    Posterior Chain

    Cause that's what all the broz and one direction douchebags want these days man... The Hypertrophy haha And if you really wanna get down to it, there are certain differences between building muscle and strength but I think it's a little off topic. Exactly the way I was saying to do, can be...

    Boxjumps as an accessory

    Lol the Reds, havent heard of them in ages. Yeah, same thing with Bosu's and now it's 24hr gyms that don't even have barbells. Melbourne is going to shit. Don't worry about google lol, leave it to those who know it best. Try what I said in that first post, it's a good start. Progression is...

    Power Cleans

    **palms forehead** I'm not saying it's an upright row like a bodybuilder see's. Using it just to reference what type of movement it is. Would explosive vertical pull suit you better?? If you read my first post, you'd notice I said that hang cleans were better if he was trying to get some...

    CAPO Nat Deadlift Comps Dec

    Just thought I'd start a thread to see who was planning to going to any of these comps this weekend either as competitors or spectators. They are in TAS, NSW, VIC and QLD this coming Saturday December 8th. WA had theirs yesterday, and if anyone knows results post them up. I'm planning on...

    Boxjumps as an accessory

    Agree 100%. Thanks to the Fitness First generation of PT's every bloke and his dog knows about plyo's. The amount of eccentric muscle damage caused by them after even a mild session is ridiculous. So bigger guys get the worst of it because the weight absorbed is proportional to the damage...

    Bench pressing

    Fixed. "It appears that the portion of the pectoral muscle recruited during the bench press is dependent on the direction relative to the trunk in which the muscle must pull the humerus" Glass, S.C, and T. Armstrong. Electromyographical activity of the pectoralis muscle during incline and...

    Force USA Power Rack

    Yeah you could, but if you're tall ish it could be annoying with feet hitting the floor. That's pretty cheap, I paid $730 delivered for mine. BUT if I had the choice again I'd get a different rack. Probably one of the Cyber Fit 400kg ones for $495. Only because barbells dont fit properly cause...

    Boxjumps as an accessory

    Wow, thats a mad jump dude. Yeah some of the bigger jumpers are 40+'s but Kobe, for example, is around 37-8 from memory. Best AFL draftee is mid 80cm range, some kid this year. Oh and the highest Vert in the world is by a guy who is 5'11". Good box jumps are 45"+. Some of the guys in the...

    Posterior Chain

    At no point in my comment did I mention Stiff Legged DeadLift's, I mentioned Romanian DeadLifts. As I recently said in another thread, they are two similar yet subtly different exercises. SLDL's keep the legs completely perpendicular to the floor, hence the name STIFF, with no movement of the...

    Posterior Chain

    Good exercise dude but the focus is on thoracic extension rather than lumbar. Trying to get bigger bands around your torso on that is one of the most annoying things I know of. Well that's a imbalance you don't hear every day lol. But certainly a better one to have. Do you mind if I ask who...

    Power Cleans

    It's an explosive upright row with the decreased chance of injury thanks to the most dangerous point of the standard movement coincidentally being the point at which you pull yourself under the bar in order to catch it.

    Ah Louie =) All good vids btw man! Have all of them in favourites lol. Ill sort through them one day and link a playlist. Probably close to 300 videos relating to PL, training motivation and general badassery. Side note, I actually got flamed on a Crossfit Fail video for saying Shane Sweatt...

    90cm vertical? That's 90cm under your feet, not onto a 90cm box right? Only asking because the NBA combine's top Verts have been 92cm and 96cm for the last two years and that would make you part of the top percentile. People will tend to have the ability to grind or to be more explosive. If...

    Power Cleans

    Pretty sure Wendler has said this before with the BBB assistance template. Squats as 5/3/1 then Deadlift or variation of for 5x10. Opposite for your deadlift day. It depends what type of Clean you're doing as to where it would be best placed. Hang Cleans or muscle Clean do it on an OHP day. Or...

    Bench pressing

    Some do it because they like hitting the harder of the two movements first so the muscles involved are already somewhat fatigued when they get to regular bench. If it's a Monday, then it's highly likely that all Flat Benches are taken and only Inclines are available =)

    Flat bench, 30cm-32cm wide, options?

    Well I've a few DIY pieces for my gym and if you do it right it'll come out great. Not sure how you'd do it with pailings, but I'd go with F17 studs bolted back to back for the supports. 1 support at the bottom, 2 at the top. Sorta like this without the uprights. Homemade weight lifting bench...

    Benching

    Nice work man. Not too far off 1.5bw. You do tuck pretty well at the start from what I can see at that angle . But then at the bottom you flare you elbows out to 90 really early instead of maintaining the tuck and flaring at the mid point. Another thing is taking two different breaths when...
