I'm an absolute disgrace to be honest. Haven't even attempted to do anything in the longest time. Seriously considering just buying myself a bar and some bumper plates to have at home to train outside with when the weather's ok.

Good thing is, I'm an absolute SH!T TON stronger now, so I should be good for way more when I actually get to train it!

I'd say with a month or two of training I'd give 130 a shot.

I've front squatted 150kg x5 to below parallel so using so assuming with good technique you can clean what you can FS for a triple, I should be able to do circa 155kg. Only problem is there isn't a hope in hell of that happening cos my form's shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!

Was catching up on a blog (i.e Total Study Avoidance!!) that i havn't read in a while..... anyhoo.... most of ye will know where its from, he's talking about the IDFPA Nationals.....


The championships were held a couple of weeks back. I wish it had of been on my radar earlier because I definitely would have taken some of the lads from the gym to it. This federation is probably the best one for us as it unequipped and it’s drug tested just like we already are. It does have an equipped division but I don’t think anyone is interested in playing ‘dress ups’.





i cried a little tear of laughter:)

What's sadder is that a few updates previously he had suggested he wanted to "dress up"(although he didn't use that phrase at the time) some rugby lads he trains and get them to win a few trophies. :rolleyes:

Hanley

Still going on about that.... kinda sad.

bigstar

whats the story with equipped lifting, i mean why did it come about?

i know some dont think its right or whatever blah blah blah, but is it not more of a test of strength to just lift with no equipment just technique and raw strength. ive no problems personally with equipped lifting, just curious as to the arguments for it.

afaik, it was brought in for safety reasons, squats suits give the hips protection and a bench shirt will protect the shoulders, and then it just evolved from there

Shame the high handle trap bar deadlift isn't part of powerlifting. Someone should really look into that.

I think they guy might be alright underneath it all. Like a lot of his countrymen his mouth tends to lead him on a merry trail of destruction.

Speaking of antipodeans whose bodyparts have gotten them in trouble. Any Mattie Johns fans out there?

This cracks me up. Ya gotta love NRL players. It unreal, most aussies seem to be backing him. I mean what kind of world do we live in if a bloke can't double team a teenage girl while 12 of his mates watch without losing his job?

Makes this sketch seem all the more cringeworthy

amacachi

I really don't get the NRL players. How stupid can they be? I think the group sex stuff is just pretty ghey tbh, but ya could make the argument that it's their own business, but it keep coming out in the media, how stupid can they be. Also on the Footy Show it was mentioned that some groups of players use the group sex as a "bonding exercise". Why don't they just leave the one woman out of it and the 10-12 lads just get into each other.
****in idiots.
Also, that sketch is class. :P Though Brian Carney, what a waste.

It really is a joke, I've only started watching it recently but it really makes it hard to watch lads wrestling each other to the ground when ya know what they'd been doing together recently. :P

I won't comment on the "other" thing.

Re: the Mattie thing, I'm not trying to justify what he did, I think he's a moron, but does it ever annoy anyone that there's this revisionist version of events with some things?

Quick example, a mate of mine was a moderately successful footballer with a 2nd division Team in Scotland. He and his mate met a girl one night in a club, took her home and whatever happened, happened. He and the girl see each other a few more times, have a few laughs etc. etc. 6 months down the line, he gets arrested at training on a rape charge along with his friend. Soon it's all over the local newspapers, it's in the red tops etc. etc. and the club use it as an excuse to trim him from the wage bill. He's from the town in Scotland where he was playing so his name is mud, he can't walk to the shops for milk. It goes to court after he refuses to settle the civil charge and then it gets thrown out and the judge brands the girl "an opportunist". Now that DOESN'T make the papers, he still doesn't get his playing contract back and he ends up plying his trade here in jolly old Dublin. What DOES make the papers is another interview with the girl who sounds a lot like the girl in the video posted. How she'd kill them if she saw them etc. etc. Funny thing is they DO meet again... at a wedding, which she doesn't seem bothered about and he has to walk out of. Crazy.

Now I don't think every girl who cries foul on a sportsman is faking it, but I just think there's this revisionist thing that goes on. Years later you get confidence and suddenly realise someone took advantage of you. It's upsetting and traumatic of course, but does that mean that the people should be punished for it? Even with public disgrace?

All that said the man is a retard and so are all the other "roasters" in the Premiership and so on.

Oh yeah you're dead right the girl involved is about as traumatised as a kid in a candy shop. Her workmates have come out to say she boasted at how many of the lads she got through in the one session.

What the hell is with the whole "roasting" culture? God be with the days when George Best would get three air hostesses into a plane cubicle. Now it seems like whoever organises the biggest sausage-fest wins!

I pretty much completely agree with you, even the way he was being interviewed there was pretty biased, talking about a "power imbalance" in the room, even though it's what yer one asked for. I'm sure all us fellas know of women crying foul a while after something is meant to have happened and we all know it's BS.

I think those lads are dirty bastards tbh, but it's their own business. However any of them who do something similar now deserve to be sacked for pure stupidity.

I love shorts so much, but I would really like to get some meat on my calves. They seem to be almost universally the last thing to develop for people though. (course it doesn't help that I haven't been doing much calf work :pac:)

Not saying that it's always BS, just that we all know of cases where it has been.

Jeans worn about 2/3 of the way down the arse it the only comfortable way to wear pants.

Strangely enough was offered to the chance to be one of the spits in a roasting a while back. needless to say i didn't take the girl up on her offer.

Although for the record, i prefer the term "eiffel tower" to "spit roast" - it makes it seem more artistic!

Fat balding guy from Dundalk. :P I'm not really too worried how it looks anyway, wear them fairly low, just more comfortable than having a belt rip into my bellay.

Equipped lifting has been around as long as powerlifting has to be honest. It always makes me laugh seeing people come onto forums on a high horse about how the sport is becoming warped when the simple fact of the matter is that powerlifters have ALWAYS used what ever method they could to lift more weight (not saying that's what you're position is).

Like off the top of my head (and before single ply gear got better), the following were common;
-wrapping your knees as tight as possible with bandages
-wrapping tennis balls behind the knees to give better spring
-lifters wrapping themselves in bedsheets to use em like squat suits/bench shirts
-before the monolift, standing up with the bar and having the spotters remove it so you don't have to walk back

i know some dont think its right or whatever blah blah blah, but is it not more of a test of strength to just lift with no equipment just technique and raw strength. ive no problems personally with equipped lifting, just curious as to the arguments for it.

When it comes down to it, there's a near infinite amount more of technique involved in equipped lifting as opposed to raw stuff. Seriously, without trying it you can't even begin to understand how much more difficult it is!!

The truth is, when it comes to top level competition, the only place with a reasonable depth of lifters is in equipped divisions. The guys winning the world championships and beating everyone in gear would in all likelihood do the exact same thing raw.

I think a lot of the non-competitive lifter hate for equipped lifting stems from the fact that they can't compare themselves to what the guys on the platform are doing. The really funny thing is that even if the top lifters competed raw, the gym lifters couldn't compare themselves because anyone who's been on a platform will tell you it's a totally different ball game. Not only are standards tighter - there's an absolutely huge amount of lifts that I've seen guys in TF do that would never pass in PL, but also trying to keep focused and energised over an 8-10 hour day is one of the most testing things you can do.
