    Homemade Ice Cream

    Damn, that looks good! :) Might have to finally get around to buying one of those icecream making things. Natvia works well for this purpose then? How would it compare to other options?

    Coupla questions about "ingredients"

    Er, well, training is just one part of my life, and I doubt I'll find myself competing in anything strength-related. HTH. :D But I do take strength training "seriously"(?), as well. As in, it's very important to me, and with any luck I'll still be lifting when I'm very old. Kinda don't get...

    What wrist straps would you recommend?

    Preferably not too expensive (not sure how much I'll ever use them!) and/or with low cost shipping (so from Australia, or maybe from Amazon, say...) Just has to hold up to increasingly heavy shrugs, maybe some other pulls if/when I need them for that, and I might use them for front squats, if I...

And why. Next, sucralose. Is it safe... or will it fuck you up. Any genuine, comprehensive research been...

    Anyone up for a comp to keep up motivation

    No "power rack" or whatever they're called, with pins and all that (never seen one in the flesh, lol). There's a kind of rack/stand(?) thing, that you take the bar off and put it back on, for squats or OHP, things like that. But there's really no safety, without a spotter and/or that sort of...

    Anyone up for a comp to keep up motivation

    Haha, would be alright if this was for 2012, even though I fucked around for like half of it and didn't lift at all, lol. Still managed to add a good amount of weight to all three. I guess my "newbie gains" are going to falter pretty soon, so I don't know how much to expect for '13. Doesn't...

    Merry Christmas

    Merry Christmas, all ya crazy arse strong people. :cool: Thanks for being funny, helpful, informative, and all that other stuff along the way. I've learned a lot, and been inspired by a number of you. Have an awesome day, with your nearest and dearest (or whoever else). Cheers, Mc

    Ah well, it's the season for all training and stuff like it to go to shit, lol. :D So, probably no chance of meeting my previously stated goals (they were a bit optimistic, haha), which happen to be 140/100/180, "by the end of the year". Doesn't matter. Progress is progressing, yo. :p Bench...

    Squats

    For what it's worth (I'm only squatting between the 130kg and 140kg mark so far, depending on squat style, and hence would generally - and rightly - be considered a rank novice, so yeah, take my advice with as much damn salt as you like :D) ... I've found that the best way to get squats (and...

    130kg high bar squats (ATG, lol!) today. Fuck yeah! :cool: The last time I did some "heavy" oly squatting, it was @ 117.5kg, so this is awesome. It was on a whim, haha. My hamstrings (and upper back, ugh) were still sore from Wednesday, so I wasn't planning to do any squats other than front...

    Strength training question/help (semi long read)

    Yep. Take this advice to heart, OP. And hey, there's a very good reason why all the advice has been pretty much the same throughout this thread. I know where you're at - I fucked around for a while, not knowing what the hell I was doing. Could have been something similar to that "program" you...

    Strength training question/help (semi long read)

    That's definitely to the point! Would you mind posting the details of the program? Also, what program did you use as a beginner, if not something like that? For me, it's been a full body routine, with squats, deadlifts, bench press, overhead press, rows and pullups that has done me the most...

    Bench pressing

    I only do flat benching, at this stage. Sometimes I rip out the dumbbells and go all high rep at them. But it's still on a flat bench. If I ever get the dreaded drooping moobs I'll jump on the incline, sure enough. Flat followed by incline, would be my current guesstimate, for if it ever...

    Posterior Chain

    Back extensions, in maybe two or three sets, two or three times a week? I'm no expert, but I do that exercise, and I'm about as certain as I can be that they've helped so far.

    SLDL technique

    Awesome. There's also a metric arseton of shite there, and I wouldn't necessarily know what the best example or best advice is, just by looking at it. I know, things are never entirely a safe bet online, but I'd prefer to get some pointers directly from experienced lifters (some of them on here...

    SLDL technique

    Thanks, Goosey. As for PL gyms, nope. No can do. Like I said, basically. Fuck it. :( I taught myself every other lift so far, with a bit of help from the webs and a PDF or two. Apparently, my form is fine for deads, squats, bench, OHP and rows. Power cleans are... sorta like the real thing...

    SLDL technique

    I'd like to give stiff-leg deads a go. Where would I find solid info on form for that lift? Being trained is just not an option where I am: internet tutorials and shit like that is what I've got to go on. So they've gotta be good! :)
