    Strength and volume

    A Q for you Powerlifters here - How would you characterise the relationship between volume and strength? Do you find it necessary to manage the volume of your ancillary exercises in order to increase strength in your main lifts? In short, do you find that too much volume detracts from your...

    Fatiguing muscle groups prior to doing compound lifts

    I apologise if this has been discussed before but what is everyone's opinion on fatiguing a smaller muscle group in order to force the larger muscles to do more work? What I mean is, to maximise growth in say the chest/pecs a) Doing triceps before benching or b) Fatiguing the chest with flyes...

    Benching for Oly lifts

    If you're trying to snatch in Converse instead of Adipowers, then you will lift more in the Adipowers guaranteed. Depending your squat and pull style, they could add kilos there too, but mostly they just make you feel secure while lifting which adds a lot of confidence which is important. I'd...

    Deadlifts vs. Deficit Deadlifts

    I've been thinking about adding a set straight after my regular deads. Is there a set deficit to go by? Anyone using these and having success? How big is your deficit? Can you do these Sumo style or do they benefit conventional only? What weakness do they target?
