:lol: Maybe I'll use big words and talk about the physics of the lifts to the competitors. :twisted:Good luck, you pretentious fvck.

You're on for the contest. I want to focus a little more on flat bench after I'm done. Maybe shoot for 385-6 :twisted:.Yeah, that brit-thug banger highlight reel is great. Semtex is definitely the star in that one, great music throughout.
Maybe we can do some sort of contest once you stop strongman training. I'm doing a little mini cycle(not anabolic) and am gonna test my deadlift and incline bench in 5 weeks.
Hey man, if you have no chance of placing, you may as well talk to them about it.:lol: Maybe I'll use big words and talk about the physics of the lifts to the competitors. :twisted:

Whatever happened to your log, Mullet? Are you still hitting the weights?I'm the same way on cleans. DL has always been my favourite and highest weighted exercise, but I can't seem to use my momentum properly on cleans.
I went to visit my girl and it all went to hell.Whatever happened to your log, Mullet? Are you still hitting the weights?
I can actually catch it, but I do it mainly on my hands which is terrible for them so I've been scared to try over 265.
Thanks for the support guys.
I've always overestimated my competition, and that's comforting once the competition/sporting event begins, but in the long run I think it screws you up. I think you should go in there expecting to win, and do so, unless it's just ridiculously unrealistic. Do it for Hightower.Haha, top 3 will be tough, for sure.
585 is nice, especially if you are still below 180 or so. Throw some vids up some time because I'd be interested in seeing them.I went to visit my girl and it all went to hell.
I just pulled a 585 with full hold at mid-cap yesterday though. Can't pull too much off of the floor still yet. I'll try and get a vid for you, I want to go for 605 on Sunday. Wish me luck.
I'm sure you'll do good though. All bugging aside, your strong as fvck. Stronger than I P4P.
I'm about 175 or so right now. I'll see if my buddy can tape it. I need an outsider's opinion on my form anyway.585 is nice, especially if you are still below 180 or so. Throw some vids up some time because I'd be interested in seeing them.
You're probably right, Alex. A training partner should beat me in 3 of the events and be close on the log. Not sure how he'll do on the stones. If I get top 2, I'll try to go to nationals next year just for the hell of it. :head:
That looks good. Are you taking anything before the comp, tyrosine, adrenaline, etc? Do you ever sniff ammonia caps or whatever that crap is? Anyone going to help you, will the x be cheering on "Big Dogg"?I'm trying to think of an attempt scheme for the log. I have 3 attempts. Keep in mind that logs vary a lot, but the diameter of the contest log should be similar to our log. At the contest, belts will be turned backwards so that you cannot hook the belt under the log to help clean it.
Here's what I've done so far:
I can do 265 regularly and clean it without using the assistance of a loop in the belt. I've done 280 using the belt loop to clean it, but I think I can clean it without the loop. I did 295 on a 10'' log last week (contest log is 12'' in diameter).
I'm thinking
1st attempt - 245 for an easy confidence builder.
2nd attempt - 270-275 although I might see how others are doing.
3rd attempt - 285-295 or whatever it takes to win if that's the situation.
Sound reasonable?
Crazy bastard.Quite odd. I used to dabble in a lot of narcotics, E, coke, w/e. One night I was a little too high on E and my vision was poor, and I began fiddling with my girlfriend's EpiPen (bee allergy). I took off all the caps and accidentally touched the automatic release valve and it shot into my palm. Pretty weird stuff.
Do you prefer mental clarity over the 'buzz', Jas? I know when I am going for big DLs (I say that because it's the only exercise I'm strong at, seriously) I prefer to be extremely focused and clear than jittery. I'm like you, I don't like that fluttery heart feeling.Crazy bastard.
I also have 4 caps rpm left, an x-force sample, and a venom hyperdrive 3.0 sample, but I think I'll stick with the adrenaline by Genera. I don't like being too stimmed for strongman stuff because my heart feels like it's gonna explode after some of the high rep stuff.
jittery does not help deadlift. technique goes to ****.Do you prefer mental clarity over the 'buzz', Jas?

And yeah, I was a weird little guy. **** happens I guess. Haha.
You would appear as one passionate SOB, or just a basketcase:whiner:Haha, I'll pass on the kick in the nuts. I heard a story about a dude trying to get fired up with ammonia caps and his eyes ended up tearing up really badly. I'd hate to look like I was crying before an event.
I'm glad. I thought Vika might throw you off your game by destroying you with those insults last night. Glad to see you didn't let that mastermind get to you.Thanks guys. "Big Dogg" had a good day.
National Jim Beam chugging contest? Maybe you should hover around 215 and then cut to 200 and be even more successful? Or bulk to 245 and do the same, whichever you feel your frame is better suited for.I'm expecting to destroy you at nationals, Alex, so get to work and qualify.
Thanks. Yeah a lot of it's in the core. That dude pacing in the background of the 285 vid tried 300 to beat me but couldn't get it. He won the whole thing though.Nice presses dude, that is some sick drive you have there. Takes alot of core strength I imagine to generate that force.
