    AusBB pullup and chinup comps

    Cheers. I'll have to have another go from the fixed bar at the park. See if we can't make it to 20. I like my door frame one but it does flex a little. Always more comfortable not having to lift you feet off the floor too.

    Changing from starting stength

    Hey, looks like you have had plenty of advice, I have read most of the thread, but I may have missed this but I had to ask: Is there no way you can fit in a workout either Fri, Sat or Sun? I would make that the priority if possible, rather than confusing yourself with the myriad of split...

    Let’s Lose Some Fat Mass…

    Wow eerie, i just had achilles tendon issues myself (sharp pain in the back of the heel) last week. Yep I reckon it was due to me not stretching my calves, and the sharp increase in sprints A trainer told me a way to treat it is to massage the calf muscle, rubbing downwards to help release the...

    Do you have a set routine?

    For last month or so I've been winging it while i've been trying to drop bodyfat by doing more sprints (which worked) I've just been going in knowing i will squat first, then either press or dip, then either row or pullup I'm going to find my log book and record everything again soon tho

    Let’s Lose Some Fat Mass…

    I just wanted to post that I LOVE doing Fadi's 10 minute workout. It's the only "cardio" that i do at all My preference is 10 second sprints on grass parkland which is 5 minutes "brisk walk" from my house. sprint for 10 seconds and walk back, i'm not strict about 50 seconds rest, whatever time...

    What do you consider as being "strong"?

    It's kinda like asking 'how much money do you need to be called "rich"' A poor person thinks having $100 in the bank is pretty rich A millionaire thinks you have to have two private jets

    Topic of the Week -How Are Bodybuilding And Powerlifting Similar And Different?

    Powerlifter: Concerned with lifting as much weight as possible in the Squat, bench, deadlift. Nothing else matters Bodybuilder: Concerned witht the size, proportion and symetry of their muscles, as well as their bodyfat level so as to show as much muscle as possible. Strength does not matter...

    Coaching the clean.

    Nice vid. Have you emphasised the need for the bar to touch the front of her thigh before the second pull? I personally found this a good way to avoid over use of the arms. I personally agree with Hawkpeter. When I first learnt the powerclean I was all about thinking SPEED SPEED SPEED...

    Tom Platz fan

    Yeah thanks. I think of Platz as the upside down Arnold of is time. His legs were just so far ahead of hthe rest, freakishly big. Probably too big. Just looking at old bb pics, other bb'ers looked like they had chicken legs compared to his. He should go into movies, he looks like the perfect...

    Curious why guys do this

    According to Arnold himself he went from ignoring calves to training them 6 days a week, spending 45mins on them a day doing calf raises, donkeys etc. Thats what he said made his calves respond. If squatting and deadlifting big brought out his calves he would never had to resort to training them...

    Curious why guys do this

    The Governator would disagree with you. I have noticed a diff in calves when I have trained them alot...but its alot of time and effort for such a little muscle all the way down there. Effort that could be better used elsewhere
