No offense here, but surely it's tough to maintain good form near the end of the 10 x 10 Pendlay Rows? My lower back hurts just thinking about it.

I don't really get the question?

I don't think it was a question. I think he was trying to discredit your ability to do 10x10 Pendlay Rows with good form.

I dunno if it was or not, but once you pick a sensible weight and aren't stupid about it, it's not that bad. Very tough on the hamstrings tho.

Ah, it just reminded me of an article I read ages ago by Lyle McDonald where he said not every exercise was suited to GVT. He mentioned squats, for example, and how by the last couple of sets people's form was so bad that they didn't even resemble squats anymore. Would have thought Pendlay Rows were a bad choice too.

Anyway, I remember seeing u ranting on ur FB page recently about how people were dropping the bar after deadlifts. Was just reading this article http://www.ericcressey.com/5-great-in-season-lower-body-strength-exercises#comment-55002 about minimising lower body soreness in-season. Apparently the trick is to use exercises with very little eccentric component. In this case, would dropping the bar after heavy deadlifts allow one to maintain strength whilst minimising DOMS? I'm currently in-season myself and my legs do be feeling heavy on the field after lower body sessions.

Static stabilization is easier than dynamic. So it's less hard than a squat or DL. But you need to know what you're doing (as with any exercise)

In your case, probably. But that's a very specific Q you're asking and won't apply to everyone!!

Hi, is powerlifting really a fitness subject?
It is more than likely detrimental to your body and based more on method than improved fitness. Maybe im thinking of a different type of powerlifter but I think really fat guy with alot of strength but barely able to walk across a room without breathing heavy

Hmmm, the "being bad" for your body is more in relation to the diet they follow, as in eating everything.

In relation to it being detrimental to your body, no, I find mixing in powerlifting-esque training (lifting heavy) is good for me to get variety in and also gives the body a different type of challenge.

1) Trying to achieve an elite level in any sport in inherently unhealthy. Training recreationally is not.

2) You're thinking of someone who eats sh*t. Below is a pic of me. I trained roughly the same way in both pics. The only difference is that in one I ate like a f*cking pig. Guess which is which!

When did eating 5,500kcals not define you as a pig?:pac:

Seriously though, how much kcals were you eating at 110kg?

Because I'm eating clean kcals...

And probably the same amount, but it would have been 80% sugar, trans fat and processed crap.

RUSTEDCORE

Congrats on what you have achieved then

<<tell me what you know about dreams...>>

Warm up:
Scap work and windmills

Strength:
A1) Ring Dips w/ 20kg 3x5
A2) Chinzz w/ ball grips 3x5
B1) Push up x20
B2) Ring row x20
C) Band push down w/ green 3x20

Quick one that I almost bitched out of after one set. Figure I probably won't get away with training hard 4x/week using the volume I am, so 3 hard GVT days and an easier day. 2 of the hard days will be lower body, and one will be upper (with the other upper being lower vol and higher intensity per today).

I like GVT so far.

Alright, f*ck it... It's official. I'm finally sacking up.

Going to test my raw squat/bench/deadlift in a mock powerlifting meet in RevFit on Sunday, then spend 10 weeks prepping for the IPO champs in Hercs on April 6th.

I know I won't be happy with my numbers, and said I wouldn't compete until I was - but I'll never be happy. I need to start, I need to get my feet back on the platform, and now it's all over facebook and boards, so I don't have a choice.

How is the weight gain going? You still planning on competing at 90kg or at a heavier weight? Revfit powerlifting team for the future? Best of luck anyway!

Obviously not happy with them. Tekkers was fairly brutal. Strength was reasonable. Be interesting to see where it goes.

WHIP IT!

Pumptastic sesh.

The above session does indeed look pumptastic. You got a serious amount of volume in there, fair fúcks.

Just wondering what the benefits/differences between fat-grip chins and normal chins are? Easier on the grip maybe?

You seem to do chins more than pull-ups as well, is there a reason for that, or do you just prefer chins?

Fat grip chins easier? You've never done them have you?

And pull ups just mess with my shoulder, chinz don't!

No, I haven't done them. That's why I asked about them.

I wasn't suggesting that they're easier to perform.
