    Thanks, probably could have done a few more reps. Always feels harder at the time, then after when watching the video.

    Weekly Poll #12 - What percentage of your daily Protein intake comes from shakes?

    Exactly, I already knew that and was never expecting it too. All i'm saying is I saw no difference anywhere but the wallet.

    Weekly Poll #12 - What percentage of your daily Protein intake comes from shakes?

    I personally think the whole protein shake stuff is a load of crap. When I started training I didn't take any for over a year, then I took them all the time and now I have stopped again. My strength or size gains didn't change when taking them or not. Same thing for those pre and post workout...

    Close grip bench press for triceps

    I'm personally not convinced it really uses the triceps more then wide/normal grip bench. Whenever I fail a wide grip bench its always the lockout/top half of the lift, which is the triceps. In that case I should bench less with a close grip correct? Well I always bench equal and often more...

    Money or life?

    Yeah, providing those 1-5 people share some similar interests to me. I just find it really hard to talk/socialize with people who's idea of fun is getting drunk every weekend.

    Money or life?

    Its not that I don't have friends/know people, or that I don't have any other interest but weightlifting (I have plenty of other stuff). Its just when I go out I don't enjoy it at all, probably because I have nothing to say/do. I much prefer going to work, or the gym or tafe then going to a...

    Money or life?

    Honestly i'm just too boring of a person to be the party/going out type. I go out somewhere and have nothing I want to say/do. Unless the people i'm with lift, thats about the only time I could find something to say, even then.

    If you only had space for one piece of exercise equipment, what would you get?

    Calf raise machine. Nah serious answer would be a barbell with weights ofc. You can still do a shit load of exercises with that.

    Odd lifts Discussion

    Sweet, i'v done 40kg+ before. Can't remember exactly, will try again one day and get a video. Could have gone more, but we ran out of room for 5kg's on the DB.

    Odd lifts Discussion

    Just want to clear up about the single arm DB overhead, now is that a strict press - as in zero leg drive. Or can it be push pressed? I understand the no dip under it part (like a jerk), just want to be sure before I try it.

    Money or life?

    I'v thought about a fair bit over the years, when I was younger (16-18) I was more leaning towards life. However due to my personality (or lack of it) that didn't really workout, so now i'm more about making money and saving it. If I change my mind later in life, at least i'll have plenty of...

    Strong Bench Press

    Guys he's running a new lift from EliteFTS, you bench with arm mainly. Hence over loading the arm.

    Topic of the Week - How Important Is Warming Up?

    I never do any real stretching when warming up or foam rolling. My warm up starts with the bar for whatever lift i'm about to, adding weight every time until I get to my working sets. Cool down, I don't do anything. Maybe some light stretching if i'm feeling overly tight etc. Most nights...
