Who's adix?

lowyat.net superhero.

must be on par with fabians in the league of the geeky powerlifters of lowyat forum.

NATO (No action talk only)?

WORD!!!

Lol... nasty!!!

Come to think of it, he said he wanted to make a deadlift vid? Lol

2 threads, 2 missing vids, double the lulz.

i did 30kg for 10reps for 5sets...
should i increase the weight??

what's your 1RM? once you find that out, go for 50-60% for 10 reps. you could go for 70% of your 1RM too but with longer rests in between sets.

What's ur 1RM for flat bench? Are u duin strength or hypertrophy regime?

only 220lbs. strength because i'm working towards my first powerlifting meet next year.

Mind to ask you, but where is normally powerlifter meeting being held in msia? I suppose its for down syndrome people only?

i'm training in canada and i'm referring to one of the leagues that i've had the opportunity to see which happened to be the league that people with downs syndrome participated. and this was referring to your deadlifting thread btw.

you don't need a partner. you need a rack with pins/arms so that you can attempt your 1RM and fail safely.

I see.. I thought you're a Malaysian..forgive me.. All the best to you..

In msia, powerlifting is not very popular..only bodybuilding activities..

i am malaysian. i'm just temporarily located in another country that's all. yes, i know bodybuilding is very much the vocation of most gym goers back home. when i'm back home, i'm usually training at the gym rakyat in taman maluri which has a lot of bodybuilder type guys.

anyway, we're straying off topic.

back to bench press technique discussions.

I'm training there too! I heard my friend lar, i dunno is he bullshiting or not, his my gym partner and one day he go to the gym without me i got something to do he told me that day at locker room those bodybuilder type guys inject juices infront of them in the locker room and told my friend "Nak besar perlu guna ini" using needles.
I'm kinda skeptic.

ok then.. will do that later.. thanks..

OR, if you want to estimate your One Rep Max without performing it, use the ORM calculator is to estimate as per link below:

http://www.timinvermont.com/fitness/orm.htm

Eg. Enter your weight lifted, number of repetitions (PLEASE enter at most 5 reps to get accurate result)..

You haven't been to gyms enough. I know a lot of juicers and you'll meet a lot of them along the way. Just that not many people will openly admit to juicing.
