    Anyone here do strength training?

    In a nutshell. Because fatigue leaves at a rate x3 faster than fitness the compensation period allows you to come back stronger. However this is only at advanced levels. Beginners can use linear progress (because their bodies adapt so fast it basically mimics dual factor theory anyway)...

    Why do Aussies give Aboriginal Aussies a hard time?

    Generally members of the legislature/executive/judiciary come from the upper middle class and have a strong professional background, particually in the law. Because Aboriginals do not make up a significant proportion of that class, the chances of an aboriginal presence in government is slim...

    quality plain t's

    Industrie make some nice ones, though they've cut down now that its summer. Abercrombie and Arvust also do some good plain shirts, though the latter employ interesting cuts. From experience though plain shirts are always cheaper/of lower quality than branded shirts.

    Accomodation at Newcastle

    Re: best way of getting on campus accommodation? Kids I know who got it live an epic distance away (Coonabarabran, Tamworth, Lismore, Forster). Remember its newcastle here so these places are hardly selective colleges - they don't give a shit about extracurriculars, they're just a cash cow.

    General weights thread

    I think isolation exercises have their place also (I do core work and arm work because I found that after a period of time these muscles were lagging) but I still added these after finding out what wasnt working after 4 months of training. 95% of my training is based on compounds, and I expect...

    General weights thread

    There is a clear correlation between bodymass and strength. A bigger muscle is a stronger muscle, a muscle enlarges in order to compensate for increased workload. I am not saying that X lifter will be able to lift Y weight (though if you look at most lifting stats they give you a ballpark...

    General weights thread

    'useless' probably wasn't the right word to use (then again, out of all the isolation exercises I'd use for chest it would be the dumbest, I'd use an incline/decline to hit a lagging musclehead and boards to improve my bench) 'not a priority' would have been better.

    Fatigue =/= strength or hypertrophy. Why not? The reason why I'm 87kg and Percy Montgomery is 94kg is because he can bench 150, squat 220 and deadlifts 300. Strength = muscle mass. Compound exercises hit more muscles and stress the central nervous system to a greater extent which...

    General weights thread

    Maybe when you have 5 solid years of lifting behind you and a significant amount of bodymass you might use them to focus on areas which are lacking (eg rear delts). I just dont see the point of trying to focus of trying to hit every muscle head, which is not only done by compound exercises...

    General weights thread

    There used to be a lot of talk about myofibrillar (growth of new muscle cells) and sarcoplasmic (increase of fluid in muscle cell) hypertrophy, the former occuring within 1-6 reps whilst the latter occured within 6-10. You want the former. That's a pretty dead arguement though. You need to...

    General weights thread

    Dumbell presses = inefficient to novice lifters (ie those who can't press over 1.5xbodyweight) as they don't allow sufficient loading. Flys are also shit as they are isolation, why do them anyway if the press hits the whole muscle body of the chest? Pushups have a pretty shit ROM and once...

    International Students targetted for robberies

    Lisa Prylor is a cumguzzling whore. She can't write for shit (note: 'metaphorical lines of cocaine') and her leftist opinions are as interesting, as sexual, as sleep. Lisa: I know you're out there because you've been relying on bos and other student forum material for your articles for the...
