It seems like everyone is lifting big over at P&B;

Deadlift PR finally hit 500 – Zeb hits a smooth 500 lb deadlift.

Hard Work and Time – JHB is now number 91 in the PLUSA’s 198 lb class.

300 kg for 13 reps – Laurence Shahlaei, British Strongman, pulls an unbelievable amount.

250 lbs × 3 Continental Clean + Push press – Strongmac does more stuff in his garden.

Dreamland? – Meatplow does manly stuff

Even I managed new PRs (153 kg and 160 kg) on my Olympic style squat (yes I can do full lifts);

I would like to draw your attention to Lyle McDonald’s blog.

Lyle is the nutrition geek at P&B and also keeps abreast of all the research on training – a general geek all round as you can see from his picture… go to his blog for straight up no-nonsense blogging.

Sometimes Lyle gets carried away and talks about stuff he doesn’t know about but the P&B members set him straight so you can rely on what he says as being pretty smart.
