TMB Weightlifting Thread: Learn to Swim

trey mitchell at texas’ strongest man. those poor guys with the pads weren’t ready

 

Fucking Haack, why do I even lift

 

5 weeks out and I’m feeling like anything you put on that bar up to 300kgs/666lbs I’ll pull it

 

I’m sure I’m being really confident haha. Only taking 1 bench at 220lbs saves me energy though!

 

Lmao i just smoked 505 on squat. I think I can open around 512-517. 4 weeks out.

 

hensleya or anyone else

I’m looking to get some stackable foam plyo boxes for the house. Any recommendations?

 

I like these from Rep

 

Not sure if it was the same brand, but these look like the ones I used a while back at a gym. Love the velcro. Very stable and sturdy materials.

 

im sure better video will be up soon

 

I, too, set world records with ease

 

If you want Lasha content, doctor.giorgi is the best follow.

Guessing he’s saving 266 for Tokyo, the 1 thing holding back clear goat status.

 

i carried two different bed frames downstairs all by myself today. lasha was nowhere to be found.

 

Spoiler

the bed frames were broken down into pieces

 

Ok running an experiment. 4 weeks left. Gonna bench with a block for every bench session because, in theory, I should be able to bench without pain that way. I won’t touch a bar to my chest until the meet.

I had resigned myself to a bench 70-80lbs under my best anyway so why not? Luckily even with the major drop in bench I *should* PR my total

 

There was also a very impressive 216/248 which actually got Lasha more rest for once. Tied for best non-Lasha snatch ever

 

I finally got a 1 arm 100# DB snatch up today, I am amazingly uncoordinated in any Olympic type lift

 

That dude is strong

 

If you’re lifting after yourself you should get 5 minutes rest between lifts imo

 

Why do CrossFit people do pull ups like that? Isn’t using your momentum defeating the purpose of the exercise? Who came up with this idea?

 

Don’t think kipping pull-ups do anything for gaining muscle, just about having every workout leave you on the floor

They have nice 6 packs but crossfitters are legit psychos.

 

and not athletic

 

Rackable dumbbell bench

 

I love how jeans fit after a squat workout

 

I would certainly lose a finger using that

 

I tried and gave up after one set haha. You have to set up so far in front of those big hooks that it’s hard to unrack alone. You really need people helping you unrack.

 

Aaaaaand just doubled this for a PR at about the same speed. My god

 

Buying a giant kettlebell for swings may have been one of my worst ideas ever. Brutal accessory

 

Know hensleya hates them but bought a reverse hyper today, we’ll see.

 

I’ve been doing this and goblet squats a lot more lately.

 

If you want to wreck your shit, hold a kettlebell for goblet squats on your SquatMax

 

youre welcome

 

crazy fucking Russians

 

my attention span for learning is limited to ig and tiktok clips

 

hensleya

Solid video on the loadable dumbbells.

 

I can go as far as Eddie Hall youtubes, true student of the game

 

Thanks, bud. Appreciate you watching!

 

Perfection

 

the way the weight just locked over head is unreal. machine

 

Both of my shoulders fell off just watching this.

 

How...

not sure why it won’t embed.

 

Kid lives in TN. Just graduated HS I remember watching videos of him repping 700s in a high school gym on shitty equipment. Dude is awesome

 

Shit is wild. When I was 18 I was bro splitting hard and probably incapable of properly squatting 135 lol.

 

Pulled 625 3 weeks out for a 20lb gym PR. So that’s p cool

 

I only did leg press because the squat bar “hurt my shoulders.” smdh

 

I can’t but think that kid is gonna have a lot of medical issues in his future

 

Then doubled 555 after. I could’ve hit 5-6. My god
