all jokes and nothing but love for ya big man. I stalk your log/blog, impressive stuff.

fyi....I broke internet rule #1 by using the wrong "your". My sincerest apologies, I wish I could blame it on autocorrect.

LOL...lucky throws.  I think it was the soundtrack.  No BS...I had the Fraggle Rock theme playing in my car when the stone happened.  Weird Al "White and Nerdy" for the WFD.  Troof -JVG.

OK, I'm all about PRs.  I'm going to go out on a limb and put this out there:

New Year's Eve...going for 1000+ rack pull.  Just over the kneecap.  Nothing big for some of you meatheads, but it would be a PR for me.

Squat- 405
Bench- 385
Dead- 485
Power Clean (from floor)- 300
Hang Clean (high Catch)- 280

Braemar- 38'6                             
Open Stone-48'8                             
HWFD-39'1                                     
LWFD-74'5                                     
16# Hammer-105'                          
22# Hammer-87'7                           
Caber-12:00                                  
16# Sheaf-27'6                              
20# Sheaf-24'                                  
WOB-16'

I am 6'6, currently 308 pounds and I have done 2 years of games. I am not much of a practice thrower as I never really throw farther in practice than in a games (the exception being hammer I threw like 109-110 in LH in practice)

Good thread!

So no one in my area has 4 45's for me to use.  Looks like it's back to Academy tomorrow for the old "buy and return."  Which is lame.

But what are ya gonna do?

1100.

solid. I love how explosive your lifts are.

also, you grab the bar like you have a DL suit on, it's funny to see you "not" bend over or sink your hips much. I doubt it's a flexibility issue, I'm assuming it's just an old habit. Incredible posterior strength.

I'm very anxious to see your 585 squat RM.

well here is the 585 squat test.

585

I only got three whaa whaa whaaaaa....

Not what I planned but it gives me a bigger training max
for the next cycle.

not too impressive compared to many of you guys, but here is a 20lb PR from me yesterday.. 435 front squat:

had more in me, but my knee was giving me some grief. I'm deloading next week so it should be feeling much better when I start hitting the wheels again.

that was pimp. I did 315x1 on tuesday: http://youtu.be/KOCTK_piGd8

any tips on overhead tricep strength? it's 100000% my limiting factor and you can even see it on my lockout. My legs were still pretty dead from monday's sesh, but regardless I had great speed up until the finish. I went for 335 and got the weight about 3" above my head and triceps couldn't take over. This leads me to believe my tris are lacking, in a big way. I already knew they were my limiting factor in benching. I'm thinking about adding in some overhead pin presses as well as overhead skulls, db extensions, etc to really smoke the long head.

thoughts?
