The Pub - Belph's Battle with Anorexia

And CJ's lift was actually a senior record. Mind blowing.

Well, straps were always the excuse, but going from 207 in training to 176 in competition says something else is at play, though.

CJ is a freak and it's going to be exciting to watch him progress.

As for Ian, that's what everyone says. It's just going to be a slow, slow ascent. I mean, I can't imagine that Hassle Free would really have Ian, Donavan, D'Angelo, and Garcia all at 105, all trying for the same international team spots.

On no I didn't mean that. I meant in training, he always strapped. When people asked about it, Ol' Boy said "it'd be taken care of" soon. I don't know if I ever saw him do more than 160 in training without straps. Regardless of what gear he may or may not have been using at the time.
Wasn't the peak of it snatching 200 in training and then showing up to CJ 205 some months later?

Hey I generally don't question coach's decisions but I feel he's undersized to ever be a ++. Internationally anyways. Who knows. As long as he's winning medals, I don't care.
 
Yeah, he snatched 207 in training and cleaned 240 or something equally retarded and then at his first big meet did like 176/205.

Caine Wilkes, though, is a damn good lifter. He smoked a 182 snatch last night and clean & jerked 218 like it was a toy. He got under 227 but didn't catch it clean, so he couldn't stand. He will definitely get it soon, though.

It was awesome to see a 400 total out of a US lifter, even if it is a heavyweight.

As for Ian, he is really tall. I assume the plan for him to move up would take place over the next few years for the run for the Tokyo Olympics (this is all speculation) ad he isn't even a full 105 now.
 
The black adipowers are making me want to Oly lift so I can justify a pair.
 
Also I always thought Paul Carter was a bit of a tool but props to him for this article:

The stigma attached to mental health issues and even just wearing down and needing help is basically what causes school shootings and stuff like that. Someone in Paul's position (pretty well known for being a big strong guy) being open about something like that actually does make a difference, believe it or not.

The beginning of the video is great and he has maybe one of the best intros.

Also today was my last day of work. No waiting for that cash money. Gonna use it on strippers and whiskey.

A danger I want to explore. As soon as I get my money. I'll wait one more hour before I'll bust my moves.

Have fun, man. When I was 20-21 I hit the strip club pretty hard. Good times

How do you feel about black with blue highlights??
You know, similar to a redhead... right?

Black hair works too. And highlights are always a plus.

Are you looking towards a "PR on the snatch"?
