actually, i didn't, call me thick but not being a lifter (mainly leg stuff), what you said implies that you were translating between imperial and metric, just forgot to change the system!

thats what i was saying!
I swing my hips a bit, but I totally refuse to do another leg movement (push press) in a Rippetoe program!
To light ay?
Umm let see, today I ate a sandwich with cheese, ham , salad and I had this meat pastry thing, with some pasta in white sauce with mince meat, 1 cup of creaming of soda, then after the gym I had same sandwich some more pasta.

Breeze:
1) Rippetoe is really pedantic about the way you hold the bar in the squat. He says to make sure your wrists are straight (which I find a bitch to do) but I noticed that most powerlifters have bent wrists anyway. Whats your opinion on it?
2) Can you recommend me a good quality powerlifting belt?
Already spoke to you but I'll address this incase anyone else is wondering:
1.) Yes, most powerlifters have bent wrists because it allows them better torso position. They do use wrist wraps though, which make this a bit less painful/dangerous, so I recommend using them
2.) The best value one in Australia would be a Toro belt, which you can buy through Titan Australia. If shipping costs aren't a factor, Inzer belts are considered the best. A belt will quite literally last you a lifetime so it's always a good investment.
You'll see results in 2 weeks if you eat twice what you're eating now and drink a gallon of milk a day.
Breeze: I've made up my mind. I'm joining the Newcastle powerlifting association as soon as the semester is over. I'll give them an email and see how much it will cost for a year, hopefully not over a grand. With a bit of luck the place won't be run by a WWE fan and his kids.
I can almost assure you it will be a lot less than a grand.
