    Who here front squats?

    I will try the 2 finger technique (:D) and if not, have a look around for those links? I admit I didn't read through the first few pages of the thread.

    What gym equipment do you wish your gym had?

    Add these to my list too. My old fitness first had 2 tricep dip machines (one cable and one free weight) and the back pullover machine (free weight from memory).

    Who here front squats?

    I can't increase the weight high enough with my arms crossed (start sweating and they slide) and can't do the clean grip. So I've dropped them for now :<

    Garage Training for my wife and me...

    The issue I have with all of these full body workouts is that they don't take account of the vicissitudes of life.. I can always make it 3 or 4 times to gym, but not necessarily evenly spaced out (i.e. with rest days). I find an upper/lower split much better because if need be you can just go 4...

    Is there any magic to it - I've never done it before.

    Straight Bar or EZ Curl ?

    I think the upshot is that if your biceps aren't facing directly up while under tension, you won't get the full benefit. Maybe I'll just take into account that I should just do 1 or 2 intense sets of what 10-12? (of barbell curls)

    the what u saw at the gym TODAY thread

    I have a couple of videos of some of the antics at my gym - what's the best way to show them, a screen shot probably won't do it justice.

    How much rest is needed or you are needing ?

    I don't really have time to 'rest' at the gym. I tend to just superset everything and just rest while I'm working the antagonistic muscle (or unrelated muscle). If I'm not too short on time, I won't superset, but I will keep my rest periods short.

    What gym equipment do you wish your gym had?

    Nothing major, but it would be nice to have: - dedicated seated cable row (when they renovated they got rid of their old cybex equipment) - seated calf raise (plates) - one of those apparatuses for hyperextensions (Fitness First by the way)

    Hello! From Aimee @ Gym Direct

    I imagine it is difficult to find somewhere that you can perform your favourite workout of running, snowboarding and weights :)

    Weighted dips - how much ?

    I find that it's all in the location of the elbows (which depends on the width).

    What was your first "Damn, I'm really proud of myself" moment?

    Worst exercises

    I've noticed that if I don't actively rotate my shoulders back and down so they are locked in, it crunches on lat raises.

    what can we do ourselves to help make AUSBB better

    Admin; - we really need to be more careful about NSFW material. There was no warning on the jodie marsh thread (I didn't know who she was) that it would be anything other than simple transformation pictures.. cheers

    Are athletes built or born?

    Other way I suspect, unless there is some magical about yours :O

    Help with overhead press

    I find that, generally, my performance on the 3rd set will drop. So often you hit 10-12 on the first set or two, but the third just tapers off. I've started taking account of it lately and I will just reduce the weight by 2.5kg per side, for example, so that the reps don't decrease too far.
