    The PB Thread

    Hit a rep PB of 1x5 @ 50kg for DB bench And I'll call my 3x5 on the GHR a PB since I've never done them before, not sure my legs straightened enough because I felt like my feet would slip out and I'd go over the front ..(damn long legs)

    Sleeping supplements?

    I'm awful when it comes to sleep... i have some form of sleep offset disorder where given no commitments i very comfortably fall into a 2am -> 11am sleep pattern and really struggle to sleep and wake earlier. I find melatonin and 5-HTP an hour before bed can help though.

    [Movie] Movie Review Thread

    American Beauty is indeed a classic, as is devils advocate, Charlize Theron is brilliant in that. I watched Flight last night... better than i expected actually, a few plausibility holes, but an enjoyable movie with pretensions to being deep.

    Some of us do from our physics and electronics studies :), We're just not authorised here to even run our own network cables :(

    What annoys you most about the fitness industry?

    Although to be fair, cert IV in anything doesn't prove anything, I did Cert IV in management a retarded 4 year old with blindfold on could have passed it., so a trainer with a cert IV doesn't necessarily know more than anybody else

    I use the lockjaw collars for deadlifts and attempts at powercleans at the gym. great, much better than spring collars!

    Sleeping supplements?

    If said prescription medication was required for a medical condition, wouldn't this be essentially discrimination?... do they get away with that because they are offshore? - I guess the first time somebody dies because their prescription medication was forbidden by a private company we might see...

    Glute Ham bench - GHD (Quality)

    Only briefly and err.. wasn't really strong enough to do a rep :)... but regardless, could not sufficently heavy leg curls work for the second part of the movement, and the first part is just a back extension right?

    How are they better than leg curls and hyper extensions?

    The strongest man you've never heard of

    Although he was carrying around over 300lbs at one point, that might allow for a lot of muscle, and then after he lost all the weight, maybe muscle memory kicked in? His Biceps are a bit nuts for natural though.

    The PB Thread

    I went for the Japanese setup to get a better arch, although i think i was setting up reasonably well before, but I went for the non japanese bar bath, moving it up and back. Previously i was pushing it more straight up and down and not finding the leverage 'sweet spot' ... Having found that, i...

    The PB Thread

    Looking pretty poor compared to Ink81's awesome bench... but i managed a rep PB today of 120kg x 2 ... After not benching for a while i can attribute this to Spritcha's guidance on bench setup and bar path (especially bar path).

    Watched Les Miserables again the other night (small screen this time)... great, but then again i'm a big les mis fan and would have liked it if it was performed by plasticine penguins. The Hobbit i saw at the Embassy in NZ (arguably the optimum theatre for a peter jackson movie since he...

    Powerlifting workshop- Melbourne

    Yep, good seminar, i got at least a couple useful pointers on each lift and slightly changed my thinking on how to improve my form on this (Aside from working on my much needed mobility), a better understanding of how to train to actually get somewhere and i'm sure more to sit in the back of my...
