    Jihadist Khaled Sharroufs son holds severed head

    This has got me thinking. If these ISIS/IS guys are the minority fanatics, and if what they are doing is contrary to what the majority of Muslim say is the correct righteous word of the Prophet, then why is there no a general popular uprising by this Muslim majority worldwide against these guys...

    Newbies fire away your questions

    What sort of grams for P+F+C do you recommend Timeah on high and low days and do you calculate that on bodyweight or LBM ? I've seen both recommended but leaning toward LBM if bodyfat level it +15-20%.

    Newbies fire away your questions

    I'm in the process of cleaning up my diet with a goal to lose body fat. I've come across a variety of theories as to the base calorie number to commence with, typically either bodyweight or LBM multiplied by "x". Stick at this point for 2 weeks and evaluate - when stalled reduce by 200 calories...

    [Rugby] Rugby League & Rugby Union discussions.

    As someone who only played front row, I am biased and like the contest but fully appreciate the frustration in particular re-setting when the ball is coming out (it has improved this year though). What I do find frustrating is hands/bodies all over the ball at the breakdown. Bring back rucking...

    carbon monoxide poisoning from home brew distillery

    Yep, sounds like grappa or derivative to me. No way is it simply wine. Although wine making does not involve distillation, the fermentation of grapes does give off carbon dioxide which can make you crook. But I can't see these guys having huge open vats fermenting away, lol.

    The late great Gary Moore and the late great Albert King. No so much the lyrics (albeit they are good) but the constant riffs. Air guitar heaven.

    Shoulder Flexibility Issue

    I need a bit of advice on trying to sort out a shoulder flexibility issue. The best way to describe it I think is if I was to place a bar on my upper back for squats, I need to hold the bar right at the very end on the bar (next to the plates) as I am unable to bring my hands in any closer. So I...

    Bench Press Question

    OK, so benched this morning concentrating on : vertical arm position at start (meant bringing in my grip by ~1 inch), scapula retraction, flaring elbows out, tension held in the chest, 1 second hold at chest. It went as follows: 8 x 60kg, 8 x 70kg, 8 x 80kg, 8 x 90kg, 6 x 100kg, 4 x 110kg At...

    Bench Press Question

    Thanks for the replies. I dropped the weight down to 60kg this morning and concentrated on the scapula retraction and squeezing the chest for whole rep, especially at the pause. I worked this up by 10kg increments to 100kg where my right shoulder, which has a slight twinge, came into the press...

    Bench Press Question

    I've been training on a touch and go basis but now want to move to a 1 second pause. I tried this and my triceps died on me. When I do touch and go I feel it more in the chest and when I feel my shoulders round and come into the press, I rack it. Generally working on 4 sets and trying to hit 8...
