Glad to hear your pec is coming along nicely.
Also are you updating the progress of your team members there? You guys have some really solid developmental lifters.
What do you mean with "i am doing everything in my power to get stronger" and "I am making a lot of sacrifices"? I wonder what that looks like, for a powerlifter. How do you do everything you can to get stronger besides training a ton like you do?
There is obviously a lot more that goes into any sport than just training, and I'm not sure why I have to justify that to anyone. But, since I've been called out, I will.
.
First, you should know how I live. I eat the same foods every day, with almost no deviation, and operated on a pretty strict diet year-round; I've been doing this for nearly the last three years, with no extended break. I also keep a regular schedule, which means I get eight hours of sleep every night, which means that my late-night social life is non-existent. This isn't a major sacrifice to me, but I've grown further apart from the large majority of my friends here.
Then there's the time I put into recovery. I probably spend at least an hour every day between icing and SMR, and getting ready for the next training session is a constant process.
Tack onto that the two or three hours per day I'm training at the gym (with the walk, it's usually three hours, or more), and a considerably amount of my day is spent just working on training. And when I'm not working on training, I'm running a powerlifting team with 45 members and a full competition schedule. And when I'm not doing that, I'm trying to put out information on youtube. Every night for me is essentially the same: at 3:00, I start preparing for training with my SMR; at 3:30, I leave for the gym. I train from 4-6ish and get back home, usually, by 6:30-7:00. I edit together the footage from the day's session and post it soon thereafter. Lately, this is also time I'm using to ice and roll again. So, from 3-8, my focus is on training.
This means that I've had to choose between academic afternoon functions and training, and I essentially decided a long time ago that I wasn't going to be able to put in the hours necessary to pursue a professorship while training like I wanted. I was far less passionate about the former, and so I gave up a career for this.
In order to eat how I want to, I'm probably spending $700 per month on food. I make $1500 per month as a graduate assistant, and most of the rest goes towards bills, so I have virtually no disposable income in order to live this way, but it at least gives me plenty of time to focus on my training.
And I'm in a lot of pain right now. Chronic pain in my shoulder, a nagging pec, and pain in my ribs whenever I squat. It's always this way, though, if the training is difficult; training becomes a constant process of managing what hurts.
And on top of all of that, I spend time answering people's questions, including the ones like yours that call me out.
Before I even start reading. My question was more because I am interested what has to happen to get to the point where you are at now. Not sure if this part of your writing was meant in a humorful way or not, just wanted to tell you that it was not my intention to call you out on anything. I have no idea what has to happen besides training, and that's why I asked the question. It's not often I can get some insides from an athlete.
700$? Thats a ton, bro!
Professorship and social life will liekly be there in the future if you really want it, your strength is more or less finite! You do some amazing things, Keo!
Okay--then I completely misinterpreted the intention of your post. There is an assumption from a lot of people that powerlifting is a bunch of fat guys rolling into the gym three times per week to do a few heavy sets in between pounding donuts, and I read your post as if you were suggesting that there isn't much that goes into the sport besides training. So, I'm sorry for coming across as hostile, as it was unwarranted.
Man. That's dedication. Are you also training people yourself? Or do you want to become a coach in the future?
It's cool. I have been following your videos since I joined this forum and every video I hear you say you are hurting. I also didn't know there are people who have that assumption + It's the internet, lots of idiots plus people being rude. 1 + 1 equals 2, I understand you got a bit defensive there.
Every. Single. Fucking. Day.
I swear to all that's good if my room mates ask one more time what I'm cooking I'll turn into a super-nova of hate and rage. THE SAME THING I DID YESTERDAY.
Know that feel brah.
Hey, at least your good at it and highly ranked![]()
Powerlifting is an extremely petty sport filled with a lot of extremely petty people
I know. My mom will always ask me what I'm eating tonight, and iI want to say, "the same thing I've been eating for the last year, mom."
It can be lonely, because people on the outside don't understand it, and the large majority of my friends and family constitute "people on the outside."
oh what ever do you mean?
