    "Form"

    Markos, I said you're wrong about how we train (esp since you've never been to our club), not that your way of training your lifters is wrong. Not everything we say is a direct challenge to your training philosophy, your lifters, PTC or ProRaw. I'm simply defending the way we train since Ghosty...

    "Form"

    You're comparing apples & oranges, Markos. A failure to communicate indeed. In saying that though, maybe you can bring Max to Uni Melb PL club for a session? ;) Minh's techniques are awesome, but Dave Jame is by far the best squatter and deadlifter at the club. Here's him deadlifting 270x5...

    Wider Grip?!

    If you want to have bigger chesticles and work them titties hard, try weight dips. On the flat bench, I believe triceps and shoulders work harder than chesticles. I got some big gains in chesticle size recently through volume work (bench, dips, DB, MP) and eating a lot. My grip was narrow, is...

    "Form"

    I like Markos'... passionate writing as much as you do, but there are things he's wrong about or overly exaggerates. He took a very special case (Minh's) and makes it as if all powerlifters train like him on the bench. Couldn't be more false. In fact, at my club, we usually give Minh sh1t over...

    "Form"

    Ghosty, if you train smart instead of abusing your body with 20 rep squat everyday, you'll stay injury free and would be making constant improvements instead of a little bit here & there then getting injured. You could be like a 68kg lifter at my club who's squatted 170 for 3x5 and deadlifted...

    "Form"

    "Get it right" means you consistently do good reps with that movement. Not "mastering" it. That's another level entirely. Stop with the semantics.

    "Form"

    There's a balance. Obsessing with form and not progressing with heavier weights is stupid. The kind of people your rant is directed at often have terrible form anyway, but they think that lifting light weight slowly and carefully is "good form". As long as your form is somewhat good, you...

    Elbow Pain when Squatting

    I'll take a guess (been helping two others with this) and say that you're losing back tightness through the squat, so that the bar starts to slide down your back and forces your arms to support it a little bit, hence the elbow pain. Are you squeezing your shoulder blades together tightly and...

    Power cleaning....a kid

    Your 5 year old, FIVE YEAR OLD, got into trouble and counseling for hitting a teacher? What kind of pussy ass school is that???? They don't know how to deal with a five year old little boy?

    Power cleaning....a kid

    Since PB can't fight the bullies himself (because the bullies are kids) I wonder exactly what kind of troubles can he, with his built-in protector's super power, deliver to those bullies at the moment they're kicking his kid's arse? Having authorities taking a strong stance against bullying is...

    PA raw Nationals - Melbourne

    Just noticed that Matt Middleton is also in the 93kg. Will be a very interesting battle between him and Scott Hill. One of the other 93kg guys (a Russian or EE fella with a heavy accent) is also pretty strong. I saw him train bench at Melb Uni the other week and he was repping 165kg. And the...

    PA raw Nationals - Melbourne

    Scott Hill is lifting in the 93kg raw. He's one very strong man! Got a 242.5 raw squat and 182.5 raw bench a couple months ago. Nghiep Luu is also lifting raw at 66kg. IIRC he just did 230kg deadlift for 3x5 in training. It's still below his best but he's just getting back into it.

    Squat depth

    ATG is Arse To Grass. That guy's arse is a good metre above grass. Didn't even get to parallel let alone ATG.

    Squat depth

    PowerSports, the problem here is that those lifters and judges are breaking the rules of their own fed.

    Squat depth

    Yes it can be taken from them, if nobody takes their squat seriously, or didn't you read that PW thread? If the only people acknowledging your squat are your pals in your own mickey mouse fed, then it's pretty sad & meaningless, don't you think? Can you think of any other sport where such...

    Squat depth

    That is an awesome training video. He's an insanely explosive lifter! Some mad lifts in there, and look easy in training too. I'm pretty sure that backsquat is a double at 320kg. :eek:

    Stepping down as a mod

    There are two others I can think of, but they're evil. ;) More PTC gyms would be good. I'd love to see the strength sports get bigger & better recognised.
