Re: The Training Thread
My new goal is to attain "Bane-mode" - huge shoulders, traps and delts. The shrugging begins tonight! :smug: I have some thoughts on this.

There's some bint at my kids swimming lessons who videos her daughter. Every f**king lesson. 30 minutes each time.
That's an epic 21st birthday party video.

Re: Favorite beers - Official thread
Anytime you are near Suncorp Stadium or just need a reason to visit Milton can highly recommend the Scratch Bar - always interesting selection of 5 beers on tap which the boys are happy to let you taste first and its bring your own food! Good beer list. It's a great shame in Australia that good bee...

The Scratch Bar is run by some mates of a good mate of mine. My bucks night is 3 weeks away. We're starting there. Then off to Archive. And yes, Mungo, it's possibly Brisbane's best bar, IMHO.

Re: Favorite beers - Official thread
The Yeastie Boys are good Wellington lads, though I think their beers are still brewed by contract at Invercargill Brewery, who produce some damn fine ales in their won name. They use one of 3 breweries and rotate with the 8 Wired folk and some other guys. Freewhelan, it's on tap at Archive Beer Ba...

Re: The Training Thread
Deadlifts are key. :thumbup: My new favourite exercise (my old favourite were squats). The good thing about these big compound moves is that after a while you actually begin to love them and look forwards to them. I look forwards to deadlift day more than any other workout. I just love the feeling ...

Re: The all new Photography thread - post your best efforts
I will bury it with my cash.
I'd hazard a guess that out of 100 photos I take, 10 or so would be 'keepers'. A lot of it is working towards a good composition and/or settings.
That does remind me, I have some nice photos I should edit. I just haven't had the time.

I got to 110kg back squats before hurting my back (unrelated). As such, I've de-loaded and currently work on my form and stability. I find I now get better results squatting 70kgs really deep than I was getting before.
