I find I can squat and bench multiple times a week and still get quality work in on other movements

but deadlifting has to be planned out a bit because of the lower back fatigue... once the lower back and grip is gone I find it hard to do much else and need a full 48 hours to recover... otherwise my workout is compromised... lots of foam rolling on the lower back helps

I used to give equal time to squatting and deadlifting but now I'm focussing more on squatting and just deadlifting once a week... I find a stronger squat helps the DL, but it doesn't work the other way round

First time for a while where we had only novices, no lifter was a member of a fed

No novice comps in February or March due to the ProRawQualifier and Vic States

April before our next novice comp

^^ you don't have runners?

I've got a $20 pair of K-mart specials lol - I don't ever really use them. The closest I get to an activity that warrants runners would be riding my bike, which I wear my skate shoes :P

I do actually have a pair of Vans Authentics that I've squatted in before and they did quite well, though personally I prefer barefoot anyway.

i'm not talking about just lifting, I wear weightlifting shoes for most most of my lifting.

I didn't realise he didn't run, sprint, do circuits, play some sport, or do anything apart from lifting weights.

I sprint barefoot on a grass track :P I ride a downhill bike which is horrifically inefficient when not going down a hill....aaaaaaand I'm considering taking up soccer again this year, so I'll obviously need to buy boots for that. If I have time for it at least.

I just don't have time and couldn't be f**ked doing anything other than the above on top of lifting. Don't see the point.

I don't do any of those.

Drive to work in Business attire.

once home I walk the dogs

then lift

then repeat.

I do have sneakers though... for the walking of said dogs

^ I used to think the same, now I look over to my shoe rack and see work boots, black business shoes, and trendy fasion shoes not suitable for anything practical. Oh how the times change, back in the day all I used to have was runners, would wear them everywhere.

    • Hey guys I’m chasing a Rb20det complete or bare block need a good running engine as mine has low comp 
    • You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.
    • 98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.
    • Anyone know alternatives to powerplus tungsten? Can't find an alternative online. 
    • 95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
