    It's painful to read that, MikeW. Slap yourself for me.

    Double Ply

    I've benched next to Minh before. I have the weakest bench by far at the club but Minh used the same weight raw as me. :p He's a master of technique in the shirt. I believe he trains his bench like the Japanese lifters do, who also get huge amounts from shirts.

    [Article] Shoulder Health

    Have some imagination, people! Lifting a big arse rock up to smash some guy on the ground. Lifting some guy overhead then throwing him over a cliff. Lifting your kids up for the cavemissus on the treehouse or higher up cave to get them to safety. Same as above but substitute kids with...

    STFU i want guns...

    Me: 16" on the right, 15.5" on the left. Uneven guns :( Rarely train arms in isolation except the occasional curls (35kg for 3x8 max). Maybe I should. I want 18" like ceffo! :p Maybe Markos should write PTC GGG (Goin' Great Gunz?) due to overwhelming demands in this thread?

    Which Oly / wieghtlifting shoes to go for?

    FYI, I tried the Do-Win and they're perfect for my low bar squat.

    Ab Wheel. It's the in thing at my powerlifting club atm.

    [Article] Shoulder Health

    I trust Bill Starr and Mark Rippetoe over Defranco. I feel a lot better wrt shoulders doing overhead pressing and upperback work twice a week, as Bill Starr prescribed.

    Can't move up in my squat weight!!!

    dr00, wow, we almost have identical lifts - down to the MP and 20 rep squats - at the same BW!

    Can't move up in my squat weight!!!

    Colour me surprised that a newbie squatting bugger all has "great form". I've seen veterans in the lifting game squatting well over 300kg still working on their form. No you don't have great form, and as Rip would say, YNDTFP.

    Which Oly / wieghtlifting shoes to go for?

    My dorsiflexion is pretty good (Asian genes :p ). I have no problem squatting to depth with flat shoes, but the Oly shoes feel more stable. I'm currently squatting in a pair of Adidas Superstar, with very slight heels. Might borrow someone's Do-Win and give them a try.

    Which Oly / wieghtlifting shoes to go for?

    Not all Oly shoes are made the same, mate. The Risto have thicker heels than the rest. I have a size 9 pair and the heels are 1.25". Heels get thicker as the size increases too. That pair is great for high bar squatting (I used to do that), front squat and other Oly stuff, but pretty bad for...

    So You Think You Can Bench?

    Very good series. I need to focus more on getting super tight. Never understood the pull the bar apart thing, but the band has given me some ideas.

    Which Oly / wieghtlifting shoes to go for?

    Not the best for low bar powerlifting squat. Do you ever read the threads you post in?

    Come on Jackie Chan, uh uh uh uh uh oh!

    He's 39 years old in that movie (Rumble in the Bronx). I grew up watching his movies and always wanted to be as ripped & strong.

    Which Oly / wieghtlifting shoes to go for?

    Not good for low bar squatting.

    Which Oly / wieghtlifting shoes to go for?

    I just saw that there's the Rippetoe Weightlifting Shoes with 0.5" heels, designed for low bar medium stance squat. It's on the Rogue Fitness US website, but not on the Australian store.

    Which Oly / wieghtlifting shoes to go for?

    I squat low bar with a slightly wider than shoulder width stance. Have no flexibility problem though. You'll do better with the 3/4 inch heels. With the higher heels (I have a pair of Risto which is just over 1"), I feel like it's very easy to get tipped over.

    Low Bar Squat

    Plenty of ppl squat low bar narrow stance at my club, even some of the very tall ones (6'3"). I have a slightly wider than shoulder stance though. If you have a problem with the wrists, get some wrist wraps. That fixed it for me.

    ProRaw Training

    Saw a big guy at my club reverse curl 115kg then press it overhead. I asked him what he was doing. He thought he was doing a clean & jerk. :D Strong mofo.
