A Modified Dip Belt.
2008-05-25 14:50:00
Nice right? Wouldn’t you want a dip belt as well? Can add weights and train heavier. Don’t need to go so many reps till your hands rip into half because of callouses. Just add an extra 20KG’s and just do 10 reps, instead of having to extend to nearly 15 reps for hell sakes. And ...

Olympic weightlifting.
2008-05-25 12:18:00
  Having had trained in facilities that have Eleiko barbell sets, full Eleiko competition sets, there’s one thing you can say about them. Orgasmic. They ARE wonderful, barbells. Their knurling is beautiful, not too deep, not too sharp. Just the perfect depth, nicely enough to give you a solid grip around the barbell and fill ...

The Problem With Malaysia?s Fitness Industry
2008-05-25 05:32:00
Malaysia is a beautiful country, really it’s beautiful. Now shove aside the racial issues and political baloney for a few minutes and you’ll actually notice this country is really wonderful to live in, although the “leaders” are bickering among themselves like a pair of ferrets chasing after the last scorpion. The recent few years, have seen ...

Unfortunately?I didn?t get the 180KG
2008-05-23 18:20:00
Well…I PLANNED the 180KG. Getting it or not was another question altogether. So probably by the video, it’s quite unlikely that I got it. Today was snatch practice. I had to snatch a particular weight 5 times, each fall don’t count. Worked up to 55KG from 40. I REALLY need to get the balls to squat under ...

Today?s Workout.
2008-05-23 04:18:00
I’m hoping to strike a 180KG deadlift for a double today. I’ve been working a lot of speed recently, plenty of cleans and jerks, snatches, drop snatches, block work and I think my speed has increased in general. I think this is how I’m going to train today; Snatches To be light, of about 16 singles, ...

Weightlifting. Sports. Love
2008-05-22 19:39:00
Weightlifting in specific. It’s been a tough sport. It’s been a long journey, the end of the road’s not even close. I started out lifting weights, to look, good. My shoulders looked like the perfect lady shoulders. Low. So I did plenty of upper body work and thought that people lifted weights because they wanted to look like a ...

Anyway, here are a few methods to increase your breasts size, without the need to go under the knife and be called “plastic” by your jealous peers. Natural Breast Enhancers.

Bulgarian Blitz. Okay, fine Bulgarian Routine then.

As most of us already know, the countries that churn out the best weightlifters would include, Russia, Bulgaria, Greece, USA and Turkey. Sorry about Iran, but I don’t personally think Hossain Rezazedah is just, a natural super power. Not because of any innovative training methods. I won’t say much about, the Russians. They’re born with awesome ...

The Mister Hip - Hop Gym Goer.
2007-12-02 16:18:00
The motivation factor that drives all of us in the gym. Most people, like to listen to songs when training. I’ve classified a few categories of people I’ve seen in the gym and the songs they’d like to listen. I THINK. Sometimes, I’ll chat up a few people if my mood is good (that’s if I don’t fail any lifts, but nobody fails lifts in fitness gyms. The floors are too expensive to spoil) Mister Hip-Hop Oh you KNOW you’ve seen them! They’re like wolves. They come in a pack and their workouts consist of six main “core” exercises. Bench Press Partner Deadlift Assisted Bench Press Incline Bench Decline Bench Sit-ups Bicep curls And they come in this UTTERLY retarded looking spandex thingimajig..what the hell does that thing do? Increase your bicep strength by 15%? Their song list selection? OBVIOUSLY….. 50 Cent (I take you to the candy shop, oh god….I’d scream 4 police if a guy with that face wants to bri...

This guy is hilarious!!! hahahaha!! The way he condemns bodybuilding. I like his post “Bodybuilding is the worst thing anyone can do at a gym. Bloated muscle mass that comes with bodybuilding is useless. It has no functional use and looks either 1) too scrawny; 2) too bloated. I often read t-nation thinking to myself what ...

Why You?re A Fool If You Think You?ll Lose Weight Via Diets
2007-11-23 02:14:00
First off, I can?t believe I?m writing about a ?fat loss? article. Then again, it?s not because I?m trying to apply it to myself, it?s because of the strange sudden influx of friends asking me about losing weight. Since when did Asian women care so much about losing weight? We?re genetically small boned and small sized. ...

How Do You Say NO?

How? I think we’ve all encountered them. The smart pants that thinks he knows it all. I thought I would be able to escape such encounters as I trained in a weightlifting facility provided by the state government, where all the lifters are trained by a Chinese coach.

Did I tell you this is a blog of a weightlifting and powerlifting, or strength training enthusiast?  Sorry bodybuilders, I don’t know much about bodybuilding. Never liked that sport.

These proposed exercises; It probably doesn’t do nuts for hypertrophy. It almost DEFINITELY makes you look like a moron. It definitely makes you feel like a weakling.

Double Squat Suit
2007-11-11 13:21:00
Squat suit. Probably good for an increase of 300-400LBS to your raw squat after getting used to it. Probably not something I would ever use as I prefer to squat raw. I’ll explain why later. Probably made of some super duper uncomfortable material. Not at all recommended for going anywhere with it. Unless you intend to ...
