Your Goals

    I don't think it's a matter of just putting on a shirt and upping your bench instantly. I'm sure if I tried on Minh's shirt (in my size) I probably wouldn't even be able to bench. Anyway, back on topic, I'm not sure where to set my goals for this year as I don't know how fast I'll progress. I...

    Peaking

    I've heard the same sentiment aired by quite a few good lifters.
