    Buggered elbow

    Hang for 30 Seconds, Pull-Up

    Pain from military press

    About two-3 years ago I broke my collar bone, would this have anything to do with the pain I experience in my left shoulder?

    How do YOU warm up?

    As the heading says! Cardio equipment? Bands? Dynamic stretching? Specific movements? Rollers? I'm just interested in forms of warm ups! For me, it's dynamic stretching and band work. Have a good weekend!

    Need the D!

    Right, I've created a whole new account for this rant, because it's somewhat...personal. How the fudge do I meet a dude who's into the training lifestyle as much as I am? Because that's what it is. A style of life. I don't want to be dating someone who just doesn't get it, and constantly tries...

    Deadlift bars

    Just chasing options on deadlift bars. I plan to compete in GPC and turns out someone wants to buy me a barbell. Who's used both Okie and Texas bars. Why would you buy one over the other? Cheers.
