Col, I hear you bro, I've been yo yo-ing my bodyweight down for a while now and its getting there slowly, but final year of uni is slowing things down. The bottom line....you need to work hard and put some effort in. My sincere advice to you is to get to fat loss NOW. I embarked on it purely...

Damn Col, looking Lean, i'm guessing that's when you met the 'missiz'! Girls liking big guys seems quite the myth to me, damn why did I chose throwing!Grrrrrr Here are the links http://www.iaaf.org/athletes/Athlete=12411/newsId=23787/index.html Very Hammer oriented stuff though. Someone on the...

Col, the avatars are getting quite racy (Although we appreciate it ;) !). Hmmm, is your significant other aware of you using those piccy's? : :evil:

This is what a thrower should look like! I think probably the greatest thrower of all time, His diary entries for he iaaf.org website were an absolutely compelling read (He's got the sort of mind and approach to training/comp that would make DB salivate to work with him!). I think he's 1.87m...

Yes, last year I got to an alltime high weight of 132 Kg, despite having a humongous waistline but my back/chest/shoulders all ways get bigger, making the damge not so noticable (all I did last year was on average one throwing session per week, plus maybe some light snatches once a month)...

Absolutely, I am set to commence (real) training in around 3 weeks, and I have been experimenting with some ISO's i'm looking to incorporate for the first time. Being a shot putter, Side Deadlift iso's (in theory) seem to have a good carryover. I tried them with not too much weight (80k) for...

This second one relates to a diet question someone asked him (Now Pay attention Colin ;) ). Poliquin Philosophies rather than get into specifics, charles prescribes a version of the "cave man diet." Charles rule of thumb for the diet "if it doesn't run, swim or fly you don't eat it." Apply the...

I thought I'd post two fantastic posts here from Adam Nelson, that he made on 'The Ring' in the past 2 days. When someone asked him about training with Poliquin. Charles Poliquin I've trained with Charles for over a year now. In fact,last year I flew to AZ once a month until I could no longer...

Hi Col Okay this one has always bothered me, do you continue rotations for unilateral exercises once one side has dropped off or do you stop once you have reached drop off?

Ah, Good old commonwealth working visas, they give London the influx of Barstaff it so desperately needs. Just kidding :) Cool, I was round the corner at Imperial College, then worked, now at King College finshing what I started. As for massive amounts of money in Essex, I've lived in Essex...

195 snatch pull, very convincing, you will own a 200 lb snatch very soon. I think a good pull, with a slightly-heavier-than-snatch weight is more difficult than attempting the the full movement, simply because it's so easy to get lazy or complacent and not get a good extension.

Col, First off, thanks for the DB stuff you sent. Excuse me if I've missed this elsewhere, but when you are doing a rotation, do you go through an entire warm-up before doing a set? ie the Reactive abs, you've got a good few sets of warm-up before hitting the 35lbs, so do you carry out that...

Arrrghh, Inno is no more! Cool or Ant, or can anyone please send me the essentials? cheers

Oh hell yes!!, I came off a rapid weight loss a couple of months ago (which I'm back now, less rapid though) and on my first session back, quite foolishly decided to do heavy deads, on the second rep of my first set, I strained my lower back badly, no trainng for 3.5 weeks! the sad thing is I...

Hey Cool, Ahh, progress,progress,progress..nice Any chance of seeing a clip of Reflexive Firing dual arm Bent Over dumbell Rows? Not sure I've seen you do those before. Also, a bit cheeky of me to ask, but can you elaborate a bit more on the Stackmag article you mentioned, any thing in terms...
