    My brother put up a 165 strict press at around 185 BW, I’m 95% proud/5% discouraged he kicks my ass p4p

    Bench is pretty much all I have left and that’s mainly bc I haven’t cared about bench during the time we’ve worked out together and have a base line that he doesn’t.

    Really wanna get him into special olympics powerlifting but open water swimming is his main thing and doing a national event next year

    Thanks, I probably will. I’ve been going back and forth on getting into doing some USA Weightlifting meets with the oly coach at my gym but my technique in the Olympic lifts is garbage so I was thinking about giving PL comps a shot instead just to get a feel for competing.

    Just hop in one if you find it. Doesnt have to be this long drawn out prep for it. Just go make 9 lifts and have fun

    1000X this.

    Go in there with your normal weight. Try to go 9 for 9 and get a good baseline. Then you'll know what goals to set from there.

    I’m like 290 and still fat right now. I’ve been half-ass cutting down from 320 for 7 months while getting stronger. I’ll probably make sure I’m not too deep in a deficit for 4-6 weeks for the lead up.

    My oly coach is doing a PL meet the second week of September so I think I’ll do that one with him. May do a virtual oly meet next weekend just for some experience.

    Yeah, I'd make sure you feel well rested (sleep, food, and workload) leading up to the meet itself. Then continue the cut after.

    You're a ways off, but especially as you get closer I'd also make sure you practice the commands. That's something that can catch you off guard in your first meet.

    Good luck man. Let us know how the training and ultimately the meet goes.

    maybe Gunners can answer this, what’s the purpose of strongmen strapping up for axle bar deadlifts? i saw big loz training axle dl and strapping up. seems like it doesn’t matter what bar you use unless is about bar stiffness? idk

    also the travis ortmayer interview on his youtube was gut wrenching. guy has been through it.

    Honestly not sure what it does that a stiff bar doesn't. Can't remember seeing an axle deadlift in a competition, maybe a long time ago.

    I've only watched a few of the Loz interviews, assumed it was at least pills/oxy for Ortmayer. Was it worse than that?

    Sad stuff with black Tom Cruise. Nearly died in a car accident and may never really recover.

    I don’t know if any of you are familiar with him, pretty much just a very strong social media personality who seems like a good dude.

    So I'm doing a virtual oly meet next Sunday just to get a feel for competing and then doing the USAW SC State Championships in late October. Scrapping the powerlift meet we were going to do in September and look to do one in the spring after the prep cycle for SC State so I'll have more time to work on my bench.

    I also would like to inform everyone that I look great in singlets and I might just add this to my leisure attire.

    Shop is spray foamed with heat and AC put in. Sorinex XL rack is ordered. Getting the concrete pressure washed this weekend and then grabbing 1000sf of stall mats. Gym should be functional next week and grow from there.

    That is badass.

    I am upgrading some things in my garage. New Rogue squat rack and trolley lever arms. My current rack did a great job for the last year, just outgrowing it. Secondary market is good now so will have no problem selling it.

    Once we finally redo our dining room and get all of that furniture out of our garage I might just start filling that space with a rack before my wife gets any ideas about what to do with it.

    So Saturday when finishing up my chest workout on the cable flys I had a pop in my right arm. Full bicep tear. Looks like the same spot that I had repaired on my left bicep back in 2018. Surgery is next Thursday and hopefully back to it soon.

    I think I mentioned this before but I actually saw the vehicle black tom cruise crashed on my way to work. It was practically flattened. Fucking awful. I know a few guys from the gym that lifted with those guys at MVBB they must be devastated.

    Watch the video of Iron Biby's axle press WR. He cleaned it twice but couldn't get in position, looked absolutely done. They interviewed him and he said he wanted another chance, decided to give it to him and got it up easily. His pressing strength is insane but still shows what level of strength Eddie had in 2016-2017 to do it with absolute ease.
