    Anbody using Skins or other compression tights?

    Cheers mate, interesting link. There might be more to it than I thought with regards to enhancing performance (like a full body knee wrap) and improving recovery through increased veinous flow. Interesting to note though that the pressure needs to be pretty precise, so each person would...

    Anbody using Skins or other compression tights?

    The puma cat tights work well and should last you ages. They are aniti-microbial too so they won't get a permanent stink either. Great for keeping warm when you have to train outdoors (or even indoors) in winter. I don't believe they (Pumas or any other brand) assist in recovery though, I...

    Hemp protein? From the plant? Would that be like rice protein?

    Gym attire

    I wear loose/baggy basketball shorts, a dry-fit/moisture wicking t-shirt, and then some puma 917 lo's, which are Pumas version of volleys/chucks.

    More Chins - help required!

    That makes sense. Usually after Ive failed on my last set I'll try and hold the position Ive failed in for as long as possible rather than just give up, but Ill try multiple shrugs as you suggest, cheers.

    BN's Casein Hydrolysates

    Just bought my 2nd bucket 5kg of ISO Sensation. I know the chocolate fudge tastes good, Im trying the banana icecream flavour this time. It mixes well too in the cocktail shaker I use, just remember to put the milk in first not the powder lol. What do people think of ISO Sensation, is it...

    Cardio.

    Running is a great form of cardio as you can get your heart rate up and keep it relatively constant there for a sustained period of time. It's also a great way to burn heaps of calories and generally tone your body as it not only involves toughening your legs up but also requires using your...

    Do you mean with your chin over the bar still? Im trying to imagine how to do that.

    More Chins - help required!

    Thanks guys. Unfortunately i don't have access to a chin bar all day, I'd love one in my office though lol. And Ive started doing 30 chins in a session in sets of 3, with 1-2mins break in between, rather than just do say 6, 6, 4. Ill think about getting my chest up too eje and see if that...

    More Chins - help required!

    I've noticed that after a few reps my sticking point is right at the top, I seem to fly up and then the last 2 inches (getting my chin over the bar) takes about 3 seconds and is draining as fark. Why is this? Are my lats tired so I'm relying on biceps? Why do I find myself curling into a ball...

    Oppinions of Crossfit

    If you want to win at a PL comp then no, X-fit isn't for you. But generally speaking, it produces extremely fit people with great physiques, and by changing it up so much it appeals to people who get sick of limiting their focus to about 7 different movements (Sq's, DL,s OHP, Bench, BORS...

    recreation health club members?

    Re-Creation in Sandringham (Melbourne) has just been taken over by Good Life fitness or something. It's massively crowded now.... anyway I signed up with Re-Creation on a 2 year contract at $27 f/n, so $700/yr.

    The psychology of injuries

    Cheers Fuzzy. Your response seems a bit over the top, but it's the internet and I think you may have misinterpreted my point - and I may have misinterpreted yours. I'm not really having a whinge or a sook (though I can see how it would sound like that), I was just trying to answer the question...

    The psychology of injuries

    I train at a gym but Im a lone wolf with no spotters, trainers or partners. After dicking around (so I found out) injury free with various machines for about a year or so I started barbell exercises and after about 2 months managed to hurt the left side of my lower back deadlifting a PB of...

    How things have changed

    Most gyms make their money by churning people in and out. The less time people spend there the more people they can sign up. If you can fit 2 squat racks or 4 treadmills , then it makes sense to keep 4 people busy instead of 2 doesn't it? My "fitness centre" runs the usual gammut of classes -...

    Wider Grip?!

    Thanks. Well Ive got my goals in order, I want to enjoy the benefits of being strong rather than just look good...

    Wider Grip?!

    Yeah well it's working because Im stronger, but I thought novices were meant to do similar programs until they are ready to branch off. Do you mean guys (with a similar BW) doing bodybuilding programs might have bigger muscles (in this case chest) than me but can't lift (in this case bench) as...
