lol I'm around!

As far as for the stronger part, a buddy of mine from school is only 22 y.o. and only been lifting a couple years but is freakishly strong. He just posted a video of him doing a 900 lb squat yesterday (with suit)! He's trying to go pro as a powerlifter and I think he'll do it too.
 
Sean, I have not. I'm still having depth issues, and I'm still 10 weeks out or so. As I approach the meet, I'll switch to a smaller suit and find out where I stand.

Indeed, I have quite a few buddies that are a lot stronger than me, always great to surround yourself with stronger people.

What's his BW, equipped/unequipped total?

He's about 6'3" and 275 lbs. Big boy. Not sure of his totals because we don't work out at the same gym anymore since I got a free membership at Gold's. :D I mostly just get his texts and FB posts now.

Equipment is a whole nother beast to me, more power to ya. What federation will the next meet be? I have an APA coming up, just looking for feedback, aside from USAPL sucking.
 
@Sean, definitely. Collegiate Nats in April is USAPL, I'll probably stick with USPA after that for a bit.

Bands were hard, the first set of 250 was full potato. I put on a 25 on one side, my training partner had nothing on the other side. Thought the bands were setup wrong, and pressed it anyways.


Tried this shirt in hope that it was looser, it was tighter. But the groove felt better and I'll probably stick with it.
 
Not a good workout today, I blame the 2 crunch wrap supremes that were sitting in my stomach while trying to squat, shoudln't have eaten an hour within training...was hard to get my belt on the regular tightness from the bloat.

I love his numbers too, specially when they are also real and on video for everyone to see without claims of having world class numbers and never proving it.

I mean...I wuv NomZ too and he IS the strong one in AM!
 
Mack and Caesar, thanks guise. But not quite up to where I'd like to be, plenty of progress to make.

My next deadlift in a meet might get me ranked top 100 198lb deadlifts on PLwatch.

I thought you programmed your own training.

I'm considering going back and programming mine again, have been doing some extensive reading of the conjugate method and am incredibly interested in giving that a go.

Most of it is training by feel with weekly/linear progression right now.

Raw conjugate or equipped?

Raw, which throws a curveball at it.

The plan is to adapt it into something more applicable to overall athleticism, if possible.

It wouldn't be for a while anyway, I don't have enough knowledge of it as of now, and my current programming is very successful. (Jason has been training me for the last 3 months)

This is a pretty good one.

He has a log (although not regularly maintained) where he mostly posts videos of certain exercises or drills that he does as well. I believe the title is something like "It's about dominance".
 
I'll second Jason being one of my favorite people on here. Great poster.

That mobility thread is great. I do a few of those things regularly now.

Energy is good at 2 caps, no noticeable effect from the yohimbe. Overall feel pretty good, only the 2nd time I've used it though.

Strength is what matters.

I plan on it. I'm a few weeks out and am just now getting into my groove with benching. I don't want to throw it off. I'll prob hit ya up later and see how you personally rig it up.
