    Australian Powerlifting Union thread

    Masters Games is a big unknown. The event organisers are looking at the contingency of running the powerlifting under the other tested federation. That would be an administrative compliance nightmare as both tested feds have anti affiliation rules. You normally have to be a member for a...

    Australian Powerlifting Union thread

    I have heard from others that APU has been run in a similar way to Wilks PA - like a personal fiefdom with autocratic processes. For a group of such physically strong people, it’s amazing how the members of these organisations allow themselves to be bullied and kept in the dark. Nobody...

    Australian Powerlifting Union thread

    ASC still recognises PA. That’s why PA gets to run the powerlifting at the Masters Games. Need more OCT. I have been tested just once over the last two years, in-competition. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hit an easy 161kg Bench in PA Meet on the weekend @103kg in 50-54 age division. Back is a bit buggered so only did bench. It’s my best bench since my accident and now that 160 has fallen I can realistically see 170+ in the near term. 180 at 105 is going to be difficult. My blood pressure is ok...

    Good going Dean I went 210-155-235 for 600 @105 in the PA Oceanias that were deferred until January this year. They held us all back to last year’s age groups so I didn’t get to lift in 50-54 as I can now. Next meet in less than two weeks time. Overdid it a bit racing to improve the total...

    Which Federation

    PA certainly tests, through Sports Integrity Australia. They even bothered to pull me aside for a piss test even though I’m hardly championship material. The testing works and PA has at least 8 lifters currently serving bans. I don’t think APU has busted anyone yet, which is strange as there...

    Neck pain

    After my cervical discetomy and fusion I tried everything. Lyrica, Palexia, Tramadol, Amitryptaline. Became dependant on the opioids, the amytriptaline made me want to eat a shotgun and life was just miserable. Then I discovered CBD oil. Haven’t needed any of the prescription drugs for nearly...

    Steroids - FAQ, and a thread for the n00bs.

    You have switched the topic to doctor-prescribed and doctor-administered TRT. The fake natty gym bros who abuse prescribed TRT at several times the therapeutic dosage are no different to the abusers of black market steroids. They can fuck off home back to their mummy and let the real men do the...

    Steroids - FAQ, and a thread for the n00bs.

    Just like junkies they live in denial. Messing with hormones alters behaviour. If they’re not roid raging, they are depressed or moody from all the ups and downs. People work away from their families to make money, and they don’t need to be dealing with some moody drug-injecting risk-taking...

    Steroids - FAQ, and a thread for the n00bs.

    They probably have to grow up, hold down a job and not use steroids. No one on a mine site wants some roided fuckhead jeapordising everyone’s safety. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Help needed

    You will have to show me in the IPF/APU/PA and ASADA rules just how you propose to get a TUE for exogenous testosterone. Connected? I have zero influence in powerlifting or ASADA. If you want to artificially enhance yourself with testosterone and “compete” with masters lifters who have...

    Help needed

    I wouldn’t call them gains- there are no personal bests to look forward to anymore; only maintenance and occasional hints of former strength. But at least it’s real. TRT is basically PED use. In the dosages some gym rats use, it is no different to the typical steroid abusers. If people want to...

    Charles poliquin dies at 57

    In my keyboard warrior haste to be noticed because I have no friends, I mistyped “homosexual” instead of “homoerotic”. i don’t know anything about homosexuality but hey, 50 bucks is 50 bucks.

    Who Actually Lifts?

    You betcha I’m arrogant and an authority on masculinity. (Have owned two balls and a dick for 48 years) If you feel that tossing a barbell around is the epitome of manliness, and the only way of colonising a docile body with masculinity is through a PL competition, I think you should feel around...

    Who Actually Lifts?

    I was planning on doing a lot of things that would add meaning to my life and improve the world around me. That particular aspiration ceased to have meaning. I’m busier than ever, doing more meaningful things and certainly don’t need to be pushing my body to 100% suffering more injury and pain...
