Whiskey, War, Suicide, and Guns

It's not thursday yet, maybe I'll go buy some fake plates.

 

[ChaseT.]

That's cool. Did I mention that the 545 pull was done within 90 minutes of setting squat and press PRs?

 

[enright3060]

Eh - It's a PR.

Pull 550 in the meet.

 

[Donut62]

Yeah I'm not too pissed about it, it's definetely there, just need a bit smoother pull. I know if I can get it above my knees I can lock it out, because that's past my sticking point.

 

[liquid!]

Nice pulling Donut!!!

You'll get it fo sho after a taper. I've got to imagine your still a bit overtrained.

 

[enright3060]

You should be good for 550 with a little rest.

Good news for me - The bar I use at school for squats weighs either 50 or 55 pounds.

* adds to PR *

I need to find the make and model before I can add anything officially.

[Zerocrew1984]

No, I felt pretty good today, but was sick as fuck Thursday night and slept 12 hours.

I know Zero, I wasn't dissing you. I just spent a weekend at two seperate USAPL meets in Columbus, and was back in the warm up area for a bit, so I have pretty good idea of what to expect. I'll be going with my college friend and three guys he competes with so I really don't have any questions right now that they haven't answered for me.

^^^This is one of the kids he lifts with and I met at the Arnold, he's going to be a fucking freak. He's 17 in the video. He got hurt playing football and had to take almost a year off lifting, but he's back now and has already pulled 734 in the gym and he's 19!!!! About 260 pounds. He spent his break from school training at westside.

 

[Zerocrew1984]
