Do they even lift? NomZ and Rhadam train to compete with SNS!

**Sean1332** · 09-20-2013, 10:55 PM

Dunno what's worse: Being flexed out, or having Humpty Dumpty strike conversation with you midlift

**rob112** · 09-20-2013, 11:00 PM

I wonder if weirdos at the gym know they are weirdos. That is ridiculous.

**Sean1332** · 09-20-2013, 11:01 PM

They think we are the weird ones

**rob112** · 09-20-2013, 11:04 PM

Yea they probably do. This is part of the reason my goal is a sweet home gym.

**NomZ** · 09-20-2013, 11:10 PM

Being flexed on is worse, I get a lot of talkers asking for help.

I had no idea what this dude was up to until he started backing off the platform staring at me, then I realized he's trying to troll/intimidate me.

Funny thing is, he waited until right after my training buddy left to do something.

Seems safe to say you own 135 at this point. I once read that a weightlifting opener is something you can double twice whenever you want. So you're well ahead of that.

Which injury? lol

Best wrapped squat was 500 earlier this summer, deadlifted 620 in a suit in April, and benched 285 earlier this summer too.

Haha meant back injury. Alright, well your not too far off. I'm going through a 2nd back tweak myself.

Ya that was after April that it had been bothering me.

Conservatively I am looking at 500/285/575 right now, hoping to go 530/300/600 next month...

What's the difference between Mark Bell's slingshot and your band slingshot? Besides $20, I mean.

Mine gives more pop off the chest, but it's super ghetto: just a miniband quadrupled over and taped in the middle.

You deloading the week before? If so I'd fight through too. Plus, overreaching before a break could help anyways.

Chad Wesley Smith does deload, week off, then meet. Of course, he's on a different level, but it's some food for thought. Pulls lookin good!
