Rooks Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 I thought it was also in Karate Kid. I believe you are thinking of "You're the Best Around" by Mr. Joe Esposito. "Eye of the Tiger" is completely a Rocky III song. Quote Link to comment

Tankweazel Posted March 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Here I am, bow shoating. If I hadn't have set out to try and chase Anna from the start and been a bit more sensible I might have eeked out that little bit more on total. But we have to learn that lesson at some point and mine was this week.Still, 3rd at an IPF international is 3rd at an IPF international. 2 Quote "Gentle means tired."

Tankweazel Posted March 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 So seriously, did any expect Magdolna to have that performance in the deads to take home the title? Nope, she's 50 and hasn't done that well at the masters the past couple of years. Even my coaches thought she'd not be up to much.We expected me to struggle on deadlift and to be vying for position on the podium but it ended up being just securing bronze with what I could as I was wrecked.

Rooks Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 So 2 questions from the noob thinking about competing soon. Why did the 2nd squat get no repped or the 3rd get one red? Both seemed solid to me. Also, what were you telling the guys before your bench? 1 Quote Link to comment

Sam Ashen Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Refs said depth on the squats, appeals went to the jury. And the jury is out? It is hard to tell from the camera angle, but how many millimeters are you from which side of parallel? I know nothing about power-lifting, so this is all new to me. Do the rules say the top of the knee has to be higher than the crease of the hip? Did they misjudge the thickness of the knee wrap? As well as I can tell, you got the same depth on the second and third attempt - but I don't have an eye for this.

El Exorcisto Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Do you think squatting heavier in briefs or a suit has more carry over to deadlifting than squatting lighter raw? I'm building up some momentum in my training and have my eyes on Metal's new single ply briefs once I tackle 4 plates. They would really be for variation and overload since I don't have any plans to compete in gear outside of the random squat event in a contest. Do you think they are worth the investment as a training aid if not competing in geared powerlifting?

You'd get carry over on your lockout in briefs but they help a lot off the floor. If below the knee is your weak you'll need to try something else to build that.Squatting in briefs or suit bottoms will have carry over on squat, I found I got stronger out the rack raw from equipped lifting. Out the rack could make or break a squat for me so it has to be good. Quote "Gentle means tired." Battle Log / Youtube Channel / (lol am an..)
