    Working Out In The Workplace

    I put on music and pretend to play double bass drums with my feet all day. I still can't play drums for shit though.

    Your Opinions on Rep Ranges in Strength Training

    No different to running, you may have done sprints for along time but you'll struggle to run fast over a long distance. You have to have ago and learn to adapt.

    Your Opinions on Rep Ranges in Strength Training

    Not that I can speak with experience like most here but found Madcow worked for me for awhile when I started to struggle on squats. It's based on 5 reps. Squats for instance. Monday was 5 reps, Wednesday was deload for 5 reps, and Friday was heavy day (basically life more than Monday) for 3...

    How do you do your HIIT

    Can I ask what are some of the best sprint routines you guys do? I started again this morning and haven't done any running since Tough Mudder previously but want to target fat loss more than fitness. I did a 1km slow jog first then did 6 X 100 sprints and topped it off by 2 X steep hill...

    Personal trainers

    When I worked in a gym and did the sales pitch we were never to say personal trainer. Simply Mrs Jones finds it intimidating, but when I say to Mrs Jones that we will have a personal weight loss coach to help you achieve those goals, it sounds much more appealing to her. No difference...

    Sedentry Work and Cutting

    I'm skipping squats on bench days so yeah techniquely it's not SS. I'm happy with how it's working out. Rather 2 strong squat sessions instead of 3 weak ones.

    Sedentry Work and Cutting

    Twice a week. Doing Starting Strength purely because I love it. Am doing the main lifts still but found squatting 3 times on a cut was too draining. Am happy with twice a week. Seems some cardio is needed. Use to box a bit so might hit that again with some jump rope and add in some sprints...

    Sedentry Work and Cutting

    Any tips for cutting whilst working a sedentary job? I'm currently 100.8kg and my weight loss has stalled the last 2 weeks. Had been having 2250cal with correct p/f/c and brought on a 3 kilo weight loss so far. Previosuly I had tried 2500 cals but gained weight. How does a sedentary...

    Training Times

    Consistency. You try and workout when you least like it then you are more likely to pack it in sooner than later. Why not attempt 3 times a week instead and if you get a 4th in it's a bonus. With my own work and doing Dad stuff when I get home I found it hard to maintain a typical...

    Very Simple Cutting Question/s

    Thanks for the input. Been doing it for 4 weeks now and have found the sweet spot so to speak. My Monday is now Saturday. Basically workouts are Saturday, Monday, Wednesday. Figured I have alot more time on the weekend so may as well put a workout in there and instead of working out after dinner...

    Lifting 5 months, need routine advice. Thanks

    Well done. Yep it's all individual preference. My 3 year old joins me when I workout. I have a TV and what not so put on the toons for him and in between sets I spot him on the pullup bar. He loves it lol. Sorry to derail the thread Tekno.

    Lifting 5 months, need routine advice. Thanks

    Yep, the young lad here asking about routines will have more time on his hands to do split routines whereas myself has limited time when I get home with family and kid duties. I found doing a split routine was eating into either my sleep time or quality time with my son in the afternoon. SS...

    Lifting 5 months, need routine advice. Thanks

    Yep as others have said, enjoyment should be first priority for the simple fact you will keep going back to it and progressing. I went from starting strength earlier this year because I loved it, changed my whole routine around to do Tough Mudder and hated that training. I am now doing my...

    Quality Bodybuilding Gym Brisbane

    No more pool, seems about right. Apart from the old ducks doing aqua aerobics it was never used. Outdoor weights, what do you mean? You can bench press whilst staring at the midday sun or looking at the stars since it's 24hrs now?

    Quality Bodybuilding Gym Brisbane

    7 years ago. I might be biased but it shits all over the other gyms in every way. It's locally owned and operated too and the original owner I think is still there when it was called Springwood Sports Centre. You can't beat having local owners. I still see members from time to time out in the...

    Quality Bodybuilding Gym Brisbane

    I use to work at Lifestyle Gym on Dennis Road at Springwood. It use to be the body building gym and from what I know it still has loads of good stuff upstairs. World Gym though would seem to cater for what you are after though.

    the what u saw at the gym TODAY thread

    Was in the news today. Martin passes out with a 180kg front squat - YouTube POOR Martin. He was just trying to set a new personal best at the gym and it all went horribly wrong. You can see the steely determination in his eyes at the start. He's pumped for the 180kg front squat ahead of...
