March 3, 2009 Today is the first day I’ve ever tried belt squats. Having no belt squat setup at my gym, I decided to ghetto rig one using jump stretch bands, a weight belt, the power rack, some dumbbells, and a couple standing blocks. Advice for anyone who wants to try this in the same way: watch out for your boys. I did a number on mine before this video, and it hurt…a lot. Also, please excuse my hands on the rack. I wanted to make sure I didn’t fall backwards and bust my head open. I assure you they weren’t there for assistance, just as insurance against skull-busting. The bands used: 2 Blue, 2 Green, 2 Purple by Jump Stretch.

Was lucky enough to be at the Misha Koklyaev exhibition in Glasgow. 13/8/2010 – 270kg jerk from behind the neck (a new pb) – 400kg deadlift x 3reps. – 290kg no-hands squat (world record) – 190kg snatch (25kg more than ever been snatched on Scottish soil before). With a donation of some money (and a cake!) at the platform to show appreciation! A great bloke with lots of stories throughout. For me, the best quote was when he was explaining how he wouldn’t know what he would have done in life without weightlifting. He said ‘God must have kissed my head and said ‘You will be a weightlifter, motherf*cker’. A instant classic that one! I run www.aussiestrength.com website/forum. Worth a visit for all things strongman related.

If you want to know how to build 15 pounds of muscle and turn your body into a fat burning machine, then the Musclehead is the guy you want to get to know.
Has this ever happened to you? You hit the gym early in the morning, all pumped up for a great session. It’s leg day and you know what that means, so you put your serious face on and trudge into the gym. Only to find that some 16 year old pipsqueak is standing in the squat rack doing bicep curls!
I’ve got nothing against 16 year old kids in the gym, trying to improve their bodies. I used to be one of them myself, once upon a time. What I do hate is when those kids spend their time in the squat racks, doing bicep curls. They’re called squat racks for a reason people.
And it’s not just the young guys, oh no, this is a far bigger problem. People of all ages think it’s fantastic to use the squat rack to do bicep curls. Is it because you can leave the barbell on the supports so you don’t have to actually bend down to pick the bar up? Probably.
If you’re one of these people, stop doing it. This is what you need to be doing instead. Head into the squat rack and load up a bar with a good weight for you. Get under the bar and then start squatting. I guarantee if you only made this change to your workouts, you would see startling results.
At my local gym, I love it that no one squats. Apart from those idiots who do their bicep curls in it, I pretty much have it all to myself. But when I’m trying to be nice (And that’s not very often) and actually help people out, I tell people squatting is a must. It’s such a powerful exercise; you would literally be a moron to not do it.
The thing that holds people back is pain. I won’t sugar coat it. The squat, when done correctly, takes a lot of effort and a fair bit of discomfort. But it’s this pain and discomfort that forces your body to grow, so unless you can get out of your comfort zone and push through the pain barrier, you’re going to be in trouble.
So I hope you now realize what you need to be doing. If you are one of those pesky guys doing bicep curls in the squat rack, stop immediately. Quite simply, if you don’t squat, you’re really holding yourself back. So go and do it!
