    Stretch Shortening Cycle

    The stretch shortening cycle can be applied to virtually all movements - from picking up a barbell, pressing it, squatting it, or even to throwing a tennis ball. Do you utilise the power of the stretch shortening cycle in your lifts? I only recently learned what it is, and found that, by...

    Training At Melbourne Uni

    I've popped my head in at Melbourne Uni a few times now, and am very impressed. The equipment is fantastic - Eleiko. The lifters there are extremely supportive. Everyone's big lifts are watched and cheered. The big lifters offer critique, advice, tips, and seem to want to see everyone around...

    Waxy Maize Starch --- Taste

    I bought some Waxy Maize Starch the other day online. It arrived yesterday. I've just made Fadi's PWO drink of 25g WMS, 6g WPI and 400mLs of water. I literally can't stomach the overwhelming taste of yeast... Is there anything else to have with this product to make it bearable???! Is...

    Front Squats + Power Cleans = Knee & Wrist Pain

    On 30th December, I switched to front squats due to my core being very weak and impacting on my back squat form. From the beginning, I have had sore knees. Well, sometimes just a dull ache, sometimes a bit sorer, and sometimes to the stage that I have to brace myself to stand up from the...

    Where do you guys buy dextrose? I've had a look in our supermarket and also checked out a local health store... Nothing? Is there anywhere to buy it online at a reasonable price? (ie not branded as a supplement!)

    Caffeine in Protein Shake

    Hullo, Will putting coffee into my protein shakes have an impact on the way my body utilises the protein? It tastes great - but I have a feeling in the back of my mind that I've read somewhere that it increases cortisol? Aaron. EDIT - Would de-caf granules be better?

    What's on your mind...

    ... During working sets? I picture a 2.5kg weight. Because that's what is trying to beat me. I've already conquered the rest. Cheers, Aaron.

    Is 0.7xBW acceptable for UDL's?

    Just wondering if 70% bodyweight is ok for a first try at UDLS? 3 years, 5 months, 11.4kg. Not bad I think? Cheers, Aaron.

    Bands

    I'd bet my left nut that this has been covered already. However, when I search 'bands' there's about a gazillion posts that come up. Chins - I can't even do a single one :eek: I've had a look on a couple of sites for bands and they seem very expensive for what they are (although I'm sure...

    Girl Arms

    Hello Hello :) My name is Aaron, and I have girl arms. I understand I might get shot for asking about BB curls in the strength section (but it is relative!) I am currently doing a full body workout 3x per week (for details, see my log). I know that the compound lifts will develop biceps. I've...
