    You could probably use Froglube as an aftershave tbh lad. Yet another study that shows the lack of correlation between the NFA and firearm homicides vonfram88; http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1359178916300258

    The Internet and the good and bad

    I don't think there's many actual powerlifters who still post here at all, let alone PA ones.

    The Internet and the good and bad

    Markos Markopolous - his internet evangelising and the old PTC newsletters got me interested in real strength training, not doing babby's 5 day split like all the other bros, it gave me a sense of direction when I first started training (and it's how I found AusBB). Rippetoe, not from a...

    Pull ups

    Always good to get another perspective bud, same as any discussion forum on any other sport. if I went just off the powerlifters I trained with, I'd be competing and training equipped and probably doing some sort of Sheiko style training :rolleyes: I liked seeing what fellow PA lifters had to...

    Pull ups

    Unfortunately most threads in the PL section end up like this, that's why this forum is mostly old farts and amateur endocrinologists now.

    Pull ups

    The goose is loose in this thread. Yeah nah on the assisted machine, like pretty much every other person said, I only ever became able to do a pullup by doing negatives for weeks on end.

    Broken rope

    I pushed myself through squatting more than I should have the other day, then I couldn't train the next day after because my body was fatigued too much. Felt bad. Personally I think its better to dial it back a tad and be able to train for longer rather than going balls to the wall and facing...

    Australia is podium finisher in drugs taking

    Typical of someone representing the Australian Medical Association tbh. I have noticed that they are at the forefront of nanny statism.

    I agree. Given that we didn't have concealed or open carry pre 96 anyway, the only rapes which could have potentially been prevented would have been those perpetrated as part of a home invasion etc.

    IPF ruling on Ed Coan seminars

    I'm sure he will be crying all the way to the bank

    IPF ruling on Ed Coan seminars

    Well this particular rule only came in during 2015. I think it's fair enough for the IPF to not let its members attend, especially when Coan was banned for life for getting caught cheating 3 times. IPF just happened to spell it out so that there was no ambiguity (especially knowing how popular...

    IPF ruling on Ed Coan seminars

    I believe it is because of the fact that he's running powerlifting seminars. Probably falls under a sporting context, hence no IPF members should be in attendance. I don't know why people always use this stuff as an excuse to bash the IPF. From WADA's own website: "What is ‘prohibited...

    You're making a big assumption that people there won't kill themselves via other methods. Hilary (a most despicable person as well) is using gun control as a soapbox, rather than trying to find any meaningful solutions. How about addressing the mental health and social issues that are driving...

    Why It's Dangerous To Ask A Stranger For A Spot

    Eh I spot guys at powerlifting all the time. It would be kind of silly to do any kind of heavy squatting out of stands withouth spotters on either side. I squat in a rack @ commercial gym and don't go all out with benching, cause I don't trust BB'er type kunce to recognise when I need help vs...

    More than 30,000 Americans die from gun violence every year...

    I think it gives too much power to police to arbitrarily decide what is an 'excessive amount' Especially when it applies to dealers who have to go through even more scrutiny than firearms owners! Some people I shoot clays with buy shells by amounts up to half a pallet, because there is stuff all...

    Mate I'm not sure what you're on about here - guns are a tool or sporting instrument depending on how they are used; some are in fact works of art. I get a lot of enjoyment out of shooting, owning and looking after my guns and it's a great social and sporting community. I also strongly believe...

    More than 30,000 Americans die from gun violence every year...

    That's why most of us would prefer to talk about the Australian gun laws in the context of Australia only, however everyone else always has to inextricably link us to the US. Most shooters I know just want to maintain the status quo and be left alone, however ongoing media attention has meant...

    Are you not aware of the new Ammo Bill in NSW? Or the current push from various unelected bureaucrats to have lever action firearms recategorized so that ordinary AB license holders can no longer possess them? That's two that I can think of off the top of my head. The NFA review is mid next...
