anybody into bodybuilding/powerlifting?

[scabzzzz]

is that a standing overhead press? or seated? Just curious, I'm guessing standing because of the jerking comment.

Strict press/Overhead press. Standing. I can jerk a lot more though so that 105 was pretty easy. I think my biggest jerk was 165, but I didnt clean it first. Just ramped sets of jerks.

Clean and jerk is one of my favorite lifts. I think my best was 2 reds around 225 I think

[Mr. Burns]

powerlifted most of my 20's and early 30's.

I became 6'1 (well still am) but 265 of bulk thickness.

I became a hot headed bouncer.

I stoped lifting and got fat.

I started lifting again...tore my rotator cuff, and multiple back issues/injuries.

started eating right/running.

down to 230lbs now and healthy.

no more weightlifting for me.

was a good run while it lasted.

I do squats like power lift video at the top. I'm not going into catcher squat to blow my knees out.

I don't think you'd do that unless you already have knee problems, wraps or sleeves offer plenty of support..........now, I have contemplated wearing a diaper on heavy squat days, that always seems like more of a threat.

I have knee issues, to the point where I was in physical therapy for 6 months and had to quit commuting in the man-pedal cars. Pattelafemoral syndrome and patella tendonitis.

For squat days, I highly recommend using a buttplug.

That's just kinky

It actually addresses that misconception in Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe. Another total win by our resident fitness trainer, Thizzzzell!!! ;)

[IronFreak]

I'm going to pick heavy stuff up off the floor later.....

Back day = Beastmode.

I'm doing Jim Stoppani's 12 week program. Haven't been this sore since I did a high performance rowing camp!
Different kinda sore though...

Did calves/back/biceps last night

I start out with my calves first, you might disagree with this method, I dare you to try it. I used to do them last when I was tired and just wanted to leave. I started doing this 3 weeks ago, the first time I did it I pounded them so hard I could barely walk the next day.

Calves - circuit set of standing, leg sled and sitting calf raises x3

I superset the calf raises with pull ups, ended up doing 6x10

deadlift:

135x5
225x5
315x8 for 3 sets

bent-over BB row

135x12 for 3 sets

Lat pulls

150x15
170x15
190x15

standing lat push downs

90x12 for 3 sets

standing low rows

120x12 for 3 sets

Biceps was a super set of lateral, hammer and rope pulls 3x15


Feel thoroughly blasted today, pretty sure my back looked something like this when I was done.

[drumad]

Redeemed my failed lockout on 415 from my last 1s week. Here's a 425 for a double. (don't look at my straps :()



Just saw this. I will be right next to IronFreak yelling "lower phaggot."

BUT I SWEAR IF ONE MORE PERSON COMES INTO THIS THREAD AND SAYS ANYTHING ABOUT NOT DOING LEGS AND TRIES TO GIVE A JUSTIFIABLE REASON WHY THEY DO SO.....SO HELP ME GOD I WILL FIND YOU AND SMACK THAT NONSENSE CLEAN OUT OF YOUR BRAIN!!

[Vedubin01]

Nicely done Drumad!



That just happens to be my PR for dead lifts!

[LowR3V'in]
