You're not from the good ol' Estados Unidos, are you?

This log has been lacking chocolate milk. That will be fixed after some squatting tonight.

You're not from the good ol' Estados Unidos, are you?

Estados Unidos = united states right ? If so, then yes sir I am.

 

[Sobchak]

Yeah, it's the USA. Well, neat. Neat, neat, neat.

I can't believe I got that right.


Using a live log format today. My laptop has become my stereo (again).

Zercher Dl/Zercher squat.
148x1/148x5
218x1/218x4
268x1/268x3
302x1/302x3
340x1PR It was a grinder. It took quite a bit out of me. So I couldn't squat it. My ass is now numb thanks to a man named Ed Zercher.


I know exactly what that sounds like.

 

[toonie]

Sounds gay!

Ballsy on the zercher deadlifts. I'd never do it.

Thank you sir.


*chocolate milk update.

Yeah, I just took the rest of the gallon. I'll be practicing Hb squats tomorrow.

 

[xPINKx]

Damn, that's a lot of chocolate milk. RESTECP.
And that is Klokov in your AV, is it? Joining to the dark side already?

I do enjoy me some chocolate milk.

Yeah that's klokov. In the past month or so hes become one of my favorite lifters.

I've dabbled here in there in regards to the dark side. Lately I've started practicing the full lifts so I may make the permanent switch. Plus I figure my numbers with the power variations are decent for fucking around. Can't hurt to try and make them awesome.

EDIT: I should say decent in my mind. I haven't even hit a 200 Lb power snatch yet. So I still suck.

 

[xPINKx]

Klokov is a great athlete, that's for sure. Focusing or simply including the oly lifts doesn't necessarily mean "making a change", you can do whatever you want, especially when training alone. People in my gym would probably find it quite strange if I started to do Z-presses on a weekly basis, you don't have that problem. But, I do have awesome coaches and not have to pay for anything but personal equipment and a tiny fee for insurance and that.
tl,dr: olympic lifts are totally awesome and a lot of fun. Enjoy them as you enjoy your choc milk. I'm really jealous, you just had as much of it as I had this whole damn week.

To the darkside I go then. Btw, that's an awesome deal you got going there. Do you compete Pink ?


Lulz Russia's dancing with the stars has a weightlifter ours has a kardashian.

And that is why we get our asses handed to us internationally.

If you're going to the darkside let me know what training template you intend to use. I'll be curious to observe.

 

[belph]

Because we hold D-bags in higher regard than say John North or Donny Shankle?

I am trying to figure that out myself. Right now I am limited by equipment, Though that should be solved very soon.


God I hope that's the last time i type that.

Right now not at all. In one or two years maybe...This "deal" is brought to you by "Deutsches Vereinswesen", the way sports clubs are usually organised here. If you're lucky it's dirt cheap and awesome, if you're not you are screwed.

While I agree that our media makes people goo-ga over celebrities way too much to the point that it is retarded, our weightlifters aren't exactly winning world championships or even a factor in big international competitions.

That, and simply sport recognition.

If you went out and stood on a corner and asked 100 people who Donny Shankle is I'd be blown away if you got two people who said yes.

We, as a country, do not care about the sport and likely never will. Without support we cannot hope to thrive.

The Kendrick Farris show occasionally puts some excitement into the podium but yes, more or less.

We send our top athletes to football and basketball or hell, even hockey. Who would want to weightlift when you can get paid 10,000,000$ to play a game and be famous? Weightlifting pays less than dick for potentially more time spent training.

With this model, and lack of getting youth involvement, we can never hope to be a force again.

Farris or Vaughn are definitely our best shot but you never know if Farris will post a total these days. Darren Barnes could be a factor in the future as well.

But you're right, weightlifting is hard. It is monotonous and can be a pain in the ass and you certainly aren't going to make a great living doing it.

In this country everyone is driven by accruing more and more wealthy and no longer have the intrinsic motivation it requires to excel at a sport like weightlifting.
