    Various single ply suits for sale

    make an offer, all offers considered as I'm not doing any more equipped comps. Note Titan, Metal and Inzer all use different numbers for sizing so don't compare numbers. All suits were fitting me at 105-110kg. None of them were ultra tight by eastern states standards SOLD 1 x Titan Super...

    there isn't a raw masters world bench comp ( yet ) But when there is the qualification will be same as for equipped IPF masters worlds, eg: any total, plus competed at Australian champs ( masters or open ), and can afford to pay for it.

    What powerlifting federation

    I think you're talking rubbish. In Australia testing is taken seriously, if I knew for certain that a PA lifter was taking drugs I'd be first on the phone to ASADA. Always amazes me that those in non-tested federations are quick to point the finger at drug testing claiming that everyone is on...

    What powerlifting federation

    why is it funny? All PA lifters are subject to testing, and if they do fail a test they are banned from all registered sports in Australia. And the better you are the more you get tested, plus records are stripped from cheats. The testing is also independent by a government body, the tests are...

    Stretch Shortening Cycle

    humour and sarcasm doesn't translate well online. For the majority of powerlifters ( me included ), trying to figure out this strength shortening cycle is overthinking things. I do have a copy of Science and Practice of strength training, and while it looks very pretty on my shelf of training...

    Stretch Shortening Cycle

    completely serious, here's even more evidence of the strength shortening cycle effectiveness, I'm taller than both these guys, so I'm obviously in desperate need of this magic cycle to get shorter to be more competitive. Powerlifting Australia Ltd. Men's Rankings - 2010 - Top 20 NAME BWT...

    Stretch Shortening Cycle

    I have no idea what the strength shortening cycle is, but considering I'm much taller than Minh I guess he's a master of it. At 5ft11" I seem to be a bit tall compared to the russians and Ed Coan, so i'd like to hear about this shortening cycle.

    Sheiko and Conventional Deadlifts

    for nationals I did full volume 29 then 32 with conventional deads. The only change is I use straps for the deadlift from boxes as I find my hands get torn up with double deadlift days. I did all the deadlift to knees with a pause at knee then lockout, and the from boxes with the bar about...

    Peaking

    I rarely max in training, But will occasionally do a rep max. I try not to miss any attempts in training. Generally training is geared towards peaking at competition Training is always hard but very rarely 100% of effort, as I get more experienced and older I'm starting to figure out what my...

    CAPO Vic State Titles

    Hey Damir, did you not notice the bit where I said you had done over 200kg in the past? I stand by my statement, 170-180kg raw is still nowhere near 200kg raw, I have no doubt that you can get back to 200kg+ once your pec and tricep are fixed. My mistake on the shoulder, I meant pec. I...

    PA lifters at ProRaw Rep Challenge

    Spartacus, I don't see what your issue is with the Arnold. The Powerlifting event is one event out of multiple sports, some tested some not. No-one thinks the strongman and bodybuilding is drugfree. Brian Siders, who is the top IPF heavyweight in the USA has competed in the Arnold...

    PA lifters at ProRaw Rep Challenge

    just allow straps then it's not powerlifting. There's no issue with allround weightlifting and the variations of deadlifts we do there, double overhand no hook, fat bar etc. Even standard deadlift when it's in a comp with other obscure lifts like dumbell swing. the problem you have is that...

    Add Brad Cope to your list through. Doesn't even look like a bencher but did an easy 200kg raw at WA capo comp a couple of weeks ago

    CAPO Vic State Titles

    Damir is nowhere near 200kg raw. He has done over 200kg raw in the past, but with current shoulder and tricep injuries shirted is a better option for health. He's a big raw deadlifter, and has potential for a huge raw squat

    How much water weight can you lose in sauna?

    This is one of those rules that was needed at International level to help with organising TV Coverage etc. It was unanimously approved at IPF congress at 2010 worlds. "what few attempts at media coverage were made often thwarted when whoever would say to TV guy “so & so is lifting at 2.oo...

    How much water weight can you lose in sauna?

    the reasoning for the new 21 day rule is to ensure that at International comps, that people don't duck and dodge competition by jumping up and down weight classes once they see who turns up. In Australia it's only enforced at national competitions. Weightlifting has a similar rule "A competitor...
