Guys, I've been applying at woolworths for ages. It's really frustrating. I have some experience as a waiter at a Chinese restaurant and some awesome marks, extra curricular and references but I never get so much as an interview. Am I basically too old for them to be interested?

shroom, to begin with your equipment is severely lacking. If you have $1K I can link you to all the stuff you need to build a home gym, if not I suggest you try to find that money or pick another hobby. Surfing, reading and women is where I'd go. You also have to understand you can't 'lose...

lol, I've always wanted to deadlift the front of a car. How bigger deadlift would you need do you reckon?

Yeah, usually from fast cars. But you know where I'm going :p Also (even as a musician) I get annoyed when people call me a superficial meathead yet in the name of a 'deep appreciation' of music go out and spend $1000's on instruments and accessories of in-vogue brands.

watch out for quik bro :p

People who are paraplegic have no strength in an entire part of their body, thus their quality of life is limited. Rip's argument is that lifting increases strength in basic functions, balance, mobility and a whole lot of other shit which go down the craphole when you age, thus its a pretty...

Sounds like you got yourself a bargain. Gjdm. Exactly how does a 20kg York iron plate crack from squats? I'm more keen for Clement Poitrenaud. Study was done based on medical data rather than a survey as far as I know. What about them? Most males fall into the 5'10-6'0 height...

Why? life's pretty shit if you're paraplegic.

Enough with the psychology bs. There are biological reasons we're attracted to women with big boobs, we're also attracted to women with 'child baring' hips because they stand a better chance of producing children. Personally I don't like big boobs. I have a thing for rake-like thin girls...

x2 Strength above anything else will ultimately determine the quantity and quality of life you have on this earth.

Hey guys, I got a job! Chinese restaurant as a waiter. Its fun as but I'm still heaps nervous and crap :(

Oh wow, an 18 year-old with a passion for investment banking. Excuse me while I'm skeptical...

He's an impressionable 18 year old with nothing but 50kg of standard plates, a bench press and an ab fixation. You're pissing into the wind.

FFFUUU I've been working on form and have ramped up 60 with plenty of room to go. I'm on your tail bitch.

In Russia we call this child silencing ;) Probably not, but the issue is in line with that of wearing a helmet when you drive. Plates don't crack. The only accident I can imagine is if the bar snapped whilst on your back, in which case you're screwed either way. I'm assuming you mean...

Squatting safely will depend on leverages. Assuming you don't have a mini torso like me you can drop the weight by letting it fall backwards and getting out of the way. This is probably a good thing to learn anyway. Btw on the linear program question: only noobs do it, and noobs super...

See my reply to jezzmo. What made me rethink power racks is that though they have 4 advantages (create a degree of safety, allow for partial movements, are stable and have a variety of useful accessories), for most people these advantages don't make up for the space they take up. A powerrack...

Gjdm, they're the best price in Australia. Make sure you get Practical Programming, its model for intermediate/advanced training and periodisation is the best I've seen. I've never had an accident benching ever, always working out in an empty house kills the fear. I don't understand how any...
