wildross Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Oh dear god and all that is holy...So who's racing me to 1400 after this?edit: You guys make me miss when I first joined up. Me, this_is_seth, bigm1414, and wizardtrip used to have these same pvps. Nothing has ever motivated me more. Alas, all my friends have moved on (from NF, not life).Yes, the original race to 500# dead lift was epic 1 Quote Warriors don't count reps and sets. They count tons.

Stronkey Kong Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 As promised.http://youtu.be/jsk6pNb8zjg1) I can't see your get on bench. I'd the rule is for flat feet nor sure we can count it. I don't care though. If say you got em.2) I'm deducting 5# from your squat because i figure after a massive shit it's just like taking weight off the bar. You still total 1000# tho.In my eye you got it. 1 Quote ===================================================================================================== --Stronkey Kong-- Link to comment
Gainsdalf the Whey Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Ew, what made that popping sound at the end of the squat fail, right before you put it on the pins? Made me cringe each time I watched trying to figure out what it was. It happened coming out of the bounce on the third too. Is that your knee? Your squat depth is on point. Exactly deep enugh that no one will ever call you for not hitting depth, high enough that you're not wasting any energy. First 2 bench attempts were close on the pause. It was plenty long on the third attempt though. Lockout was a little suspect as you were rushing to rack, but it's not something I think anyone cares about here. Considering taking a hunk out of the bench rack position? Didn't think you were making it back in for a second there. Deadlifts looked solid. No comments there. Nice work. 1 Quote Massrandir, Barkûn, Swolórin, The Whey Pilgrim 500 / 330 / 625 Challenges: 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 31 32 34 35 36 39 41 42 45 46 47 48 49 Current Challenge "No citizen has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training.

Rookiebeotch Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 It's partly why my squats suck. I have ancient knee damage. Lots of it. I spent nearly a decade hobbling around with my knees locked straight. So my leg strength had a low starting point. Honesty, I didn't warm up enough to avoid those noises, I just warmed up enough to get the lifts done. Lowering the bench rack position has been in the plans since early February, I'm just lazy. I just need to bust out the dremel and get it done. No excuse, my tools are in that room. The rush to the rack wasn't out of lack of strength. I felt really good there. I was too excited that the bar went up. 1 Quote Current Challenge March 2016 Second Challenge First challenge, Battle Log Link to comment
matty_mcfly Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Yeah, I must begrudgingly agree that those were all white light lifts and you have indeed hit the 1000# club. Quote "I can. I will.

Rookiebeotch Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Well, in case I wasn't clear, I am not going to demand a reward seeing that CB beat us all and didn't accept a reward. But if you really want to, I can give you my Hawaii based mailing address. You might want to check shipping rates first. Alternatively, I will also be happy if you were to drink my beer and describe how awesome the beer is in great detail.

goodbye_farewell Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 I did the powerlifting meet at Camp and still came up a little short.... SquatsAttempt 1 - 275 lbsAttempt 2 - 315 lbsAttempt 3 - 345 lbs (fail) Bench PressAttempt 1 - 225 lbsAttempt 2 - 245 lbsAttempt 3 - 265 lbs (tied PR) DeadliftAttempt 1 - 355 lbsAttempt 2 - 385 lbsAttempt 3 - 400 lbs (new PR) So, the bad news is I got 980 lbs (same as in July). The good news is, I got 980 lbs on the third day of camp. My body was sore from all the activities and hills. I was in a calorie deficit also. I think if I was fresh, I would have nailed the squat. So close! 1 Quote Link to comment
Gainsdalf the Whey Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Yeah, I can't believe I PR'd bench at camp with how my shoulders were feeling. Explains why squats felt so damn heavy though.
