    "Upper body squat"

    Annoying you're part of the small benching percentage I mentioned in passing, but with Dips like that who cares. Awesome effort!

    Your last name wouldn't happen to be Gillard would it?? Cause you dodge like a politician. By your own words, you think your opinion is almost worthless... Your opinion, when stated, is the same as these strong guys you mention... Strong guys opinions, the same as yours, are worthless? Why...

    "Upper body squat"

    The bench press is an internationally known movement. Monday in gyms all over the world is Chest day (Except for Communist Russia lol). Think of how many YouTube bloopers you have seen with failed benches. There's a few with pullups, I can recall only 1 from a dip. How many people here can...

    "Upper body squat"

    Yeah, I remember reading an awesome article on Jones and Viator ages ago. How Arnold trained there and couldn't handle it lol. If I remember where it was, I'll like it. Do you know anywhere in Melb that has an original?? Also if that's full stack, why's the pin extend down alot further?

    While it's good to know what Carter has to say on the subject, it is still SOMEBODY ELSE'S OPINION. So why don't you compose your own words, not those that are given by another person or spewed from Google. Box squats: They won't give carryover unless used properly. Many people use a...

    "Upper body squat"

    Pullup/Chinup and it's variations. Some obviously harder than the standards like Sternum/Gironda Pullups or L sits which brings some lower body into play. Although I haven't tried machine pullovers on an original Nautilus. They'd be fun though. Goosey, love the Viator vid. Guy was a beast.

    Going off the top of my head I know of a 600lb front squatter who back squats 800lb (75%). Koklaev is 312.5kg FS and 360kg back squat (87%). So I'd say it would be nice to have 85% but not necessarily imbalance/weakness. You would be around 80% going off your 110x3 and 135x1. So if your above...

    Off topic, but I really respect the manners Fadi. Shows a lot of class. Reminds me of Samuel L. Jackson in Coach Carter.

    Nice work kaz! Keto can be "fun" :p, but it's even worse for you girls cause you tend to really hang on to your glycogen stores! Going from glyco to keto takes a lot less time for guys (3-4 days compared to ~7 days). So stick with it and bring on the results :D

    The moons gravity is approx 1/6th of the earths. Your best meet lifts would weigh ~67kg all up on the moon. So not a good carryover there man lol Honestly man, it sounds like you pay attention to the words you WANT to hear. Bands and chains aren't a magic tool that'll give you awesome...

    SPF to become USA's GPC affiliate

    Yeah there are 2 decisions that are on the vid, honestly don't know if all the others were passed or not. It's a funny vid though, thats why I linked it =) Yeah from the live feeds, and vids I've seen from the Raw sections of the ST meets they've been pretty good. So agreed, definitely looking...

    SPF to become USA's GPC affiliate

    While I love watching the American's do their thing, this really says something about it SPF Squat Compilation - YouTube Another thing, I'd hate to be a judge on that Wilkerson squat, or any squat by a 400lb dude. You'd have trouble telling whats what wouldn't you??

    Benching

    Freako, as an almost 2x bw bencher, do you just pick a grip width and stick with it? Or use more than one grip fairly often?
