Dohertys Gym Review

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

Just thought I would do a quick review of Doherty’s Gym - had an awesome workout there while we were down at the IFBB Aussie Pro Bodybuilding Grand Prix.

Book Review - The Complete Keys to Progress by John McCallum

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

People who are new or unfamiliar with weight training often assume that the only way to get big is to get on the roids. What they don’t realize is that there were big units around before anyone even knew what steroids were. That is the reason I got myself a copy of the Complete Keys to Progress. (more…)

Lee Priest’s new Powertec and Ironmaster Home Gym

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

Lee Priest has returned to live in Australia after living in the US. We heard on the grapevine that Lee was having a few dramas training in his gym - the same problems we have all experienced over the years.

I Want to Be a Bodybuilder When I Grow Up

Friday, October 10th, 2008

Now that I have reached the ripe old age of 33 and recently left behind my childhood years I am keen to have a serious go at bodybuilding. I have trained with weight s for ages but never really had a go at building muscle mass. My weight training was mainly just targeted at keeping fit and healthy as I have always had trouble keeping my weight down.

It has only been the last year that I have got some consistency back into my weight training and diet and I am starting to feel a lot better for it. So it is time to really start upping the intensity and adding some solid muscle. (more…)

Bodybuilding DVD Review: Toney Freeman “The X-Man Cometh”

Thursday, June 5th, 2008

We had the privilege of having Toney Freeman signing autographs near our stand at the IFBB Pro Bodybuilding Grand Prix in Melbourne. The poor bloke was knackered from competing but was more than happy to sign autographs for hours.
