    never fear rest from weights

    bazza raises the question of how to know when to back off or keep pushing with your training. I have always taken 10-14 days to recover fully from a flat our session where I run or lift t failure. hence, I try hard to balance volume and intensity. no one can really answer this; I think it...

    Arachidonic Acid (ARA)

    Hey All, I've looked and looked (maybe not hard enough) and cannot seem to find any supplement store in Oz that sources Arachidonic Acid (ARA). Like creatine, I believe ARA scores a 5/5 Clinical Support Rating and 5/5 Empirical Evidence Rating. I used it some years ago and it REALLY helped...

    Body of evidence; single or multiple sets

    I've whacked this in here not because it has anything to do with powerlifting more so with just strength training as in hard workouts to improve strength , flexibility and muscle size which is a byproduct of strength but that's another topic. over the past 40 years more than 50 studies have...

    Wikipedia needs your help

    "Wikipedia is one of the most visited websites in the world. Commerce is fine. Advertising is not evil. But it doesn't belong here. Not in Wikipedia. Wikipedia is something special.
