Post Edited: 01.02.2013 @ 19:18 PM by WaterfieId The cheapest decent one I've found is this:http://www.wolverson-fitness.co.uk/Squat-Dipping-Stand_AYLFV.a... I think it has an extra pair of J-hooks for benching. I think it comes up to £120 including VAT and shipping with a 300kg rating. AFAIK strength shop's stuff is rated higher than they say on their site but they re-rate them for safety? That might just be for their weightlifting bars though. | |||

| Did you get the £2 back since he didn't participate? I can imagine a lot of people will have lost money on Klokov and Akkaev lol. Yeah it's a shame about Hysen, I read he was planning on moving up into the 85kg category after the Olympics. He could have made some more monster lifts. | |||

So I was reading on Pendlay forum that podium gold has shut down. I'm guessing after the Hysen shenanigans membership fell off  .I have always enjoyed watching their YouTube channel with their mix of world/national record training lifts, interviews, general banter and regular uploading so I thought I would share with you some of my favourite videos. Hopefully they keep them up on their site and they don't delete them, many YouTube channels do this which is why I'm making this thread now so you have a chance to see! I think Abadjiev has gone back to Bulgaria and Hysen has stopped training, I have no idea about Krychev. Hope you enjoy... There's tons of other videos on their youtube channel; national recording breaking national/training lifts and some other awesome people including D'Angelo, Anthony Pomponio, etc etc. | |||

Post Edited: 24.01.2013 @ 20:34 PM by WaterfieId Here's two older videos from YouTube channel hr cro which are less known:Allthingsgym has a really good website for keeping updated with latest vids: Hixxy, Marc, Tom, Ben and Paddy, etc etc have all made it onto it before. [edit]Seriously though, check out hr cro's channel. 170kgx2 hang snatch as a light 85 (83 I believe?). Tons of other Russian stuff! | |||

MrSmall said: like portugalioj7 or whatever he is on youtube, just reposts endlessly. Yeah that's pretty annoying too but on the flip side some of the YouTube channels with the original content have been deleted so at least they're still about. I don't mind re-uploads as long as the original owner gets credit  . Adam Storey has a great channel - http://www.youtube.com/user/agstorey - but all of his work keeps getting nicked and I think he's stopped uploading footage because of it which is a shame.Some of his videos: (Headphone warning) | |||

| The guy who runs this page is a t**t. ~100k subscribers and he just re-upload clips instead of giving the owners traffic. I hope he gets done for copyright. He doesn't even know what a Zercher or who Misha is. Rustled. | |||

Post Edited: 10.01.2013 @ 05:34 AM by WaterfieId Probably depends where it was taken as well. If it is a photo of you in a public place/sporting event then afaik rights belong to the owner who took the photo. Also I think it would depend on the application of the photo taken - are they using your photo to endorse their gym, or are they using your photo for news/art (background picture for example).I was on bbc 3 4 weeks ago but I didn't sign their form so they had to blur my face out lol. | |||
| » best site to start a blog with (Go to post) | 06-01-2013 @ 15:51 | ||
| Blogger or wordpress are the big ones. Both have free hosting. If you are hosting your own site there's some other platforms like joomla you can use. Wordpress and blogger are also quite google friendly so it's likely you'll rank higher with them too (I think). Ben_F said:What is the purpose of a blog compared to a training journal on here? Everything you post is yours and can be deleted, seen a few old members of other sites falling out with their owners and wanting everything deleted. Tbh it's a bit like facebook terms and conditions afaik (they keep everything and there's nothing you can do to stop them)! Also monetisation but you need traffic for that and you can add custom features, widgets/extensions like galleries, videos, put stuff in categories so it's easier to find if you need it, etc. | |||
| » bit cheeky but are there any current discount codes for strength shop? (Go to post) | 06-01-2013 @ 00:18 | ||
| I can tell you they are doing 50% off bundles, 10% off when you spend £30, 15% when you spend £60, 20% when you spend £90 - valid till the 10th. They also have a free shaker for when you buy over £20's worth and some protein specific large %'s off. Obviously I can't post you these links because it's against forum rules. Really the owner of this site should do that and profit from the links. Topcashback.co.uk have some affiliate links which you can get 10% off (eventually, it takes forever). Also before you order an item, on the front page in the bottom left hand side of the screen there is a "price beater". If you copy and paste a few rival companies into there you can usually get an extra 5-10% off your order. You can usually get 5kg unflavoured protein for around £35-40 doing all these (not to mention if you are buying in bulk even more). | |||

Post Edited: 02.01.2013 @ 22:08 PM by WaterfieId No problemo, by the way the power perfect 2's have quite long laces, not sure if that type of thing bothers you but just something to keep in mind! | |||

Post Edited: 02.01.2013 @ 17:01 PM by WaterfieId http://www.sugarrays.co.uk/shop/adidas-power-perfect-ii-weight...Edit: Had another look around google but couldn't see anything. When I got mine it was only 4 stores which did them, amazon, pullum, sugar rays and the one I got them from. Unfortunately I can't remember what that store was! £90 isn't a bad price tbh, got mine for £105 plus £10 next day delivery. Found this site too: http://www.profitness-supplies.com/adidas-power-perfect-ll.htm... and another: http://www.topranksport.co.uk/adidas-power-perfect-ii--weightl... Sugar rays is pretty well known though. | |||
