hey drew and ASU you guys should sign up for the MSLB World Series in October in Arizona or the roy hobbs World Series see if a team picks you guys up being so great at powerlifting/olympic lifting and all!

it would be a shame if I struck you both out plus broke your favorite sports masters records in the same year. I would say it would be shame if you guys struck me out but you probably cant throw a strike!

I already know that Jimbo cant.

I wish, but I do not have the required knowledge or skill to make money from playing or coaching baseball. From a pure hobbyist I don't think that there would be any benefit to me spending time and money pursuing a game like baseball, football, basketball etc. since I am past the age of 22. These games were great growing up and I still watch them today, useless for me now though.

I would actually love to see you break some powerlifting records! USAPL has a rich history in Texas so a Raw M1 record is actually a solid achievement there. I may have 0 interest in paying to play baseball, but you certainly have interest in the 5 competitive lifts, in between staring into the camera of course. You have participated in several strength forums over the years and have kept strength training logs with barbell focus. In addition you've signed up for no less than 2 meets, and have made some bold claims about your total. The only thing I do not want to see, is you hampering your baseball career by spending too much time powerlifting.

2 meets yes and a virtual mock meet. I used to participate on rippetoes board like a decade ago. I don’t really frequent many lifting forums anymore. I try to keep up with Chad Wesley smiths videos and some of barbell medicine. You pay to lift weights for fun the same thing I do with baseball or any other sport I’ve played. Playing sports/lifting weights and being athletic is a healthy endeavor. Having a competitive outlet whether you are paid for it or not is a good thing. Why would you base your entire desire to accomplish something on whether or not somebody has to pay you to do it?

I’m sure you’re a pretty decent baseball player, but I’d just like to see you back up some of the claims you’ve made about your barbell numbers.

You have had like a decade now to see videos of me lifting weights drew. Your biggest criticism was that I was "soft kneed" on a deadlift set of 515 the night the Astros won the World Series in 2017. I have posted videos on my social media repping 295 on bench. I have posted on this very board a 445 high bar squat amongst many other lifts. I simply do not understand what you want? Are you a government worker? Do you want to decrease the worlds lifting population? What do you want?

Im pretty decent at every American sport you can think of including distance running you name it ive done it. Nobody here ever would have had to know that if you had never asked about it. I am sorry for ever telling you that I played sports.

I never asked you about sports you’ve played. You were bragging about your athletic prowess in high school and scholarship opportunities to other people.

Nope, I never would have even mentioned it if not first asked. The reason I joined this forum was to learn about lifting weights and that is it and it turned into this ridiculousness all because you were angry about something I said that you have harbored for no good reason at all. It doesn't make any sense.

It makes perfect sense. You tend to exaggerate some of the time and get called out on it.

You're incorrect. My favorite hobby for the past 6 years has been powerlifting. I get paid to tell people how to do it, and while I am at my real job I post on sherdog and program for my athletes. I take some of the money the athletes pay and put it in the bank, the rest covers my powerlifting expenses including home gym items, competitive gear, supplements, travel expenses and of course meet entries and national team fees.

I agree with you, sports and athletics don't need to be sources of income, exercise is very important. In my opinion playing baseball at 40 is a complete waste of time if you're not getting paid to do it. I 100% plan on getting back to combat sports and golf some people might say that is a waste of time too, who cares.

A little side note that I just realized. You are posting on a combat sports sub forum, which for the longest time was all about the barbell lifts, which includes the 3 powerlifts. Why does it always come back to men's recreational baseball?

I'm personally just baffled at how you think you'd get 1500. I've done all of those numbers you mentioned and then some scattered around, but I don't think I could total 1500 in a couple months unless I really bulked up.

So do the people you tell how to do it get paid to do powerlifting meets? Your opinion that playing sports other than powerlifting is a waste of time is ridiculous. What in the world does squatting 600 pounds have to do with health or your occupation? By that logic powerlifting is just a big a waste of time as doing any other sport. This has been going around in gigantic circle for years now and does nobody any good on either end. What do you possibly have to gain by coming on here and telling me that im not good at sports or lifting weights? Personally satisfaction from telling a complete stranger off?

Maybe you should stop making claims that you can’t back up? That would put an end to the argument.
