    Flat Feet Issues with Deadlifts

    It doesn't matter how you place for feet, as in shoulder or hip width apart etc. As long as it works for you.

    Dan Macri - Australia's Strongest Man

    With that cambered bar and a box with foam on it, I doubt it was any easier then a normal straight bar squat.

    Dan Macri - Australia's Strongest Man

    Agreed, I personally think all those bar's are a gimmick (except the bulldog bar and similar bars that are just really strong normal bars). If Andrey Malanichev can reach a 450kg raw squat without bloody bow bars, bandbells bar and cambered bar, then clearly I won't need them. I could be...

    Good call, I was expecting that one. Those my 50kg plates a bit more useful then those bars mentioned before.

    Leg extensions redundant?

    Why on earth is someone who has stick legs bothering doing leg extensions? Fuck that, just squat, whether it is back or front.

    AUSBB Powerlifting and Weightlifting Leaderboard

    Pretty much ever since I knew they existed I wanted them. Very expensive though, about $7 per KG once you pay for shipping.

    AUSBB Powerlifting and Weightlifting Leaderboard

    I agree it wasn't the best form/pass in a competition. Don't bother adding it this thread its not like it was impressive if done right anyway. Just want to add that, that was my first time ever doing snatches with zero coaching or anyone around who can do them lol. Also yes those are my...

    AUSBB Powerlifting and Weightlifting Leaderboard

    Put me down for a 60kg snatch, bad form but good enough for this? Have also clean and jerked 85kg, but no video so don't bother adding it. Form is better now, but still building it up again after my spine injury. Hoping for around 90kg/120kg this year. Dan snatches 60kg - YouTube

    Stuffed after training..

    I normally still feel fine after upper body training, ie bench press and military press. But squats and deadlifts are a lot more taxing.

    Advice on next program

    Looking at your lifts I'd say sticking to a linear program would be good and easy enough. Did 80kg last week, do 82.5kg this week etc. If you can only do 3 days a week do SS or PTC Beginners program. On the topic of 531, I think it is a good program if you make some changes to suit you...

    The Dream Gym Thread

    Still don't under stand why you think the Eleiko bar is better? Just because it has different/normal ring markings? Also I would only get chrome plated 50kg's, the other makes it harder to tell the weight of a bar. Can't tell if they are 20kg's or 25kg's.

    The Dream Gym Thread

    I used one at the CAPO QLD States last year, I didn't mind the different ring markings. As far as I know they cost the same as Eleiko, so not much difference.

    What / who compromises your program?

    Very rarely do things get in the way of my training. I'd say because I like to plan things out in advance. However the main thing that compromises my training would be injuries.

    the what u saw at the gym TODAY thread

    Still, even then I can't imagine someone failing 10kg less.
