-Pretty decent session, slight pain in my right shoulder, speed bench sucks lol
-100kg was moving pretty fast, I think I've got some strength back now, I've decided to burn the entire 950 I got on food + nationals costs Had roo steak and broccoli after this.

-Deads pretty easy, a bit tiring, but a pretty easy weight. suit bottoms is pretty close to raw for deads too I guess
-Feeling confident of a 260+ deadlift now!
-125kg is about my limit for speed squats, struggled to get the sets under 5 seconds, two fastest sets were 4.9. I'll drop to 120kg next week, and time it.
-had 494g of roo steak, and 868g of potato after this
yep, Masters eventually..along way off though
current job is in architecture, just need more qualifications to become a
registered architect
Sounds good.
I've had a pretty busy week, exam tomorrow, 2 assignments due on Monday, and 2 more exams next week. All finished Friday week though, then up for 2 weeks off, 1 week back at uni(doing a subject in 1 week, to reduce sem2 load), then 2 weeks off again before semester 2!

Im glad I only did one class,
how do you do a subject in 1 week?, it sounds good though
I don't know, might be a ton of work for one week though(it's a full subject). I'm doing sign language for 1 week in the holidays, instead of a full subject next semester can't be that hard.

-Used a training partner's brand new TRX today, to stretch it for him. It's about 2 sizes too big, but still gives support. I really liked it, I'm considering getting a TRX instead of a super centurion when I get a new suit!
My girlfriend has both, the titan is a better suit I am convinced if they both fit equally well. The titan however often needs a much of modification to get it working correctly, does your team have a seamstress or something for gear modifications?
I am going to take my girlfriends suit in a 1/2 inch on the quads, 1 inch on the straps and a 1/4 inch off in the hips. With singleply gear the fit has got to be bang on as its much harder to adjust.
Ive turned into a custom gear whore haha, i think the fit is the most important thing, far more important then material or plys.
Hrmmm, the TRX seems more springy, and felt much easier to squat in - and good carryover 2 sizes too big is a good thing, I know I tried a 40 centurion, and it gave zero support. I squatted in the suit with no wraps pretty well - with my centurion, squatting in the suit without wraps sucks, using the suit bottoms by themselves suck too, only feels right in full gear with that.
I think because I squat fast, the TRX might be better for me. Even fi the carryover is exactly the same, I think it will be easier to use.
My training partner squatted 300kg in his bigger one, and I was stretching out his smaller one, he should use it at nationals.
And since the TRX is pretty much the same as the fusion, I could deadlift in it too, and sell my centurion and fusion then. Don't ahve any money to burn, so will use the centurion probably for another 3 meets - it's stretched out alot, but i don't think it can stretch any more lol.
You don't need a very sterile location to do a blood test, its pretty simple and safe. They just cleaned the area with some stuff, and then did it.
And yeah, the needle was scary, I had to witness one of the others blood being taken because they "couldn't watch", it was not nice.
i would need to see some documentation of training etc on it before I let them put a needle anywhere close to me. The amount of bacteria just flying around the air in most gyms is easily enough to fuck you up.
my girlfriend was giving blood once and passed out, the needle got moved and she said the amount of blood all over herself when she awoke was insane.
If they are seriously doing blood tests in the ipf I won't enter. For religious reasons, one of my training partners cannot even get that done. piss, hair, polygraph fine, but blood tests are ridiculous (especially since they claim to test for HGH lol).
The person taking the blood is a registered nurse, it's just like donating blood pretty much, except they only take 4mL. The blood won't even come into contact with the air in the gym, we did it in the gym's office anyway.
No reason to freak out.
Apparently they didn't used to do many blood tests in powerlifting in Australia, but this year ASADA recieved something like 20 million extra funding, and are going crazy and testing us heaps. I've been tested 3 times since april, and not once last year!

Other then the passing out part, 4ml won't make a difference in terms of any risks.
This is why I am against it:
- Its just a scare tactic. Ive heard the ipf claims its HGH testing which anybody who is not an idiot realizes that this is useless. The ease of beating an HGH test is hilarious. Unless they have found a some sort of unforseen detectible metabolite (which HAS NOT been published in ANY scientific journal or been proven in any way as far as I know.. and trust me, a bunch of powerlifters are not going to figure this out). The test just acts as a scare tactic (even at the olympics) for people to lazy or to stupid to see past the fluff of the test. There is risk for NO benefit. Even if they do find these metabolites, I can think of 5 ways around that.
- They are paying for a nurse, supplies etc of the people running this useless test. Why not put that money back into the sport. I realize the IPF cant have prize money events if it wants to be considered an amature sport, but they can do like every other olympic sport any help lifters with their education.
- They publish drug test results online with access to everyone (dont even have to be a carded member of the federation). Try getting a job if the first hit on your name in google is a failed drug test (for something like benadryll for all they know, substances are not listed). Huge invasion of privacy but every ipf member signs this consent. If you have read the consent forms you have signed at your last meet you will see how little privacy you have.
- For everything that they block, there are five new things that come out that will help performance. Each carrying unknown risks to the user as they are unknown.
Unfortunatley with drug testing the difference is often this:
IPF competiror:
igf1, mgf, ghfrag, unlisted prohormones with still undecected metabolites, cjc1295, insulin, GHRP, and possible new SARMs (still primarily in research but are availible).
One is "drug free", one is not sorry for this post i'm sure you disagree with it, i had to kill 5 minutes

If you think hospitals are any better then do I have a bridge to sell you...

Seen worse in hospitals, just wait until somebody craps themselves, good times.

Not IPF, but WADA. Anyone competing in a sport under the WADA code can have the request for blood sampling. Denying a test, for the most part, is an automagic failure. Religious concerns require notification to the sporting body. and yea, thats the reason you dont play in the ipf.

So the developmental team working through dozens of universities and laboratories worldwide = a bunch of powerlifters? Now that is hilarious...
you misunderstood me, but my lab at a university IS a bunch of powerlifers
Can you show me to some research that shows an accurate hgh test (not pegulated hgh.. different story) that would catch someone 1 day after injecting it? The levels will be back to baseline as far as I understand. I realize out of meet testing exists, but the only real way to get an out of meet test would be to wake someone up in the middle of the night (incase that was when it was active).. but then again, sudden awakening can cause spikes in levels.
I just don't see the blood tests as justified yet for powerlifting (maybe for actual blood doping/epo? no idea).

I don't think they are claiming to test for HGH. I'm not sure what they test for in the blood test, but I think it's useless for powerlifting, as the stuff they would be able to test for like EPO or blood doping, won't be used. It costs probably over a grand each time they do a test, so they must have some reason for doing blood tests right?
I do know that blood testing in the past has not been common, and they have just started doing it frequently this year. ASADA recently recieved a shitload of funding, so maybe they are just looking for a way to spend it by testing my ass 3 times in 3 months!

You think drug testing is a waste of money? Or just the blood tests. The blood tests only may be, but definitely not drug testing.

If you are going to compete under the WADA code, don't take shit?

Not drug free, but I think it makes a big difference - and now with the russians getting serious with their testing and banning some of their best lifters, it is really having an effect.
