Thundergod's Mad Methyl Meltdown!!!

Brock is a freak. I used to watch WWE just to see that freak of nature. He will be heavyweight champ once he beats Coture. You can't teach his power and size and he busts his a$$ in the gym and will improve his flaws over time.

Agreed, and I hope Brock beats Couture, too. People assume Brock's just a one dimensional raging beast, when in actuality, he has a very respectable and legitimate background of technical D1 wresting, a champion no less. Therefore, he should respond to technical work quite effectively over time.

His power, size, strength AND athleticism is like you said, you have it "AT THAT LEVEL" or you don't.
 
Yeah, the heel hook he got caught in is a total noob mistake. You figure that sh*t out pretty quickly.

That being said, Couture is no joke... He has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

Speaking of noobs... Anyone going to enjoy seeing Kimbo get dominated this weekend?

When, who and what station? (Kimbo)

True about Couture, I don't ever count him out. He has mad experience, an intelligent fight mind, and much better at implementing and executing fight strategies. Not to mention he has awareness of the octagon and knows how to pace himself to remain effective the entire fight.

Currently, Couture's strongest suit is his dirty boxing, but he'll have to be able to control Brock in a clinch for that to be effective and I don't see Couture controlling the raging bull, unless Brock gets gassed, which is always a possibility. He comes out with all pistons firing and that can only last so long. However, Brock doesn't need all pistons firing to handle someone of Couture's stature. If Brock can control his nerve, pace himself somewhat and remain clear minded, he's going to be a nasty obstacle.

I'm betting on Brock, but I'm not counting Couture out.

I was so excited to hear Kimbo was going to fight Shamrock. Then I realized it was Ken and not Frank. I am sorry, but Ken is washed up to the point where I don't think he can take Kimbo. Will be very interesting if Ken can get him on the ground.

My friend had $500 UFC tickets to one of their events, $500!!! It's not THAT serious. I'd pay up to $75 at best, and I mean, AT BEST, which pretty much means the only live fights I'll be watching will be at the Indian Casinos.

Yeah, Ken is a washed up roided out old man... He's not much worse than the guy with the giant puss filled ear though, and he owned Kimbo on the ground.

Shamrock will NOT box with Kimbo. He's going to immediately go for a double leg - I guaruntee that.
 
Sort of looks like Cindy Crawford...
 
She can put me in any submission hold she wants
 
Never thought I would be attracted to a woman that hard a hard time cutting to 155lbs. However, she is good looking and a good fighter. I still think Cyborg would destroy her and I was sad to see them not put them in this event.

Yeah, rookie mistake. He was absolutely dominating Mir though. Experience is everything.

I agree, but I still simply cannot imagine what kind of game plan he can come up with to stop Brock. I keep hearing people say things, and I've read arguments and understand both sides, but it's like no matter what people say and what I know Couture is capable of... I still simply cannot see this match up working to Couture's advantage in any way. I just don't see how he can possibly win this fight.

I'll catch it on the internet later. You couldn't pay me to waste my Saturday night watching that garbage.
 
Nothing on paper matches up to Couture's favor, but he's always got this funky "Couture Factor", and odd ish happens in his favor.

Brock gassing, or letting his nerves blockade his mind and getting caught in something is the only way I see this going in Randy's favor.

Realistically, I don't think Randy can do much on his own accord to defeat Brock, he'll need Brock's help for that to happen, and fighters have been known to beat themselves when a win should have been a shoe-in.
 
Shaddow - that's the beauty of DVR!! I wont be watching it. The Pan Am games for Jiu Jitsu are in NY on Saturday - and a couple of my buddies are competing - so I'll be there most of the day.

And Couture - he was just a run of the mill dude before taking out Chuck... He's strung together a couple good fights, but he's been out for awhile... My money is on Lesnar too.

no inner europe travelling this wkend. English ladies for me tomorrow night woot woot.:chick:


^^^ that guy in the video is an animal. Id be happy to deadlift those amounts just once.
 
Looks like everything is running smoothly bro. Keep bangin'
 
By the way, I was going to ask you guys...

What's the rationale behind some guys doing deadlifts with both palms down or some guys doing them with one down, one up...

I've tried both ways. But if you go one up, one down - you'd need to swap hands to avoid imbalance I would think?
 
Cycle Day 24--Day 10 Of Oral Trenbolone

WAR REPORT: Yes, yes, yes, yes, YES!! :aargh:! Now we are doing it to it! This Oral Trenbolone is in full effect now. I felt uber-beastly this morning. Like I could eat chain and spit nails! :twisted: Let's dive into the news from the fray--LEGS--LEG EXTENSIONS: 150 X 16. Up 2 reps. Back off at 100 X 20. Put the fire to 'em! Felt like I had a blow torch on 'em. MACHINE SQUATS--WIDOWMAKERS: 325 X 20. And even though it was rough, I think I could've rest-paused a few more out of 'em. May have to up it 10 more lbs. next week. Oh yeah. Back off at 225 X 15. Real slow and strict ones. Deep too. STIFF LEGGED DEADLIFTS: 325 X 9-5-3=17 total reps!! Up 5 lbs. and 3 reps. WTF?? Thunder-likey. DC style sets here again. Rest-pause with 15 deep breaths between the 3 mini-sets. All back off sets are done with perfect form and slow reps. Back off at 225 X 15. STANDING ONE-LEGGED HAMSTRING CURLS: 100 x 14!! PR. Back off at 60 X 15. And they were throbbing now. I immediately then hit some DB LUNGES: 30's X 15. Legs were finished at this point. I felt almost spent. Then as I was doing my rotator cuff exercise to start into shoulders, it was like a cool breeze came over me and I got a second wind. All-Father sent some power my way. :box: SHOULDERS--MACHINE SHOULDER PRESSES: 225 X 10-6-4=20 total reps!! Up 10 lbs. and 2 reps. I went up 10 lbs. from last week to try and knock the reps down. But they went up. See what I mean??!! What in all of HEL?? :eek: Back off at 150 X 15. CABLE BAR FRONT RAISES: 75 X 12. Immediate drop to 50 X 12. Felt very energetic. No rest needed. :lol: ONE-ARM BEHIND BACK CABLE SIDE-LATERALS: 60 X 12. Immediate drop to 45 X 10. ONE-ARM UPPER PULLEY REAR LATERALS: 75 x 12. Immediate drop to 45 x 15. What a workout!! I poured my heart and soul into it and reaped the rewards of my efforts. To the victor be the spoils!! :duel:

The Mixed Grip. When both palms face your body you have 8 fingers on 1 side of the bar and 2 thumbs on the other side. Your thumbs will give out first with heavier weights. The solution is to switch to the mixed grip.

* 1 Palm Facing You, 1 Palm Facing Away. This puts 4 fingers & 1 thumb on both sides of the bar. Both thumbs are supported by 4 fingers. Check the picture at the top for an example of the mixed grip.

* Face Your Dominant Hand Away. Tends to be the strongest position. Use it on your heaviest set. Alternate the supine/pronated hand on each of your submaximal sets to avoid muscle imbalances.

I love this part!!! :twisted:

Awesome workout, brother!! Congrats on that PR!! :clap2:
 
Timber, it mainly prevents the bar from trying to roll out of you hands when both facing the same direction. I do not do it with the underhand grip because I have seen some nasty biceps tears that way. If you use straps it is a mute point. I have started doing all my deads without straps to get my grip stronger..no homo!!
 
im actually looking for a new pair of heavy duty straps because i lost my old ones at the gym. Ive been doing deads for awhile now with double overhand no straps grip. Only going mixed grip for last set but i feel my grip can only take so much and i want to pull more weight so i need to remedy this with straps. I much rather do it double overhand than risk a tear or imbalance with mixed grip deads.

Versa Grips are wonders, a bit pricey, but I would pay for it every time.
 
We were next to Versa Grip at the Olympia and they really are great straps. But I would use them only as needed so you don't lose forearms and grip strength.

exactly. it comes into play when you can do more reps with that near max weight but you get cut short because the bar is slipping. I had APT prowriststraps and they were thick as sh1t, could prob handle 1000+ pounds. Ill look into Versa's thanks Volcom.
 
THUUUUNDER !! THIS IS WHERE YOU HIDING ?!

I'm with you piston. Now that I don't powerlift anymore, I do all deads (stiff-leg only here lately) with straps using an overhand grip. I don't have to concentrate on gripping instead of lifting the damn weight! I use my straps for shrugs, pulldowns, and rows also. I can feel the weight in my lats better and I can definitely use more weight with straps. I got an old Harbinger spring-type hand gripper to work my grip strength with. I'm not trying to work my grip when I'm doing dead or rows. LOL

Hey braddah. I know a lot of people think that Harbinger makes cheap sh*t, but I have a set of Harbinger's Dura-Grip Wrist Wraps that have a rubber ribbed side that always faces the bar. It sucks onto the bar and will not slip. They're thick as Hel. They were a little stiff curling around the bar at first. But now that they're broke in, I wouldn't part with them. :thumbsup: And they were only $10 a pair at D!ck's Sporting Goods. I don't know if that's a big national chain, or more localized to my area. But you should be able to find them almost anywhere. Everybody sells Harbinger stuff.
