    Back after a long break

    Hi Guys, Some might have been around long enough to remember when I used to post here about a decade ago. Yep, a decade. At the time I was training PTC PPP and got to some numbers I was happy with but then life happened. Work got really crappy and I fell out of gym routine altogether. This...

    MikeW's 2012 Body Transformation

    Hey team, There needs to be an old rogue or two in this field, so here goes. I reckon I'm a shoe in for the Masters... OK, age 42, height 168cm (5'6") and current weight is 72.8kg. Best lifts are S 130, B 90, D 167. Dimensions, wouldn't have a clue. My goal is to keep ticking up those PBs...

    My 2200 cal bulking diet using Max's guidelines

    Guys, Just spotted Pistachio's thread so thought I'd throw my current diet plan up there too for critique. I used Max's maintenance plus 15% guideline for calculating my target cals and also his 2.5g/kg for proteins and 0.85g/kg fats minimum too. Here's how I calculated my target cals...

    2011 lifting goals

    Hi Guys, Well its almost the end of another year. Time to reflect on how you went against your 2010 goals and to be bold and set your 2011 goals. Go on record and tell the forum what you're going to achieve next year. We can check back this time in 2011 and see how we all went against our...

    9 months, limited gains... Eat more? Help appreciated.

    Hi Guys, Almost didn't post this thread as its a bit disappointing to reflect on my gains from the last 9 months. But I need some guidance so thought I'd put it out there. Here's my first post in my log from January 2010: Bodyweight 77kg All 1rm not tested, but estimate at 110kg squat...

    Should I be worried about a Test score of 17

    Doesn't sound too shabby and the GP said it was in the healthy range. Would be nice to be at 40 odd though... Thoughts? Cheers, Mike

    Hi Guys, I'm going to add a second bench day to my week in prep for the October bench comp in Brisbane. I'll stick with Markos' PPP for one day but need to do a second session to compliment PPP. Any ideas? Markos suggested speed, lockout and assistance work for the second day but I have...

    Have Juicer, will Juice...

    Any recipes for my new fancy juicer? Just bought a Breville 850w one on eBay. Nice unit, picking it up on Saturday and looking forward to juicing up a storm. I use a blender for my shakes with oats and stuff, but would be interested in how people have used their juicers and what sort of...

    The body recomposition equation, goal lifts for goal size

    Hi Guys, Nice little web page I just stumbled upon after following another link in this other thread. The following link shows a formula for calculating in rough terms what your goal lifts should be in dead/squat/bench based on your target bodyweight and bodyfat percent. The body...

    Worried about Powerlifting for Bodybuilding

    Guys, Enjoying doing my powelifting PPP programme at the moment, just set a 140kg dead 1rm on Saturday, but am a bit worried about the end product it will produce. A couple of mates have warned it will pop my rib cage and give me that fat trunk look which I don't like. I'm lifting for...

    Mike's Diet

    Hi Guys, OK, finally trying to get more scientific about my diet. To date I've just tried to have 6 meals a day and aim for a serve of protein in each so I can get my 180gm a day. But the downside to that is I eat too many carbs and fats and sometimes miss the protein serves when things get...

    Is it just a strained abdominal?

    Hi Guys, Another day another injury... About a week ago I strained my gut while doing squats. I didn't think much of it at the time, just tied them in the wrong way, sort of at the top instead of at the bottom, and then when I lowered the weight at max work set I felt the upper left...
