the whole massive attack Mezzanine album is great to get it on/off to. Faith no more - Stripsearch Portishead - Live at the NYC ballroom seems trip-hop rules the sheets....

still waiting for the local stores to carry this cd here in Aus but i grabbed their single Posessed off an import compilation and i agree it goes off. Otep is an anagram of Poet (makes sense with her lyrics) and Sevas Tra is art saves backwards. "paint your face with the blood of the weak"...

Okies, getting your hands on ALA here in Aus is hard but not impossible. There is a range of Naturopathy only vitmains called Eagle Brand. Check any decent health food store or pharmacist that has a naturopath on staff. In the Eagle brand range is a product called "thio-condria" (60 caps for...

can remember reading that you should do most of your bench work with a narrower than normal grip and go wide for comps, theory being that you should hit the triceps more in training (needing the tris to blast when using a shirt). I do however concur that while i feel tight and in the groove...

i can remember someone on this board talking about these a while back, they were using them for active recovery on 'off' days rather than as part of their routine. Idea was just to flood the muscle with blood to aid recovery. tried them once, but it was soul sapping to crank out rep after...

judging help on the idea of some sort of system for juding depth of squats. Is it too silly an idea to use some sort of sticker on a lifters suit / knee wraps which can be used to 'line up' for the judges ? kinda like those crosses they put on crash test dummies hehe i know this doesnt help...

karma on its way for the GI link ! the best one ive seen indeed.

trained ME bench last night and for the first time in quite a while i had someone training with me to help spot etc. Have to say that it made a huge difference not just in my attitude towards the lift but also with physicaly pushing myself further. Gotta give a heap of respect to lifters out...

for me the niggling biceps pain started 2 weeks after lowering the bar in my squats and having to re-learn where to grip the bar. I always felt that my wrists were getting hammered by being at such an awkward angle but moving them out just made me feel very unsure of holding onto the bar...

once you get used to having the bar lower on your traps you never go back. only problem i found was my wrists were getting bent at a silly angle when trying to grip the bar, i was unable to widen my grip as it felt like the bar was unstable. Pretty soon i started getting biceps tendonitis which...

yeah what none of you mention tho was just how fucking unco you feel that first time you try bands. tonight was ME squat night but i just had to try out the bands to see what they were like. After some creative engineering to anchor them in place i got set under the bar and walked out to squat...

Irish, would love to see your GM workout, im sure im missing something when i do mine as its a totaly unnatural feeling waht with the bar slipping around on me and bar position. Look forward to seeing your post with the link (loved the last squat one)

when your gym starts charging you for bent olympic bars.

Heyas was doing good mornings last night and i struggled to find a comfortable bar position. I started out with the bar similar to where i squat (low on the traps) but it felt like it was going to slip forward into the back of my head at the lowest position, then i tried it high up on my neck...

a kinky girlfriend told me that if you ever do things like icy hot on a part of you that cant take it, then use milk to cool the area down. Showers dont work. Course, i always took it lol
