Deadlifts and milkshakes

[WitchCraft]

I posted some reverse hyper advice on the PR thread. I think it will help you out.

Gracias!

If you do 210 like you did those singles that bar should fly up, also congrats on the pr

That's what I'm hoping for! Thanks!

Awesome deadlifting, WC! Can't wait to see the PR! Unfortunately I have no advice to offer about reverse hypers as I've never done them.

Thanks! My back hurts this morning. I guess that's what happens when you sacrifice form...over and over again lol I'll definitely be waiting over a week to try 210.

If Derek Poundstone told me to start wearing pink chucks and ladies underwear, I'd have to do some serious soul-searching and probably do it.

Congrats WC! nice work.

Having a long torso definitely makes it more difficult to pull, that's why I recommended really hitting the upper back, will help your shoulders from coming forward. In time your recovery should get better so you'll be able to hit it.

All in all, just doing deads will cover most of it. Reverse hypers look good, I like to really open up my spine so I try and get my legs as far under as possible and try to avoid hyper-extending my back.

Yeah, thankfully his advice to me was not that weird. I've been considering pulling sumo for a long time. I've been kinda stubborn.

Thanks for the help!

Noms:
Pancakes with bananas and peanut butter
Protein shake with the works
Triple delight chinese food: pork, chicken, shrimp with rice and garlic sauce

Notes: Went for a hike with my beasts. The weather has been really unusually warm here in NY and it was awesome getting some fresh air. I was moving slow as molasses hiking up the mountain though, I'm exhausted from yesterday.

Went for a walk with my beast again. It was long and fast-paced and I got out of breath because I'm out of shape and I eat pop tarts for dinner.

Noms:

huge chimichanga with rice, shredded chicken, sour cream, hot sauce
pop tarts
greek yogurt

Notes: WHO EATS THIS?! I am so embarrassed to put this into my log. Whatever.

My head hurts and I'm not in a good mood. An 80 year old woman followed me home from work to tell me she didn't approve of my driving and I'm mad at Goon for dumb man-stuff. However, I did get an A on my first grad-level paper! There is a light at the end of this tunnel...

Lulz, that 80 year old woman is awesome.

She got out of the car and said, "You don't pay attention to many street signs, do you?" I had no idea how to react! Usually when someone calls me out, I say something defensive and insulting. What are you supposed to say to an old woman?

If you lived down here in Texas you could have said "Get off my property or I'll shoot you" :icon_twis

Edit: And I'm so fucking jealous you got to meet Poundstone. He's my favorite of todays strongmen.

You use sign language.









Hint, It's totally The Bird.

Jealous?

 

[Modern Warrior1]

Jealous?

He makes you look like a little kitten.

 

[belph]

Jealous?

[MilkManUK]

You look like you could have been a female member of The Hart Foundation (that's a compliment btw)

Well, I was only picking up on your pink and black attire really, but they were one of the legendary tag teams of the 80's, so not a bad thing...maybe I am showing my age now.

I'm sure he'll make anyone here look like a little kitten.

Oh, and I hate you WC.

Not really, just jealous :icon_sad:

Congrats on meeting Poundstone, very cool.

I didn't just meet him, I call him my training partner now because he gave me 0:30 seconds of deadlift advice. :icon_lol:

Also, it was embarrassing enough for me to ask him for a photo in general. I certainly wasn't going to ask him to flex.
