[NomZ]

Hell ya! haha

Edit: Didn't they change their weight classes?

 

[NomZ]

Hell ya! haha

I think I might commit to that classic raw as I'll plenty of time to train for it, November, and get some respectable numbers.

We both have a poverty bench, and trade squat and bench, would be fun.

 

[jimbuick]

Agree with AZ.

Squats were solid. :thumbsup:

I think it'd be cool as hell, man. Once I hit 705+ at 220 I've been wanting to go 198 or 242.

 

[Sean1332]

Agree with AZ. Squats were solid. :thumbsup:

Thanks a lot brother. All I need now is to stay healthy/not injured.

 

[Duramaxhd]

I vote 242 and 850+ squat

 

[NomZ]

I vote shredded 198.

 

[Duramaxhd]

What about a shredded 242

 

[NomZ]

What about a shredded 242

But at what cost?

 

[Sean1332]

Shredded 242 would be tough, but goal would be 760sq. 198 would be easier to just clean up to 205 and water cut the rest. For being 5'9", 242 makes more sense.

This is all light years away lol

 

[NomZ]

For being 6'1", 275 makes sense. Oh well...

198 is entirely doable for you.

 

[Sean1332]

198 is entirely doable for you.

198 may be the next October meet (or Nov if I actually do Vegas w/ Nomz). I can't weigh 242 until I get out of the CG anyways so that'll wait a year and change.

 

[liftandswim]

242 shredded = PEDs

198 = hunger pangs

 

[PumpHouse]

What meet in Vegas are you talking about?

 

[Sean1332]

Whichever one Nomz knows about. USAPA.

 

[Sean1332]

242 shredded = PEDs 198 = hunger pangs

Pretty much

Edit: I guess it depends on what we call "shredded". IMO, it's anything that's less fat than me now haha

I was thinking like 10% (not technically shredded), but 242 @10% is hyooge.

I'm guessing you're like 17-20% now @220, so it's a sizeable jump. Not hating, just saying it'd be hard to do

 

[NomZ]

What meet in Vegas are you talking about?

USPA Nationals in November, just need a qualifying total. Then there's Worlds in December, which is a higher total to qualify.

Ohh I thought USAPL. So..I don't have an unwrapped total so that may be out of the question lol Maybe I can do a summer meet

 

[NomZ]

USPA has raw and classic raw (wrapped) division. USAPL doesn't have classic and is tested.

Crap so many USPxxxxxx's

I'll look into it. What's the qualifying total for 220? Nov is my wedding anniversary so that's an easy excuse to fly to a meet in Vegas.

1587 @198 wrapped
1673 @220 wrapped

**** I need a bigger bench at 198 lol, I think they upped the qualifying standards this year to make it more competitive.

 

[herderdude]

What do you weigh now, slim? Water cut from 210 and don't dick it up like you did last time you tried 198 lol.

 

[Sean1332]

1587 @198 wrapped 1673 @220 wrapped

lol

198 isn't happening this next meet and I'll need the stars aligned to get 1625/1630.

I'll look for a summer meet and drop to 198 maybe.

Damn. Stiff.

I'm 220. Diet alone will put me at 210.

lol and **** that meet. Could have been top 15. 20 minutes longer in the Epsom/alcohol bath and I would have made it.

You can make 198 from 215 bro. I made it from 214 to 199, should have saunad that last pound out lol.

I tried it from 215 a year ago and botched it by .75 lol

This meet has to be 220 though.

 

[PumpHouse]

I was thinking about trying to qualify for USPA nats. Either way I'll be heading out to Vegas for it. No way worlds will happen for me lol.

 

[Wrivest]

Come to 165.... I dare ya! Haha

 

[NomZ]

I thought Worlds was in November?

I dunno, should be online, I think maybe I have them reversed.

Your profile pic from a USPA meet?

It is, LA Open. I think nats is still a class II total which shouldn't be an issue.

[herderdude]

I highly recommend Hippo style renegade rows like in D's vid. So much easier on the core so you can push weight. I rowed like a bitch trying to do it from pushup position.

 

[Sean1332]

That's exactly what I did! Watched it today.

 

[Hyde]
