hi i was working this last week at an old friends house of mine and we got to talking about training,his name is mike baker,and he is around seventy.he had his own gym,and a massive sign up saying,"no drugs,drug users;he says it was the only gym to do this in the UK at the time.he was telling me how he used to train,and it was quite volume related compared to what most of us here would do today,having said that he only ever did one top set of anything.working down to quite low reps in...

He's Coming Back

feeds@yuku.com (J Duggan) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 15:37:34 GMT

The word on the network news sports reports is that mark mcgwire is coming back to the Cardinals as the hitting coach next year. The club also stated that he will not hide from the steroid issue. Aside from the fact that he was basically a slugger who couldn't hit his weight, does this mean that this time he WILL speak about the past?

Baseball LCS

Any thoughts/opinions about the upcoming League Championship Series' ? It would be nice to see Torre's Dodgers play the Yankees in the World Series, but I have some doubts about the Yankees. Even though they swept the Twins, the could have very easily lost games 2 & 3. Plus, the Angels have had their number. Plus, they have no clue what to do with Joba. The NY media have pretty much crowned the Yankees with the world championship already, but if the should fall flat on...

The NS Inner Circle looks GREAT!

Bob, great job on the site! I've been away awhile but was surprised when I saw the site again. It really looks great and I love the quotes from you and Steiner! This is the best place on the NET to get honest drug-free information but I can't believe that few people take advantage of it! I mean there are many readers (about 40-50 visitors per day) but most just read and are affraid to post. C' mon people! Anyway, great job Bob and also to the mods Jim and John. I guess its better...

bench press injury

feeds@yuku.com (grffn) — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 15:05:22 GMT

Did everyone hear about the USC football player that let a bench press slip and crush his throat? He lived but needed emergency surgery. Are people really still using that thumbless grip???? I really can't believe anyone would but how else could he have done this. Maybe he had no spotter and the bar came down, but I'm feelin that it was the thumbless????????????

Not a rant but...funny and sad.

I meant to post something about this the other day on another thread but I will post it separately. The other day after finishing my entire workout in the power rack ( consisting of snatches, OH squats. high pulls, push presses, cleans etc), as a finisher I went and did a few sets of one arm DB snatches with 90lbs. I think I just did two sets of 10. The Puerto Rican soldier who was doing slow one arm rows with the 90lbers asked me " What do those work?" I was hot sweaty and ready...

Latest Workout

feeds@yuku.com (bigcracker) — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 13:07:38 GMT

Man this place is not as lively as it once was! Anyway, since I have been training for a Highland Game this coming weekend I thought I'd share what I have been doing in the weight room. My workouts had varied some with explosive work doing "stone" squats ( a version of single leg squats), alot of Olympic lifts and supplemental lifts and Complexes. Yesterday's workout took one hour exactly, including the time it took to change clothes. Short, heavy and hard.

Redskins Randy Thomas

feeds@yuku.com (Oldguy2) — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 21:54:38 GMT

The Redskins right guard Randy Thomas is out for the season again - right torn triceps, a complete tear of the muscle (the newspaper said this, I think it would be the tendon) from off the bone. 2 years ago he tore his left triceps (not sure if it was completely off the bone or not).
And all the NFL players are clean supposedly and yet my (limited) understanding is this kind of injury is not seen without steroids; with them the muscle becomes stronger than the tendons can take and tears...

Greetings y'all!! Well yesterday was my 42d birthday and as I am in yet another location away from home and people I care about, I spent it lifting. I picked on lift, lightened the weight and did 42 reps with it,. I chose the overhead squat. It felt so good, I did cleans that way next. For awhile I was afriad this might be my last birthday on Earth! My heart was pounding and as Hoffman would say I was "huffing and puffing"! I then did some push jerks and one arm DB snatches...

Highland Games Implements

feeds@yuku.com (bigcracker) — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 20:07:27 GMT

Hey guys! I haven't been on in a looooong time as my computer took a dive last fall and I JUST got it fixed. Anyway, Richard and Bert Sorin have a perfect adjustable implent for training the WOB and WFD and even Olympic style hammer throws. It is called "The Ballistica" and is plate loaded, comes with a ring and chain to adjust the length. Retails for $89 I think. Thought I'd share.

I went to a wrestling show last night, and I emphasize the word "show." I haven't been to a wrestling card in nearly twenty years and, boy, was it an eye-opener. It lasted four hours, and between the music, videos, interviews, and pyrotechnics, there actually were a few matches. The videos that accompany each wrestler to the ring actually lasted more than some of the matches. A typical match would go something like this: Video on large-screen jumbotron, loud head-banging...

Out of retirement

feeds@yuku.com (Natch) — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 23:02:39 GMT
So after a 14 year "retirement" from full powerlifting meets, last weekend, I did one. I went without any "pre-meet training" to speak of, just regular workouts. Did S-475, B-325(missed 340) D-565. Felt real good to be on the platform again, although didn't miss the "ran over by a bus" feeling the next day.

Brock Lesnar - UFC

feeds@yuku.com (keith2237) — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 09:49:51 GMT
Did anyone watch the UFC show Saturday night? I didn't see it, but heard about Brock Lesnar's actions after the fight. Sounds like a real class act, and I mean that sarcastically. Was wondering if anyone saw the fight and if it was as ludicrous as it sounds.

Here is one story I read about it.
