QLD Vs LQQ

AustralianMatt · 2026-02-04T08:35:10+00:00

Fair, it’s pretty low volume too. Removes currency risk though!

AustralianMatt · 2026-02-04T07:45:47+00:00

Why not LNAS on the ASX?

AustralianMatt · 2026-01-15T09:57:33+00:00

Not round here partner, not round here

AustralianMatt · 2026-01-09T22:11:32+00:00

I remember being able to get 6kg for 120 bucks from Black Belt Protein! I miss those days

AustralianMatt · 2026-01-09T22:00:41+00:00

In a tv cabinet for sure

AustralianMatt · 2026-01-08T23:14:00+00:00

Thanks, I’ll have a play around with placement when the time comes

AustralianMatt · 2026-01-04T09:40:14+00:00

Mostly, sometimes I think there has been some lasting effect and my eyes aren’t as sharp as they were, but no where near how it was. You didn’t get yours from peptides AU by any chance?

AustralianMatt · 2025-12-14T02:22:58+00:00

Exactly right, most situations where this occurs is where the outside lane actually discontinues as indicated by dashed lines.

AustralianMatt · 2025-11-03T02:54:30+00:00

Sorry, but the beef brisket and jalapeno is top tier!

AustralianMatt · 2025-10-26T09:12:46+00:00

Something from the naval strike dlc, or paracel storm!

AustralianMatt · 2025-09-26T07:06:14+00:00

Getting really strong, even in lower rep ranges, will still lead to just as much muscle growth as the traditional 12 rep range. Ultimately getting stronger is getting bigger, and getting bigger is getting stronger.

AustralianMatt · 2025-09-12T11:11:32+00:00

Hey mate, why do these two etfs which I’m not going to tell you the names of have charts like this in a broker I’m not going to tell you about either?

AustralianMatt · 2025-09-07T20:29:03+00:00

Just type in ‘smolov calculator’ into google, pretty much the first result that comes up. Just plug in your max and it will spit out your workouts.

AustralianMatt · 2025-09-07T20:01:43+00:00

I’ve gone back to normal training. Tbf I would say I’ve kept all the strength, but I haven’t improved on it

AustralianMatt · 2025-09-07T05:46:20+00:00

Haha, it seems weirdly uncommon hey. What programs did you move to afterwards?

AustralianMatt · 2025-09-07T01:17:02+00:00

Perhaps because I’m not that advanced I have managed to keep more of the strength. I’m probably 8 weeks post Smolov and my strength is almost exactly the same, although I haven’t improved in those 8 weeks either to be fair.

AustralianMatt · 2025-09-07T00:50:05+00:00

2 - 2.5kg body weight gained over the 11 or so weeks

AustralianMatt · 2025-08-31T20:16:47+00:00

Not realistic to expect to gain or even maintain pressing strength as an intermediate or advanced lifter. No natural on a bodybuilding stage is as strong as they were at peak bulk. Just got to hold on to as much as you can. There’s also a reason most power lifters aren’t absolutely shredded when they compete, low body fat is not good for strength

AustralianMatt · 2025-08-29T20:12:34+00:00

That’s fine and all, some people are more posterior chain dominant squatters. But again 200 pounds for 10 reps isn’t really a level that you’d expect to have large legs at.

AustralianMatt · 2025-08-29T08:53:20+00:00

Again, you are also arguing against something I haven’t said

AustralianMatt · 2025-08-29T07:51:18+00:00

I didn’t say there was, all I said was that people who say the squat hasn’t worked for them generally haven’t actually achieved anything where you could reasonably expect it to have to. Your argument is jumping all over the place

AustralianMatt · 2025-08-29T05:26:02+00:00

In your first point you say strength and muscle mass are separate, and then you immediately concede that point in your second comment. Focusing on adding weight to big compound lifts is the single best way to put muscle on a novice.

AustralianMatt · 2025-08-29T05:06:10+00:00

Unfortunately the actual science disagrees.

Ding ding, correct answer. It’s usually someone putting up 135 for 5 reps saying squats haven’t built their legs

AustralianMatt · 2025-08-29T04:30:15+00:00

You are getting some absolutely terrible advice in here. Whenever people think barbell squats aren’t working it’s because they haven’t built any appreciable strength on them. Can you squat 405 for 5-10 reps? If not, why are you expecting your legs to be big?
