Brandon Lilly Arnold cage deadlift

Nice lift. What's his body weight?

Lilly's a SHW.

I agree with BI.... Brian Carrol talks about that a bit on his CBL blog.... you need a bit of cushion to lift that heavy.

Strength training isn't bbing. I know I'm not lifting Derek's numbers but when I tried to look like a bber while strength training I got nowhere but injured. That doesn't mean we should be fat POS's but we need that lil extra cushion to help handle the workload.

Mass moves mass

That's oversimplified but yes... mass moves mass. The thing to remember is that you will get diminishing returns at some point.

I know, I send it somewhat in jest but it is easier to lift with a few extra lbs

I agree, but to extend on from what you are saying:

Muscle moves weight. Fat does not move weight.

I do agree with BI though, being too lean is counterproductive to moving maximal weight ~ as is carrying too much bodyfat.

Don't tell that to equipped lifters that, lol.

Haha, I make sure I watch what I say around them.
