    Supplement Stacks Bulk Nutrients

    I normally just purchase protein powder and use this to help me hit my daily allowance. Occasionally I use a pre work out now and then if I'm feeling flat. Haven't really been into purchasing all the other bells and whistles as I personally don't know if it would be of benefit to me. Are they...

    Dynamometer Hand Grip Tester

    I used one of these for the first time the other day at the hand therapist. My left hand was measured at 52 and my right injured hand was 11kg. I wonder what the maximum someone has squeezed these things. Some of the big deadlifters would have to have this thing going off the dial. Anyone use...

    Farmers Walk

    I have never done this exercise. How far/distance do you normally carry these for. I was thinking about making a set. Would this exercise help increase your grip strength? Thoughts from people who use these. Cheers

    Phil Rudd AC/DC Piggybacks On Security Guard

    Phil Rudd...he looks like he has been on the glass flute for the last fortnight. Jumps in his car leaving court and a truck nearly rear ends him. Fame and Fortune unfortunately leads people to the highway to hell.

    What's you prefered calf exercise? Since training at home I have only been doing standing calf raises in a power rack. However I felt like I could really squeeze my calves more on a seated press. Unfortunately I do not have one of these. Do you train them and if so what is your exercise of...

    Dips...Parallel bar or V neck bar?

    Does it matter if you use Parallel bars or dip bars that shape to a V? The only reason I can see with V shape dip stations is that you can adjust your grip width. And what is the correct width you should use? I have heard as a general rule of thumb is to use a width that is the same as the...

    Prefered Internal Power Rack Dimensions?

    I'm knocking up my own power rack and just needed some info on the internal depth that is preferred. I was considering 1000mm internal. I think some racks I have used have been anything from 700mm to 1000mm. I prefer a bit more room in a rack personally. If anyone has a rack that they can...
