Stolen from IGN. Sauce Hopefully it is as awesome as it sounds!

Dude I know what you meant.. the spotter shouldn't be there to help me get the rest of the set out, and I know that. It's not 'insane' to work at something and hope it will improve, that's the nature of what we are all doing lifting weights. Unfortunately I have hit a plateau, so that's why I've been asking for advice on what to change. I do them standing, without support. Yeh, I do dips like the second picture. I don't have a proper dip station at home yet.

Yeah you may have a point. My training buddy and I do an extra set of everything on Saturday just to push a bit harder, but I could incorporate this for bench every time. You're right, but my mate tells me that he is barely adding any effort, so I am almost there.. I am up to 40kg military press behind the head, again 3 sets of 8. Dips I have only started doing recently, but I put 20kg in my lap otherwise I find them too easy.

Cheers man, that's a good idea! It's just that I feel I've been doing the same weight for a while now.. about 6 weeks, and I feel like I'm not moving forward which makes me frustrated. Then I start freaking out about my form and over-thinking it. It's not a fear of dropping the bar because my mate is there to catch it. As far as reps go, I'm doing 8, then 6, then 4 without assistance. My buddy helps me get the full set out so I'm still doing 3 sets of 8. Yeah thats a good idea, I might up the weight to say 70.. and get my mate to help me through the sets, which could 'recalibrate' my brain about what I think is heavy.

This may be a stupid question, but what's the best way to get over 'mental' blocks? I seem to be stuck on 60kg barbell flat bench.. I can get the first set out but struggle to finish the other two without assistance. I even feel like I'm going backwards slightly. Every other exercise I am progressing nicely so I don't think it's my diet. The obvious answer I guess would be just to change it up and switch to dumbbells/change the incline. I'm just interested to see if anyone else has encountered this 'block', and how they got over it?

What 'hassle' is there in using a Mac? I seriously do not understand. My 2010 MBP was used for Photoshop, word processing, music recording, games, movies, video editing, music etc etc and I think it froze about twice in the whole time I owned it. It literally did not skip a beat. Had no compatibility issues, no driver issues, battery lasted twice as long as all my mates laptops, awesome trackpad, great screen, excellent multitasking performance, the list goes on. You guys must be seriously dedicated to hating Apple if you can't see the modern OSX experience as anything but a great, polished alternative to Windows. When you're talking enterprise I see your point, but for the home user OSX is freakin awesome.

Just received my 5kg of Bulk Nutrients WPI Strawberry.. Shit is goddamn delicious!!

Why are either of those things an issue?

Sold off the 6950's and got one of these bad boys. Gigabyte GTX670 OC edition.

Choose America's

Yeah I have a network monitor and you can watch the traffic spike right up when you sell heaps of stuff.. I'm guessing that's why there's a slight delay when you click sell. I've had no lag issues so far, weird.

Yeah it's pretty fun. I don't like having to log in every time but I guess them's the breaks. Also a little surprised at how demanding it seems to be considering the graphics aren't super-amazing. I mean there's fantastic use of colour and effects but the models aren't very detailed. Even with a 2500K + 6950 i notice occasional stuttering with max settings.

My copy came with a couple guest passes. Gofer it dudes, you can play up to the Skeleton King boss in Act 1. First in best dressed, have fun

Fixed

GTX670 looks the go, only about 5-7% slower than a 680 and much cheaper. $469 and free postage from http://forums.overclockers.com.au/showthread.php?t=1030264

It's fun, but I'm reaaaally bad at it. Pretty good for a free game though for sure!

Maybe you haven't heard, Apple are set to pay out a shit-ton of money to their investors over the next few years. Whoever invested is about to become filthy stinking rich. Have you actually owned any Apple products recently? Almost everything they make is very good quality (earphones are a bit dud I'll give you that). Plus yeah, the elitist thing goes both ways you know...

If I had a dollar for every elitist asshole who hates on macs/iThings.... Apple didn't become worth more than Microsoft and Google combined by making shitty products. The fact is that the experience of owning pretty much any apple product is a pleasure and incredibly painless (not to mention they have very effective marketing). Every Apple product I've ever bought has never missed a beat. That said, enterprise is not their strength, but for the home user they're great.

I have a Kobo wifi.. it's fine for reading but I have never used the wifi because it's reaaaaally slow. Mine cost $90 but I would probably recommend getting a Kindle/tablet. Have actually been using my iPad lately though.. it's pretty good but the eBook reader is definitely easier to read for long periods of time.

I use a PC, but I have an iPhone and an iPad. Use to have a macbook pro, that was also sweet. Both have their place and do different things better. Where's the option for both?

Fkn lol, that's one thing you never realise until you start eating a ton People weigh themselves because it's difficult to get a sense of progress.. When you see yourself every day it can seem like you're going nowhere. You are right though, it's the weight you're lifting that counts the most.

Most good sites use HTML5 these days anyway, Flash is a dying format.

Good news.. I've reached 70kg!! I've been using the basic workout you guys recommended earlier. Also a mate has started working out with me, so we're definitely pushing much harder. Been going strong since Feb so it's pretty much dead on 2kg gain a month, couldn't be happier!! Cheers for the advice dudes, now onto 75...

I am biased, but the new iPad is sweet. Considering a tablet is basically a screen, and the iPad has the best screen.. It's the best tablet, IMHO.

Apple already has a game console.. it's the iPad.
