    "speed training"

    Yeah I get what you were doing, just that the article was about how the Team Jugg members USE them. Not all of them did use them, which is fine, but most of them did at one point or another in their training. Then based their opinion on their experiences with them. Anybody that...

    Recommended Readings

    They are both very good books, ebooks can be found on the Bay from memory. The hard copys set me back about $60 each. The WS4SB series (Westside 4 Skinny Bastards) by Joe Defranco is available on the web for free. The EliteFTS Bench Press Manual is a good read. And on a sort of related...

    "speed training"

    Lol pretty much every quote is from a JTS article, apart from the Mike T one, so you barely dug anything up dude. Just copied and pasted. Also the article is about how Team Juggernaut use them, if and when appropriate like I have said. It's a shame you didn't mention Greg Panora's view though...

    Get these, they're based on the Ivanko plates and look great. Not hard to handle at all.

    T NATION | CAT, Plyo, and Board Presses: Keys to an Explosive Bench I saw somebody mentioned Hatfield as the early advocates of CAT (Compensatory Acceleration Training), and he did not have access to bands and chains as far as I know. But thanks to the GTO (golgi tendon organ) without the use...

    Hand Grippers

    That same seller had the ones I was talking about. $60 for ANY 4, and $70 for ANY 5... Seems a bit pointless to have a gripper going all the way to 500lbs when there are only 5 people in the world that can close a COC No 4 (365lbs).

    Hand Grippers

    If you're not going to be doing comps with the COC's then get a set of heavy grips from eBay for $60-$70. If you get 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 grippers you should be set. I'm about 4mm from closing on the 250 which is in between a COC 2.5 and a COC 3. Have closed a friends COC 2.5 but it...

    Nevermind the email then haha. Shame I was about 12 months too early then, ah well all good now I guess. Have they done it to that bigger Commercial rack too mate??

    Barbell curl

    +1 for the 50+ rep BB curl sets. Using equipment that you wouldn't normally consider for curls are some of my favourites. KB Curls with supinated grip change the strength curve just enough in the top ROM to make it very different to regular DB Curls. KB Hammer Curls. The bell must stay...

    Help a beginner purchase some kit!

    Email Graeme at info@littleblokefitness.com.au and ask about the 1210 rack. Checked shipping to Brisbane 4000 from his website (dont know your Pcode obviously) and only $120. I'd probably buy plates, bar and anything else local though. The Force USA rack is better. BUT only if you can get the...

    CREATINE - Magic or Myth

    98 serves for around $80 is the best priceI could find and is a little on the ridiculous side isn't it. You can get 4kg delivered for the same price from BN! That's about a year and a half supply for me. Anything that almost anyone needs to know is in the below videos Getting The Most From...

    CREATINE - Magic or Myth

    Yes, definitely agree on Creatine Monohydrate (CM) as the current superior Creatine available. I say current cause you really never know haha It's the form that has been most researched, and has been piggybacked by some companies using CM studies as a basis for their own products, I know of...

    CREATINE - Magic or Myth

    Agree with Taurus, it is very individual. A small percentage will not react at all to rate limiting substrates like creatine mono and beta alanine. Hopefully everyone knows now that if you don't want to risk the possibility of gastro-intestinal distress you can opt for just 5g a day instead of...

    Just some experience before you buy anything... The ForceUSA Rack is good, lots of band attachments and short spacing between pins. I've been recently told there are 1210mm width rack's available. I have a 1290 and its shithouse with a normal bar so I got the different bar made up by Aus BB...

    16 year old wanting to change

    Well first, I'm assuming that it's not 3 hours straight running right? Hopefully your coach isn't turning you into a Marathon runner lol Anyway, the more running/sprinting you do just means that you'll have to take into account that your energy expenditure will rise. So eat a little more to...
