    FID Bench with Curl Attachment

    Hey guys, money aside, which one of the following would you go with? I'm looking for a flat, incline and decline bench that I can also use for bicep curls (using attachment). I guess decline is not crucial. I found the following benches: (also your welcome to make other recommendations) Weight...

    Shoulder Pain & numb fingertips

    I was doing dumbbell shoulder press (pretty sure this was the culprit) and from memory I was going to failure and just pushed too hard and my form was all over the place. I don't recall feeling any sharp pain at this point. But as a result I had a bad nerve type pain whenever I had my arm in a...

    EZ Curl bar for pansies?

    So basically I'm new to bodybuilding and just wondering what the general consensus is with the EZ Curl bar, is it for pussies? If so then I won't get one and stick with the barbell :) At my local gym my trainer made me use a thick foamy thing on my upper back for squatting, but after i read...

    Weird thing happened today...

    So as per my usual routine, I do squats 3 times a week (Mon, Wed, Fri). Each session consists of 3 sets, 1st set = 10reps, 2nd set = 8reps and 3rd set = 6 reps. So this morning I did a warm up of about 5 reps with approx 50kg's. Then I jumped straight into my working set with around 95kg's. With...

    P90x vs Power Rack

    So my cousin has fallen victim to the P90x program and I'm trying to convert him to lifting weights like you know, a man! Sorry ladies of ausBB, I mean, like a real "person" :p He's not fat and he's quite strong for the limited amount of lifting experience he has so I thought the P90x is not...

    A newbies rack!

    So you may recall this thread regarding open vs closed racks. I ended up going with the muscle motion closed rack and basically my kids messy play area has gone from this: to this: and something to give me a hand with chinups:

    Open top vs closed racks

    Hai guys, I'm in Brisbane and want a rack (apart from the one on my missus :p). As far as I know there is nothing of decent quality up here so after hearing all the good reviews about Gym Direct, I'll make my purchase from them. So I'm 5"10 which probably won't matter much but which of the...
