    WARL Hypocrites ?

    Does anyone else find it slightly hypocritical that the WARL circulated an email condemning the actions of the Melbourne Storm administration earlier today , when the prior general manager of the WARL was recently stood down last year for commiting equally deceiptful "behaviour" ? It's one...

    Deadlifts issue

    For the record, you don't need a referral to see an Exercise Physiologist. It's just preferrable, so that they can both manage you together (multidisciplinary). A referral is only necessary if you want to claim your Medicare Rebate (you get 4 claims for EP's each year) - which, I assume you would!

    Deadlifts issue

    The reason why Exercise Physiologists exist, is because they're highly trained in the principles of exercise programming for people with chronic diseases, or, complex health issues (such as musculoskeletal, or cardiovascular problems). General Practitioners (Doctor's) are generally diagnostic...

    Health Behaviour Modification - A challenge.

    Hi all, The time has come for me to cover another important topic. I think this is a timely addition to this section following much debate and discussion over health behaviour, motivation, nutritional weaknesses, and problems transitioning to new and improved lifestyles. Health and...

    Dominoes 'biggest loser' range

    I think the judgement of Domino's "decency", and other such company's with similar "options" , is a matter of opinion and speculation. While making healthier options is respectable; it doesn't necessary correlate well to healthy options. Regardless; whether cynical or not - I'm not wholly...

    Dominoes 'biggest loser' range

    You must work for Domino's with the way you're carrying on. 400 calories in one meal is a tonne of calories. When reviewing a meal, you don't just look at the energy value - (which in this case, for a "small pizza", is quite a significant amount) - you must also look at the nutrient quality as...

    How long does it take to increase the vertical jump?

    Very much so .... plyometric bounding is a great exercise which sprinters use ... a method of maximising propulsion, and minimising ground contact -- power based / explosive exercises can certainly help with acceleration in sprinting; and beyond that, technique is no doubt a major factor to...

    Dominoes 'biggest loser' range

    That is a gross over-exaggeration to illustrate a loosely valid point.

    Dominoes 'biggest loser' range

    I agree I tremendously dislike fast-food organisations that place a simple marketing slogan on their products to lure people who should be learning self disciplne, control, and nutritional awareness into blindly buying a "healthier pizza" - which is likely still a poor option, though an option...

    Breakfast Smoothie

    It can take one minute? maybe two minutes? to eat a small snack every so often.... I'm absolutely, positively certain you're able to spare 120 seconds every two hours or so if you needed it.

    Calorie Counting

    Spot on Thomas. That's exactly why counting calories , even for a few weeks , is immensley beneficial .... it allows anyone who does it, the ability to understand the actual energy value of what they're consuming; and how it all "adds up". For a person losing weight, in the drink situation you...

    Breakfast Smoothie

    I think you need to look at this "problem" differently. Presently, you're referring to this issue as a 'hunger' concern; where you feel so hungry, you end up losing your appetite - however, this is more problematic in relation to your nutritional intake if you ask me. You must be quite...

    How long does it take to increase the vertical jump?

    Your weight, while it will influence you in some manner, generally won't dictate the quality of your vertical jump performance. While I continue to encourage you to become fitter through your endurance and sporting activities; if you want to focus specifically on your vertical jump improvements...

    Deadlifts issue

    I honestly get nervous when discussing exercise availability and technique via an internet forum in relation to spinal injuries or rather, spinal deficiencies. My main recommendation is to seek advice from an accredited exercise physiologist (www.essa.org.au), as they will be-able to better...

    training and motivation

    I have numerous suggestions for you - some of which have been mentioned by others, and some which haven't. I'll properly respond to this tomorrow afternoon, however, as I've taken a sleeping tablet, and am drousy as heck! ... so don't want to get on a rant incase it becomes jibberish, and thus...

    Deadlifts issue

    I agree! Are you referring to a Smith Machine? (one whereby the bar is on a vertical track, and thus does not have any lateral movement at all) - or are you referring to an actual Squat Rack / Power Rack, which enable a free range of motion? I'd suggest you absolutely have a right to tell...

    Building strong Shoulders!

    Since you work your anterior deltoids during chest exercises; I'd probably replace one of your military presses for a rear deltoid exercise; so that you don't end up with a nice over-developed hunch! (or a big round front aspect of your shoulder; with a flat under-developed imbalance in the...

    Hi everyone, Individuals participating in weight resistance training have varying pursuits in mind, however whether you choose to train for strength, symmetry, co-ordination, health or cosmetic reasons - the shoulders are an important aspect of your goals, and are often neglected by...
