    A question on Squat form?

    It's a flexibility problem and it's normal. All part of learning to squat properly and deeply. Find stretches to work on your glute, hamstring and hip flexibility, and increase your lower back strength. The two approaches will fix it.

    Stickys comp!

    Hey Scott I had an awesome time mate. Thanks for hosting the day and putting the vids up. Huge props to you for all the effort. Has only inspired me to train like a demon and be in the top 5 for wilks next time and i'll definitely be up for the next one.

    Safety squat bar!

    You're not going too low. At the moment your flexibility doesn't really permit you going that low without buttwink, but that depth is good once you get more mobile. Your buttwink isn't all that bad, but it's there and combined with probably similar problems on your DL day you're causing...

    I now believe in personal trainers

    If it sounds too good to be true -- it is. This PT's claims are pretty outlandish - just as an example Shelby Starnes of Troponin Nutrition who works with top level bodybuilders and powerlifters doesn't even claim results like that, and he's right on the cutting edge. Not to mention those...

    What type of training routine is this? is this a good well rounded one?

    WAY too much volume. Totally unbalanced program. Too complicated for a beginner to complete effectively alone. Very inefficient choice of exercises. Dump it.

    Question on Chest

    He's got just as much lower pec thickness and hang in the later photos as he had in the earlier, if not more. In the later photos he has far more bulk everywhere else to even it up.

    Diabetic Workout

    Your dad doesn't need to do anything special because of his diabetes. A combination of moderate weight resistance training and some steady-state cardio like walking will have a huge effect on his health and won't turn him off exercise. Pick exercises that work large muscle groups like --...

    Question on Chest

    My guess would be he's leaner in most of the later photos and has also brought up his upper chest thickness, which would make the lower chest appear smaller.

    Need some help with workout routine

    Good argument. Still, i'm not suggesting he go all unilateral - one upper body session a week of compound movements would have been my suggestion. But you're right - being that new to it he may as well just focus on squats etc.

    the what u saw at the gym TODAY thread

    Only if you like your women skinny, tall, and whitebread :p She needs to eat a few roast chooks.

    Need some help with workout routine

    Totally agree - squats and lower body assistance work until your shoulder heals. But, there's a fair bit of evidence to show that training unilaterally (doing one limb movements) not only preserves some of the strength and size in your uninjured arm (obviously) but because you can't shut off...

    Be moral and ethical ppl.

    I agree with you, but i'm not entirely sure it's up to you to tell people how to live? Also, who says he's a bad guy? One wrong doesn't mean he's a horrible person.

    Hi [you] and welcome to ausbb

    I did some time in Paramatta, Tweed Heads, and then about 12 months in Armidale, north of Tamworth. I was pretty young to be a copper and living 7 hours from family and friends just all sucked too much. I'm actually pretty happy with how the squat and DL are going. Bench has never been a...

    Hi [you] and welcome to ausbb

    G'day g'day. I'm currently just over 80kg, 172cm tall and about 18 - 22 % bodyfat (by estimation). I'm 28 and i've been training with weights in some form or another for about 12 years. Started out at a local hardcore bodybuilding gym Muscles & Curves, run by Bob Hardy, ex- Mr Australia and...
