Although, would you recommend starting back from scratch at something like SS or just start with a bit of weight on go slow at...

    Newbies fire away your questions

    Not sure if this is the right place to post this but seems like the most general place to question. Use to post on here a while back, did a fair bit of lifting when i was at school mainly doing SS, 5/3/1, Texas method etc. Now work full time doing carpentry and train and compete in jiu jitsu...

    Strength training in regards to a physical job.

    Thanks for the help. I remember reading that article a long time ago when i first signed up here but it was good to refresh myself and read over it again and it all makes good sense. I'll be focusing on that from now on with my schedule, powerlifting did me a lot of good but i don't have the...

    Strength training in regards to a physical job.

    My main concern for asking this was because i'm having trouble with progressing my lifts and even making it to training as i am staying away from home usually 3 days a week. This makes things really hard with eating enough to fuel myself through 12+ hours of physical work + progressing in...

    Strength training in regards to a physical job.

    Yep i thought i would be fine then first day then probably 2 hours in my 65 year old boss was laughing at me calling me a pussy lol. Going on 2 years in now things are better but just trying to sort out whether my strength training is really beneficial to me anymore, now that i'm running low on...

    Strength training in regards to a physical job.

    Just wanted to raise something thats come to my mind lately. I'm currently working as a carpenter which is a fairly physical job while strength training and training jiu jitsu. I had a question for anybody who was interested, what are your thoughts on powerlifting/strength training and its...

    How long was it before you really started seeing results in your progress?

    i didn't realize as much until people started asking me if i train and then i kind of realized that the scale was reading like 10kg heavier than before, this was like from 0-6 months of training from never touching a barbell

    Muay Thai Fight/Program

    A traditional training day for my gym and a lot of thai gyms over there would be a long run to start followed by skipping, bag work, pad work, thai clinching and then pushups/situps at the end with select days of sparring rounds. The HIIT does seem like a good idea, although i wont be able to...

    Muay Thai Fight/Program

    Makes sense. Yeah i'm focusing on my fitness at the moment, usually start my training with a run but i've been meaning to see a doctor about 'plantar faciitis' some condition that makes it really hard to run for long distances because my feet start to ache the further i go. I might look into...

    Muay Thai Fight/Program

    I've been doing both for about 6 months now but being on a program with such high progression is getting hard and it will be pretty much impossible to progress on a caloric deficit. Yeah i did do some grappling but i'm focusing on standup only at the moment, but just looking for ideas i'll take...

    Where did you start? Where are you now? What were your biggest hurdles? How did you o

    Started training when I was 16. Had no idea whatsoever then I found Ausbb which helped me think about my training a little more than a lot of brainless bros my age. Started strength training, my goal at first was to just put on size (75kg at the time), being naive and brainwashed by commercial...

    Muay Thai Fight/Program

    So i've been training and competing beginner PL competitions at PTC for around 2 years now. I've been training Muay Thai since the start of this year and i'm training towards my first fight early next year. To fight, I need to cut down from 85kg to at least 75-70kg. At the moment i'm training...

    SWH - Transformation #2

    Latest progress photo taken today, weighing around 82kg at the moment. Around 4kg heavier from the last photos, feeling much stronger and bulkier although I feel like all the muay thai has kept the bodyfat % down. I feel bigger and bulkier although i'm still quite lean

    SWH - Transformation #2

    Okay well i've been pretty inactive on forum lately although to update from my last post, its almost time for the next competition i'll be entering and its pretty safe to say that i'm relatively close to my lifting goals for the year Looking for a 140-150kg squat, 80-90kg bench and 190-200...

    SS to split routine?

    From my own experiences i found its true that this forum will push more full body/strength training programs towards beginners although its probably the best piece of advice i could of been given. I think that even though you said your not interested in your maxes, if you focus on them and kind...
