    Ammonia Smell

    Interesting point but no drinking during Mon-Thurs and one glass of wine over the weekend (i.e. half a glass on Fiday night and half a glass Saurday night). God I am a boring bastard!

    Pull-up or pull down?

    Good point about the leverages and ROM Andy - must admit I find pulldowns kinder to my body than chin ups these days as much as I think chin ups are a great exercise.

    Ammonia Smell

    Something that I have noticed lately is a very strong ammonia smell coming from my t-shirts after training. Normally I take my t-shirt off straight after my training session and dump it into my gym bag. When I take the t-shirt out the next day (yes I know I should take it out as soon as I get...

    Weakness : OR Least Favourite Exercise/Lift?

    1. Where would you all like to make improvements in your training routine? I would like/need to do more volume 2. What's your least favourite exercise/lift and why? In no particular order i. Pretty much every max effort exercise I have on my training log (except deadlifts) - unfortunately I...

    2012 CAPO QLD champs

    1.Shame that Jason Durbridge had a hamstring injury so only did token squat and deadlift - should be healed up for Nationals and Worlds though 2. Interestingly Allan Kliese only did the squat equipped and did the bench and deadlift raw 3. Sadly Dan Cann bombed in the bench - Dan has the...

    Reverse Hyper

    No worries mate - the reverse hyper (without trying to sound like an advert) has made a huge difference to me. They are pretty expensive though.

    Reverse Hyper

    Use one 3 times a week I have found it gives a good carryover to the squat and deadlift - nothing spectacular but it all helps. The best thing I have found it for is rehab and prehab/recovery. It has really helped my back after dislocating some vertebrae (injury from years ago) and...

    Box squats

    As Andy has pointed out box squats and squats are two different things. Do not do box squats with knees forward for the following reasons: a.) It puts more pressure on your knees especially as you shoot forward at the knees to come off the box therefore box squatting with normal knees forward...

    Box squats

    Sorry if I have offended you Oni but it was a really important point to make as box squats are very misunderstood. To everyone reading this please endeavour to do box squats (as an assistance exercise) with your shins as vertical as possible - you will not be able to use as much weight as you...

    Training a union prop.

    What does "strength through the PC" mean mate? By the way I am sure god in his infinite mercy will forgive you for calling "Union a silly game" lol Should be very interesting to see how he goes

    Box squats

    Look at the video where KK is doing the speed squats at the very beginning - which strangely enough emphasises the point of using box squats as an assistance exercise. Once again how can you get things so wrong?

    Box squats

    How can you get things so wrong - KK is using exactly the form I have just described for doing box squats (his shins are past vertical and he is sitting back on to the box as I have described) - are we looking at the same video??? KK is using perfect form for doing box squats please look more...

    Box squats

    Correct on the breaking eccentric/concentric chain but wrong on everything else

    Box squats

    No - the whole point of performing a box squat is to put emphasis on the posterior chain and build dynamic strength (or special physical preparedness if you want to call it that). If you perform the box squat with a knees over toes or just behind toes you tend to defeat the whole point of doing...
