    The only gyms I can think of worth going to in Adelaide are Limbos Gym, City Gym, Fast Twitch and Australian Muscle are currently under way to opening a gym. The gym you are referring to is Fortius Gym from memory, I've never been there and I actually haven't heard it mentioned for a few years.

    Weird thing happened today...

    Swap the rower out for a spin bike, then squat just the bar, add weight and drop reps as you go. I usually do 5 mins spin bike (30% max hr), 20-30 reps with the bar, 10 reps @ 60kg, 8 reps @ 80kg, then my working sets.

    5x5 questions

    I'm currently doing 5x5 for heavy bench, squat and deadlifts with some light 3x10 work on bench and squats on seperate days. It's actually working really well and I'm progressing nicely on all lifts.

    Powerlifting, a paralympic sport

    There as some very questionable sports in the Olympics, I can't really see why Powerlifting isn't really being concidered. I'd be happy if it was just the deadlift and the squat.

    I'm a lot more focused on my own that's for sure. I know what I have to do and I get it done. It's just me, some iron and some heavy metal with abit of grunting :)

    Training Partners

    I train alone and think that I'm a better lifter for it. I occasionally have my mate around to train with and it's great to catch up but I feel at my strongest when I'm alone, I also have more motivation alone. In saying that, I wish I had a spotter when doing HEAVY sets.

    Deadlifts using a deadlift lever machine

    It looks like it could be used well with higher rep deadlifts. Using it for any less than 5 reps is retarded though.

    Very nice set-up mate. Racks look very nice in black and it should hide the scratches well.

    Strongman Grading Events - Aus Wide

    Sorry, I'm stilll a little confused. If I choose to do say a 200kg Yoke, I only have to move it to 1.5m then I can move on to the other event? Is there a total distance to aim for? The last SM comp I did I'm pretty sure the Yoke was 30m.

    Triceps make up 2/3 of the upper arm. Triceps are meant to be bigger than your biceps ;)
