    Labour work + Gym work?

    In a given 8 hour work day, the minimum requirement is 30 minutes of breaks, which can be one 30 minute block, or two 15 minute blocks. Cheers, Aaron.

    Labour work + Gym work?

    G'Day Mate, I don't have a labour intensive job. I am, however, on my feet from around 7am until 4pm 6 days per week, and extremely hard pressed for breaks during that period (issuing licences for forklifts, boomlifts, scaffolding, etc). I need to leave home by 5.30am most days, sometimes...

    What's on your mind...

    ... During working sets? I picture a 2.5kg weight. Because that's what is trying to beat me. I've already conquered the rest. Cheers, Aaron.

    Looking at getting Power rack + bench

    I'd say buy the MM Commercial rack, as it will last you forever - particularly if you plan on having clients on it. You could save the extra money buy not buying a full bench press, but rather just a bench to use in the rack. When you have enough clients visiting home to justify requiring a...

    Buying a quality barbell

    If you're using the timber stands that Markos was giving away, with bumpers, they're not going to do any damage to any bar, as they catch the weights, not the bar. Cheers, Aaron.

    Buying a quality barbell

    I opted for the 'do it once, do it right' option, and bought a Zhang Kong Competition bar. However, be mindful that, even if you have a good bar, you definitely will still need a second bar you're happy to use with other equipment (power rack, squat rack, bench, etc). There's no point in paying...

    situps are bad for your back?

    Are you sure you don't mean 300N and 240N? I can't see US workplace safety rules allowing a lifting pressure threshold of 244kg. Unless they've got stock pickers who squat 3x per week? Cheers, Aaron.

    Is 0.7xBW acceptable for UDL's?

    Just wondering if 70% bodyweight is ok for a first try at UDLS? 3 years, 5 months, 11.4kg. Not bad I think? Cheers, Aaron.

    Ok. So do you think it's ok to do these on 'off' days? Or even every day? 1x1, 1x2, 1x3,1x2, 1x1 ... Cheers, Aaron.

    I was never very good at pushups. I started doing girl pushups everyday until I could get to 20 reps. Then I started on full pushups, would go to max, and then make up the balance of 20 out of girl pushups. What are peoples thoughts on doing this for chins? I think my arms would be too hammered...

    Bought a strap from bunnings for $7.00. It's 1.2m long, 2cm wide, and has enclosed clips on the ends (ie not super dangerous hooks). It will probably break in the next few weeks, but I can get 3 chin ups out of it atm. I'm sure it will last me long enough to get me going. Cheers, Aaron.
