scotticus Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Sweet! That deadlift is awesome! Quote Link to comment
cremshoff Posted October 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Scottcus- I was doing deadlift wrong for so long and was getting me nowhere but pain and frustration, and to be honest I almost gave up on it. Until about two weeks ago, I got some help and some teaching and the difference was day and night!

aj_rock Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Dude, those are HAYUGE gains for one month of work. Congrats! Quote Why must I put a name on the foods I choose to eat and how I choose to eat them? Rather than tell people that I eat according to someone else's arbitrary rules, I'd rather just tell them, I eat healthy. And no, my diet does not have a name.My daily battle log! Link to comment
cremshoff Posted October 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Thanks aj!!! and Matilda! A week ago I actually got heckled at the gym because I asked a guy if he would spot me for bench and he asked me if I wanted to go down in weight because "those 90's look a little too big you kid" ...6 reps later I politely told the 240lb man thank you and walked away.

cacodaemonia Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Holy crap man! That is such amazing progress, and in only a month! Awesome, awesome job.

FoolishTook Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Isn't it really fun getting heckled and then showing someone up? Maybe he'll know better for next time, maybe even be encouraging to "kids" who are going for higher and higher goals. Congrats on the really impressive gains in the last month! Keep pushing yourself in the gym and at school; you're doing awesome. =) Quote Jamie's Challenge! "If you are reasonably polite and reasonably intelligent and work very hard, you should win in the end. I am told that this is not the normal message of fantasy, which usually seems to involve being preternaturally chosen or the seventh son of a seventh son or of royal/divine/fairy blood. As I am none of these things, but I am reasonably polite and hard-working, I prefer my version, because hell, if it's NOT enough to be those things, then what's the point?" - Ursula V.
