    Layne Norton's 'PHAT' routine

    Sorry to bump an old thread. After doing several months on 5x5 and PTC style training, I have now started doing PHAT. For those interested, I have designed an excel spreadsheet of the exercises I do and on which days. I have altered the program so it is only 4 days and have changed stuff around...

    lol @ Mehdi not being bigger because he doesn't take steroids

    LOL! UPDATE FROM MEHDI ONI! ;) Yesterday I shared this study that compared natural vs steroid gains, which proved that steroid is plain cheating. Maybe you got discouraged reading that the guys who trained three times a week without using drugs *only* gained four pounds of muscle in ten...

    lol @ Mehdi not being bigger because he doesn't take steroids

    *LOL! UPDATE* Every time I start another one of my rants about steroids and why you're a big cheater if you use them... ... some smartpants who got his steroid-education from watching "bigger stronger faster" gives me the good-old reply... "You still have to work hard on steroids!!!" No you...

    Workout program advice

    Your squat and deads seem pretty low in comparison to the rest mate. Have you tested 1RM? It might be time to give that a shot to not only see what you can do, but also spot all of your form flaws.

    Buying a quality barbell

    I looked at both latest models of them today. The only difference I could see is the Buddy Capps bar has a signature (autograph) on one of the end caps and the Troy doesn't.

    BENT AFTER 2 MONTHS! Force USA Commercial Grade Olympic Power Bar (1500lb)

    It turns out that the bar I originally had was discounted heavily. It was only $200, so it will cost me $400 to upgrade to the Texas. So at this stage I am going to just pay the bit extra and get an ABC bar. Anybody know a way to get one cheap?

    BENT AFTER 2 MONTHS! Force USA Commercial Grade Olympic Power Bar (1500lb)

    Great info. I contacted them today and they said to bring the bar back so they can assess the situation. The bar was a floor model so it might have already been bent! I just never noticed it Looking forward to the Texas bar now!

    BENT AFTER 2 MONTHS! Force USA Commercial Grade Olympic Power Bar (1500lb)

    Sweet, thanks guys. I will get the Texas. It's from Gym and Fitness and apparently on the site it says Troy, but somebody purchased one from them and it is in fact the Capps. I did it on finance, so no refund can be given per se. I would be getting ABC if I could but the Texas will have to do

    BENT AFTER 2 MONTHS! Force USA Commercial Grade Olympic Power Bar (1500lb)

    After testing my 1RM on Deadlift (160kg) Squat (120kg) and Bench (80kg) I have noticed that my Force USA Commercial Grade Olympic Power Bar (1500lb) is no longer straight. I never dump my deadlifts and I have never dropped the bar on to the safeties. I am going to take the bar in there today...

    Burley Hawk

    That would actually be really interesting. Imagine them dumping 1500-2000 lbs off their back and in to the spotters. Would start to get very tricky to judge and fit people in to spot lol

    :( Rib injury coming out of the hole on squats

    Hello everyone, Over the last 3 weeks I have been testing my 1RM for the big 3. I have been lifting for 4 months and decided it was time to test my strength and form. DEADLIFT was on week 1 and I managed to lift up 160kg x 3 with breaks in between. The first one was average form, but I still...

    How much P/C/F are you ppl eating?

    I am 98kg and 23% BF and I was eating around the same amount of calories as you. If anything I was maintaining my weight but there was a very small amount of muscle gain, so obviously there was also a small amount of fat loss. Did it for a while. I am now trying the Elliot Hulse hybrid approach...

    How much P/C/F are you ppl eating?

    I like the look of that ratio. It looks like it could be used perfectly for healthy weight loss / maintenance and gain with calorie control
