The Pub - Belph's Battle with Anorexia

How dare you not divide by 2.2 to save Miaou's European eyes from seeing imperial units.
 
Whats with this guy; first says he has abysmal hamstring flexibility, then posts this;

okay yet again you are making assumptions...

I'm just going to be brutally honest now....the fact is, I have a good knowledge of the science behind flexibility, I understand the physical mechanisms that make a muscle inflexible and I know how to trick the body into making flexibility gains... I know how to develop it using various stretching techniques and I myself have amazing flexibility so would that impress them? I clearly know what I am talking about...I would demonstrate amazing flexibility by deep squatting 3 x bodyweight as well as explain to them the scientific reasons as to why I was able to achieve this

He doesn't have to divide by anything because a) weight in powerlifting competitions is measured in kilograms, and b) those three lifters are non-americans, which means they lift kilograms and not pounds in the first place!
 
Well, thats a good point. Im sold, 1220 kilos
 
I like kilos because it makes me seem more svelte to the uninformed Canadians.

I prefer pounds because it makes my lifts seem heavier to those same folks.

If you add up the heaviest deadlifts done in competition by these three russians you get 2690 pounds. Sick

If I was ever trapped under a car I want those dudes there.
 
Pounds or Kilos; as long as your lifting heavy, who gives a fuck?

Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of the communist party?

On the topic of weight, I'm sitting at low 240's these days, 75 pounds over where I started. Also lost at least an inch of height in that time.

In other news, what in the fuck is in the water at Quest? At USAPL men's nationals so far, their lifters have done:

Doc Holliday 695 @ 66
Maliek Derstine 882.5 @83
Charlie Conner 900@93

Capp hasn't gone yet, but he'll go huge.

Guys like Conway, Ricks, Vang and Rivas didn't come to this meet, but are strong as hell too.

When it comes to single ply, they are by far the best team in north America. Folks should check out their youtube page: https://www.youtube.com/user/QuestAthletics1/videos , highlights being Derstine and Ricks' individual lifts along with the Quest weekend videos.

Iron sharpens iron, and the best lifters more or less all come out of the same gyms. We're seeing it in the midwest now with Team Lilliebridge, which has developed a bunch of other top lifters. Derek Kendall's the one everyone knows, but they have at least two others (one man and one woman) with top-twenty all-time totals for their weight classes. The best gyms, with the most experience, just end up producing many of the world's best lifters.
 
Good Lawd. Capp just had another fantastic meet, 1127.5. Only siders has out-totaled him in the USapples.

Does any one here care about single-ply or am I talking to no one?

EDIT: Apparently Keo does.
 
Those Lillebridge folks are ridiculous. It's funny hearing them talk about their training too. I guess most would expect more out of it.

Keo, what would you say are the top Powerlifting gyms in America?

To me, Single Ply is like Basketball; I have no interest in watching or trying it myself, but I can still respect the top athletes in the sport.
