the PCYC has a court upstairs so I'll go shoot hoops for 15mins to warm up... then squaaaats;)

put a hoop up recently... on the front of the car port... haven't had a hoop since I was living at home many moons ago... daylight savings is awesome, get home from work and have enough daylight to shoot around

having a basketball game the day after a powerlifting comp doesn't work particularly well... feels like your in slow motion... epic lower back pump

[-FIGJAM-]

thought I'd take a picture of me squatting to see if I go low enough

[GHOSTrun]

hahaha best troll post ever, classic!

[darksky34]

that's a nice view. I wish the windows at my gym weren't about 3m from the ground...........

[NickR33]

as retarded as that is (and the trainer should be shot in both kneecaps)... he's doing pretty well!

[TM7GTR]

Squats, deadlifts and basketball...these are a few of my favourite things...

Albeit not all three consecutively...world of pain.

I hate all three... well, basketball isn't too bad I suppose.

[TTT]

Tom - Chest supported reverse grip bicep curls, tricep kickbacks using bottom cable pulley and netball is just as good mate.

[TM7GTR]

Lol. I said I hate them... never said I don't do them. Training legs twice a week currently. I think I have a better outlook on squats due to hating them.

I f**king LOVE deads and squats, though I do despise bicep curls....

Bought myself a close grip handle for T-bar rows since the one my gym has for the seated row is a ghey piece of shit without a recession to sit the bar in between the handles. Turned up yesterday (I think it was overnight delivery lol). f**k I love T-bar rows, back is really feeling it all the way through my traps and lats right now.

One of the many great purchases out there to take to the gym with me. For $35 it's not bad.

[NickR33]

I find T bar rows the best back exercise for the mid back... especially with the little v handle... better than barbell rows IMHO

I always use the smaller 10kg plates for this... makes for more loading/unloading but you can get a better ROM as the bigger plates hit you in the chest before you can really get your elbows up and back

you can also use that handle on the pull up bar... lean back a bit and pull your chest up the the handle etc

This post. Spot on. Love it.

Why do you think they are better than barbell rows?

[NickR33]

I can get a better contraction with my hands in that position... I feel it works the rhomboids better... as long as your not too upright and using lots of body english to swing the weight up (then it becomes a half shrug movement)

I also like Pendlay rows and one arm dumbbell rows... The Pendlay's I like to go heavy and not too strict on form... T bar and dumbbell rows done strictly with a pause at the top

barbell rows into my stomach, navel region... T bar rows into my sternum area

reverse flyes for rear delts... powercleans for traps... pull ups for lats... Deadlifts for all of it

love training back lol

[SRS13]

So who's training 'chest' tonight? lol

[TTT]

Monday is Squat night.

edit - mine says Dead night..

Ok so i'm going to try Rippetoe's starting strength for the first time tonight. I'll be working at it for 6-8 weeks over this summer as I now have down time to sleep and eat a bit better now that my CIT course is finished.

Lets see what sort of strength gains I can make...

Got Milk?

PS - there isn't enough deadlifting in his program...

I know he goes on about it needing more recovery time etc etc.

But I got stuck on a shit weight for a long time doing it his way.

added more volume for deadlifts and shot up many kilos for it.

[TM7GTR]

I have plenty of milk.

Yeah I think i'll be increasing the volume a bit all around as I'm used to higher sets. Using it as a guide on what exercises to do on certain days though.

[Trozzle]

Monday for me is SQUATS!!! And barbell rows (which I'm switching for T-bar for a while), hamstring curls, and bicep curls.
