Wouldn't the clap help with your hand-speed? I'm pretty sure that's trainable.


Not especially. There are far more effective and safer ways of doing that (which we train, yes). Including the explosive push part of presup claps, the clap itself won't really affect hand speed though.

plus damaged wrists is obviously a pretty serious injury for a boxer.

Whilst we were all laughing at his deadlift Diesel Weasel got strong. Hit an elite raw total according to some numbers. Dunno about that, either way, strong for his weight class.


solid dead

medicore squat form

Impressive lifts

Broke my ankle playing rugby, needed surgery to put in a plate but had to wait in hospital for the swelling to go down enough so they could operate on it.

Was just lying in bed with my leg raised up on pillows and constantly icing it. Wasnt allowed to get up out of bed lol, was boring as ****.

Pissed into bottles and bed pans, although I didnt need a bed pan as all the morphine blocked me up nicely.

No difference particularly, just a bit awkward and more difficult to do with bigger weights. Luckily at my uni gym they have a dipping belt free for use.

What happend about the Holland and Barret order you placed? I just got an email from them and said they had to cancel my order due to an availability problem. Does this mean they won't take the money from my account?
They won't and they'll give you 20% off but that's nothing considering how stupidly high their prices are.

If any of you morons went out and filled your tanks in a panic, give yourselves a slap.

Failed to get 5x5 on one of my lifts today, I guess this is where the fun really begins.

I only managed 5x5x5x5x4 on the OHP at 32.5kg. Is this pretty pathetic or about average? I weigh ~75kg.

Well I'm assuming you are a beginner so it doesn't really matter as long as you keep pushing.

What does the 5x5x5x5x4 mean? 2500 reps total? :eek:

Or in a more sensible guess, is that each of your sets (ie. 32.5kg x5, x5, x5, x5, x4 as I'd probably write it)?

Who cares how he wrote it, we all knew what he meant.
