Thanks for posting. That squat was legit in every way shape or form. Looks like he totaled 2447 (pounds) that day. That's three people with a 2400+ pound total, correct?
That sucks! How much would he have totaled if he would have made that third lift?
These are the kind of problems I wish I had. lol
Guess when you are the strongest guy on the planet you can wear whatever you want? :)
Thanks for posting this! I spent time looking for videos of this meet over the weekend and couldn't find anything except Malan's squat (does that guy ever struggle!?).
Andrey squatted 1014, not 1115, and it was one of his lifts during a full meet. He totaled 2469 that day.
Kirill benched 719, but did not squat that day. I don't think he deadlifted either, because it wasn't until this year that he set the push-pull total in Sydney.
And yes, I'd pay insane...
Jacko0510, listen to the advice above. Don't overthink your lifting. Like you, I am a tall (6'3-6'4), thin lifter. I also train with guys built just like us. The key to growth for you and I is time. Pick the lifts you like, a scheme that you enjoy, and go to the gym. Do it again tomorrow or...
When I started pulling 315, I couldn't get it without straps/hooks. Fast forward a couple years and 585 isn't a problem for my grip. Grip strength, at least for me, catches pulling strength very quickly. Heavy bent over rows, without straps, and lighting up your pulling to match your grip...
I don't really care why you are using, be it softball, to look good, or whatever. But, you are ill prepared to do the things you are doing/asking about.
PCT is Post Cycle Therapy. Use the search function on this site to look it up and do some reading. Do not jump back on the 'var and...
I'm a very hard gainer. Started out at 6'4, 162 pounds. I'm currently 270 pounds. My breakfast looks like this: Mix 2 cups uncooked oatmeal, 2 scoops whey, 6 eggs, 2 bananas, and as much whole milk as will fit into the blender. Do it at night, then split it into 2 or 3 shaker cups and put it...
Am I correct in understanding that ya'll are recommending 500iu HCG, 2x per week, starting immediately at the cessation of the cycle? I thought the protocol was to wait the half-life of the esters in your cycle before starting any PCT?
KK pulls with a rounded back, but maintains that position throughout the pull. That's not what you are doing. Your back rounds as the weight pulls you into that position, then arches as you lock it out. IMO, the key to healthy pulling is to maintain back position throughout the pull. That's...
I don't really understand where most of you are coming from. Do the ab implants look terrible? I think so. But, few people seem to complain about implants that are more athestically pleasing. Are people upset about implants or only implants they don't like? The gym life is seldom about health...
