**** off, Anthony. I already saw that thread. Go back to FI (****in Ignorant) and boast about your 400 bench press.

[eyeofthetiger]

i just saw your bench press effort, no offence man, but your form is terrible, id say your max. without your spotter is 200lbs if that, i think you should work on your form more, ive seen some of your other lifts and if you keep lifting the weight youre lifting with poor form, you could injure yourself in the future.

I also found this:

And by the way, people are making fun of your bench press in the exercises section ;)

I think that you're very wrong about your estimations because I did 205x4 with no assistance from my spotter about 4 weeks ago. Also, if you watch the 225x2 bench video again, you'll plainly see that my spotter gives no help for the first rep and only slight assistance at the sticking point, a little higher than my chest.

Of course, you wouldn't give specific tips and advice to help improve my "terrible" form.

I know about both threads and it doesn't bother me. Go bother someone else.

So yeah, how about you come to a meet, like, lets say The Classic next year, and make me "**** off" tough guy? Or are you going to have more better things to do, like take pics of yourself and post them up where you look like a 70's gay porn rip off? Eat a dick, hows that one sound Max? I can talk like you, eat ****, Max. Go **** your mother, Max. Id say a 405 raw bench press at 198 lbs bodyweight is something to be proud of, thats exactly like, 205 pounds more than you do, right? I did that with, good form, to, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight? Oh yeah, i did, i also do every other lift with good form so i get the full benifits and dont cheat myself out of the rewards. Hahaha whatever man, keep clowning yourself, one day its gonna come back and hit you, you wait and see, Max, ya friggen brain dead douche bag.

You obviously can't do simple mathematics very well. My last 1RM bench was 235 which is 170lbs less your bench, not 205.

What's up with the ****-ass attitude? Sorry about your miserable life, bro.

EDIT: Oh and you weigh between 40-45 pounds more than me too.

2) You're 65lbs heavier than me. Your lifts -should- be much better than mine.

3) Double check your homework because you probably made a whole bunch of typos, like in your last post.

Ummmm yeah, a spotters hands on the bar and getting ass ****ed while attemping to squat a weight you obviously cant do, doesn't count as a "max". It counts as a no lift, in the real world, not your fantasy world. With good slow form, youd be lucky to do 200 pounds. **** ass attiude is right, because i was emulating you, hahahahahaaha. Way to prove my point even further, buddy, and way to evade my challenge once again. Well, i still bench double my bodyweight, with good form, and with no help from my spotter, and i rep 100 plus pounds over my bodyweight on a regular basis, which is something you have yet to do, and have a long way to go, to do, and, with your **** form, something you probably, WONT DO hahaha. My life is great home chicken, i have a great job, make lots of money, oh and i dont loaf around and do nothing at the age of 22, and mooch off my rents like you prolly do. Do you have a job, like, do you work? Do you have a life other than doing circus comedy act lifts? Hahaha good lord, your a piece of work, keep up the "good work" DeezWeez, your stronger than everyone on this planet haha. Youd make a good mime at the Barnum and Bailys show, no joke.

Nah, college isn't my thing. I work 3 jobs currently and make close to 900-1000 a week, pay rent, and im doing great for myself and already have a carreer in construction and carpentry and if i go get my personal trainers license, i can be a trainer. I plan to be licensed under Poliquin in the future, if u have any idea who that is. Personally? No, not at all, i dont know you, i dont give a **** if you live, die, or grow mushrooms in your crack. However, i wouldn't mind meeting you, and just beating the ever loving **** out of you hahaha. Speaking of taking things personally, you might want to check yourself before you wreck yourself with this http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=503128.

And i will abide by Deez's wishes, and leave his journal. I said what i had to say, but those of us who are smart, know its like talking to the wall. Take it easy pal, i seriously hope your still walking in 5 years.

This is really getting quite ridiculous. My journal is now clogged with big logs of ****.


Well, if you would stop posting in it, we would have that problem :p

Just a quick q, is your form the same with your working sets as it is with the lower reps you are showing here?

It's the 300lb bitch that can't even deadlift his bodyweight. :D

DW- I really would like to know the answer to the question if ur form is the same on submax weights as it is with the max.

[big_baller]

So, what you mean to say is that you couldn't handle college, right?


That's not cool, some people just don't go to college... don't think your higher up because you do.

I go to college and understand that people doing labour jobs earn a truck load more than a basic office worker. I also know that 9 out of 10 richest men in Australia didn't go to university. And even the richest man in the world Bill gates left college after a year.

What are you studying anyways?

[BRADP2]

Hey, I didnt even go to highschool :D.

Seriously guys, you've said what you've needed to say. What are you still posting. Just let a guy lift, or post positive suggestions. There's no reason to post suggestions in a derrogatory nature.

[Newbtime]

after reading the last few pages of this thread and another i have lost all respect for DW.

We try to give him good advice because he is going to hurt himself. He doesnt listen, and flames and insults for no reason.

Your ego is hughe if you are going to argue with painthriller and try to make it out like your a better lifter then he is. Your "deadlift" probally is barley over double bodweight if done properly

Your bench is probaly maybe 200 if done properly

and your squat is probally barley 300.

Your numbers are good but your lifts arnt.

You need to wise up and leave your ego at the door of the gym, train to get stronger not to stroke your ego, a muscle can only contract so much and thats that. Flame me if you please, but you need to change your form and many other people on countless boards agree. it is 1,999 vrs 1 here.

Rome wasnt built in a day but once it was built it lasted a long time.

People tried that once...same result.

HAHA! Yeah, OK, buddy. I can do at least 20 reps with twice my bodyweight which is 310.

No body hates u...its just sad to see someone who cant come to terms with the fact that they have the ****tiest form in all their lifts. Just lower the weights and get a real PR man. U will fukcing injure urself soon and all th teens who suck ur dick and think what u do is awesome, well dont show them vids of lifts that r simply wrong.

27th day bending.

[DieselWeasel]

DW you are a joke, the bend was a joke, and the phonebook rip was ridiculous. Your lifts suck. Your form is terrible. Stick to bicep curls. Though, I am sure you would find a way to screw that up as well.

Strange, you posted this on FI:


Believe it or not, the bend was not that bad, however, if he were to bend without padding and his hand slipped he might gash his throat.

Do you have a split personality disorder?

EDIT: Not only do you have mulitiple personalities, but you're also a sick, sadistic bastard because you want to see me critically wound or kill myself. Oh AND you're posting pics on FI that are almost 7 months old.

[gripguru316]

A 6" x 3/16" square FBBC stock bend is not impressive. It is not worth making a movie over. Your just an attention whore. Your bending form was okay, but there is no need to advertise the bend. Your the only one who thinks your hot****. And with pictures like these http://www.fortifiediron.net/invision/uploads/post-3305-1104121498_thumb.jpg I am not the one with personality disorders.

If it's a PR for me, then it certainly IS worth making a movie. How am I advertising the bend by posting it in my TRAINING JOURNAL and on the Grip Board in which I asked for help?

BTW, do you even bend?

When have I ever considered myself "hot****" ?

you said you choose not to lower your weight on bench press. how do you plan on doing that without lowering weight?

Yes, I've been working on my squat and deadlift form.

My bench form will improve because I will put my legs further back towards the bench and bring the bar down slower during the descent.

My bench form will improve because I will put my legs further back towards the bench and bring the bar down slower during the descent.

i'd lower the weight to about 205-215 and make sure to get all those things taken care of - bar descent, foot positioning, elbow position, etc. - then go ahead and hit that 225.

any clips of a clean squat or dead coming soon?
maybe that will stop people from flaming you.

I'm not lowering the bench press weight unless I go for 205x5 or 205x6 because the last time that I used that particular poundage, I only did 4 clean reps.

I'm not posting any more lifting vids for a while, only bending and tearing videos.

dont you think 4 clean reps of 205 is better than 1 1/2 sloppy reps of 225?
you dont' think taking a step back in weight to work on form is worth it?

it will help you out long term and not just next week saying "i got a new PR"

but, hey, whatever works for you. let us know how that 230lb bench goes!

[9cyclops9]

I'm not lowering the bench press weight unless I go for 205x5 or 205x6 because the last time that I used that particular poundage, I only did 4 clean reps.

Do you need a PR every time you lift? I don't understand. Sounds like you're shooting yourself in the foot.

If you can't lift X number of pounds with good form, the only logical thing to do is wait until you can before trying it again. Multiple attempts at a weight you can't lift properly won't help you lift it. If I were to try to squat 400 every week (I can't yet), I wouldn't suddenly be able to squat it one week. I have to build up to that point, making sure I don't move faster than good form will allow me to.

But I'm sure you've heard that before, so take it or leave it. Your choice, but I'd venture to say that many of the people telling you exactly what I just told you know way more about lifting than either of us. Whether they suggest it nicely, or are douchebags about it, they still know more than us and not taking their advice because they aren't nice won't do any good. Grow a thick skin and don't worry about whether people make fun of you. It's the internet, after all.

If I did go for a 1RM, it would be 240, not 230. My current best 1RM is 235.

No, I'm probably attempting to do 205x6, next push day.

You're missing my point. You don't need to worry about PRs until your form is in order. A maximal effort (in this case, a 6 rep max) is not the way to work on form, a sub-max effort is.

ease up on the 1RMs and PRs, and get clean reps with correct form with weight you can handle to work on your proper technique.

you can keep a journal on your computer with Notepad if you dont want anyone to read it.

When have I ever insulted you? I would like to see the text, quoted verbatim without any editing.

I started this training journal to keep track of my progress, besides also having my spiral hardcopy journals, not to listen to armchair experts and e-thugs.

[9cyclops9]

That's simply not what I'm going to do. Here is my week by week plan:

week 1) 205x6
week 2) 225x3
week 3) 240x1

You don't like it? Don't read my journal. That's all there is to it.

I never said I didn't like it, I just offered some advice. Nicely, I might add. But you still decided to be an ass about it. THIS is why people don't like you, and I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt despite all I've seen.

All it takes is "thanks for the advice, but I think I'll do it this way." And my opinion of you would have still been neutral. But since you got defensive and decided to be a jerk, I'll refrain from ever offering advice again. Not everyone is out to "get" you, so try not being a jerk to everyone that offers help.

you dont seem to have any respect for the people that are trying to help you.

"In the 225x2 bench video, only the spotter's fingertips were on the bar. Did you not see that? Watch it again. He only helps when I hit the sticking point during the first portion of the second rep. But, I'm definitely growing very weary of this argument over my bench, squat and deadlift."

"Like... I... said...

week 1) 205x6
week 2) 225x3
week 3) 240x1"

"My spotter will not have his hands on the bar. Do you have any other questions?"

i'd like to see video of your next push workouts! especially that 240.

remember, feet planted firmly and controlled descent on all reps. ****, even a pause would help eliminate any doubts.

How the hell was I being a jerk and an ass? That's ridiculous. And people call -me- defensive?

OK, here you go:
Thanks for the advice, but I think I'll do it MY way.

[9cyclops9]

The first part of the post I won't touch, because I have no desire to argue with you.


OK, here you go:

Fine with me. I hope it goes well.

[9cyclops9]

Spare me the pleasantries.

And you wonder why I called you a jerk. You assumed I was being sarcastic, when I was being genuine. Oh well, your problem, not mine.

And I DO hope it goes well. Honestly. I'd like to see you rub it in people's noses. Not that I have anything against those people, but I always like to see someone prove the majority wrong.

[Cricket_Fire]

Deez, I don't know what you've started, but this may be the fastewst growing journal ever! Yesterday I think it was somewhere around 1250, now it's in the 1300's :eek:

[Radok]

DW, ignore it. You just add fuel to the flames when you respond to it.

[BPP]

Read my above post.

1) i've had to delete more of YOUR comments than anyone else's...keep in mind that mesasge was to BOTH sides
2) like they said, using sub-maximal effort is the way to get your technique down and strength up

[DieselWeasel]

I've seen pics of Hoobas girls, they're quite nice actually. Look at the 1st thing in Radoks sig, and learn to do it.

Laughing at myself is fine, it's when -other- people do it that pisses me off. Well, besides the pic that you made. That was a little funny.

Oldtime: Yeah, that's how it is.

[Tormented]

Dude ignore 'em, they're all just jealous of you. If some weak guy posted vids they wouldn't care, but you weigh only 150 *and* you're almost as strong as they are, and getting stronger: you're a threat to them. The only way they can feel better about themselves is to attack you, and try to get you to lower the weight you lift so your gains will slow. How many times have you been told to lift a lighter weight next time? If you're only benching 160 and deadlifting 300 then you're not a threat anymore, and they can laugh at your weakness. Don't give in! Fight it! Your strength is amazing; many people look up to you, envy you, treasure you. Some day, they may find it in their hearts to love you. You just have to endure the storm, and soon the prize will be yours.

no offense dude, but the last few lines sounded like you were hitting on him. I agree with the rest mostly. I dont know why other people care so much about how another guy lifts. They enjoy insulting him while convincing themselves they're being just because they mask their outlashes with his form.

[DieselWeasel]

Tormented and BRADP2: Thanks for the support, guys.

[BPP]

If some weak guy posted vids they wouldn't care.

wrong
swollix got the same treatment with a very low bencgh

so did Mule with squats over 1000lbs

its not the number, its how its lifted why people critique

[BPP]

if it continues to be a problem, i will start banning people and close this to clean it up

quit egging him on, and you quit responding

[capnseamonkey]

bro...you just destroyed that cockjockies long b/s post with 3 little sentences. i guess its also no the lenght but the effectivness of the post???


seriously though, you just sumed it up perfectly. its not how much you lift...its how you lift it.

[J-unit]

I don't want to post much here for fear of getting banned but

It is absolutely the way you lift the weight AND your attitiude. Mike Miller squatted 1200lbs and didn't look good, then he turned into a crying little girl when told that and quit etc. He wasn't given crap cause we were all jealous of him, of course not. It is given Mike Miller is strong as hell, it is given that DW is a strong guy, no one disagreed, but they both lost respect for the way they lifted and their attitudes. That is what is important.

Tormented, what you just said smacks of a bad mother telling their little boy that they're only getting teased because the others are jealous of them. Welcome to the real world, its not like that. DW is not a threat to anybody, just the sport of powerlifting as a whole. If you lift with bad form and throw the videos all over the net and expect praise, it makes a mockery of other lifters and the sport. Telling a lifting judge to go shove it is just immature and deserving of the criticism he received. I hope you grow up one day tormented, cause your attitude sucks.

[Danimal]

seriously though, you just sumed it up perfectly. its not how much you lift...its how you lift it.

Thats exactly it. I have more respect for a 250lb person benching 135 with perfect form than I do for a 160lb person saying they bench 225 and it turns out to be one of the ugliest lifts you ever saw.

As far as being strong, DW has potential but he's not that strong. I know 160's who bench 400 and total 1300+, with judged, clean lifts, and there are a ton of them out there. DW will never get there if it continues to lift the way he does now.

[Gr8Ape]

How about gaining a little weight, say, 40-50 pounds huh?

[DieselWeasel]

How about gaining a little weight, say, 40-50 pounds huh?

I should be 205lbs at just under 5'6"? You're a genius. :rolleyes:

ArmySloth: You should be banned for provoking me even after a mod warned everyone including but not limited to posting, "you can eat a big bowl of chocolate dick-a-roos"

[Halfway]

I think tormented's post was what is known as a 'parody' or sometimes as '****ing with someone'

DW, going for a 'pr' with ****ty form everytime you lift is going to get you injured. It's commendable that you want to get strong but without using common sense in your lifting you're going to be sidelined with injuries for most of your lifting career.

giving me neg rep for actually tryint to help instead of making fun of you is sad - i can bench press your deadlift max (without any 'touching') and squat almost twice what you can. Instead of flaming people who want to help you had listened to their advice this journal wouldn't have ended up such a train wreck

time for a reality check bro, your spine has to last you a lifetime - so do your shoulder joints.

You don't like this "train wreck" of a journal? LEAVE.

You're the joker that was telling me that I can deadlift 455x2 earlier. Now you're ripping me apart with your fake numbers. OK, buddy.

[CaptainQuint]

You neither deadlift nor bench like a powerlifter (which is why this can't be a powerlifting journal), I STRONGLY recommend you get your form looked at before you injure yourself.

[DieselWeasel]

I never claimed to be strictly a powerlifter which proves that you have not read my journal.

[CaptainQuint]

I know you don't claim it, but none the less it's gotta be a pain that you have no approved lifts. Your deadlifts are cheated, and you can't bench properly?
For the sake of your health, get this in order man!

Sure thing! :rolleyes:

After reading the **** that you posted in the bench press thread that BENTLEY started, I'm not listening to a god damn word that you have to say.

[CaptainQuint]

I don't understand why you keep a journal when you don't seem to listen to the input people offer? Your business, but it makes no sense.

And Tormented's post seems a lot like a joke, ok? Don't live in an illusion, you're not really getting support from anybody here.

Maybe you SHOULD listen seeing how I with my very modest training experience far outbench you?????

[_Lifter4Life_]

height and weight your a strong kid, why don;t you go for perfect forum and lose a little pounds? working the right way will cause you to grow faster, but u are strong for your size, no one can take that away, but for example somone deadlifting 300 perfect makes me more impressed then someone pullin 380 with horriable form, up to you, think about the future

This is really way past stupid. Leave this crap in the bodybuilding forum. Just because you can type stuff on the internet doesn't make you tough. We all see people doing lifts wrong in the gym, but never say anything. There isn't anything new you can tell DW. It's his choice to lift how he wants to lift. Just let it go. This section should be better than this.

[DieselWeasel]

I do powerlifting, strongman, olympic lifts, grip training and armwrestling.

The only strongman stuff you've seen me do is bending? What about the viking press, farmer's walk, zercher deadlift, card tearing and phone book tearing, etc.?

[gripguru316]

Card tearing and phone book tearing are not strongman events. Get your facts in order before you say such stupid things. You can't even do those things right anyway.

[DieselWeasel]

What's wrong with my bending and tearing technique, Mr. Armchair-Expert?

EDIT: Again, no actual specifics, just general BS remarks.

[DieselWeasel]

Good job ignoring my post, cause you know I'm right.

You don't do olympic lifts, please stop saying that.

I will ignore you all I want.

Yes, I do olympic lifts. I do the barbell clean and press and one-arm dumbbell jerk. Those aren't olympic type movements? If you say no, you're obviously ignorant.

[gripguru316]

The bend was okay; the phonebook rip was a waste of film. Something that takes 20 minutes to rip is just not impressive.

[DieselWeasel]

The bend was okay; the phonebook rip was a waste of film. Something that takes 20 minutes to rip is just not impressive.

1) I only showed the last 30 seconds, more or less of the 1300 page tear, so how could you possibly know how long it took me to tear it in half?

2) ****, even if it -did- take 20 minutes, the fact that someone persevered through a 20 minute tear shows intestinal fortitude which you lack.

3) Tell that **** to Brad Martin of the Diesel Crew, who ripped a 1700 or 1800 page phone book in like half an hour, you tool.

Having seen your "olympic" vids you can't do them. If you would like some help on form I will gladly help though..

[BRADP2]

I say we leave the soldier talk out of those. You guys both serve/d your purpose. Respect both of you

[BRADP2]

I never posted any olympic lifting vids. If I did, it was maybe a clean and press from my basement, a long time ago. You didn't even know about me, back then. So which phantom vid are you referring to?
DW, you have posted a few. Some snatches, swings and whatnot

[DieselWeasel]

DW, you have posted a few. Some snatches, swings and whatnot

Oh, word. I posted a one-arm barbell snatch and one-arm dumbbell snatch.

[MT!]

the best soldier's are the ones who don't need to talk about it all the damn time. you both sound ****ing ridiculous.

back to lifting and civility. please! of course that won't happen. but give it a shot.

[MT!]

ok you're right. maybe they're both "good" soliders. how about this instead. the soldiers that command the most respect don't feel the need to talk about it all the time? that i am qualified to say.

[SDFlip]

Yeah, we were lucky. But we also lost three good men because of a lobbed grenade from inside of a children hospital to the three guys below. :(

ArmyBitch: Like I said, any soldier who needs to use words and phrases such as "highspeed" and "buddy ****er" and "squared away" and "no-go" and "S.O.P.", etc. etc. in their regular conversations do so only to show others how "hardcore" they are which is total BS. You're a ****in poser, dude. When I was still in the service, we laughed at ball-lickers like you.


^^^

WTF? i am i actually agreeing with Diesel Weasel?!?!?

ArmySloth - you sound like an idiot..... please stop talking about "who's a better soldier" it's ridiculous.

Max - i have a tremendous amount of respect for what you did us. ..... still don't know why you won't listen to the sound advice given to you about your form. j/k..... i know you don't give a f.uck

[Radok]

Moving away from the DW bashing contest, that was an impressive bend. I'm thinking I want to start some nail bending myself.

[9cyclops9]

Yeah, that was a good bend. I haven't tried bending under my chin, I'm afraid of slipping and breaking my jaw or something I guess. :D I bend at chest level.

The wrap makes a difference, eh? Some good advice you got from the guys at GripBoard.

The trick is to use a rubber band around each wrap. That **** works wonders.

Radok: Thanks. Yeah, you should start bending. It's f'n great.

LISTEN UP

i just spent time cleaning this thing up. thats it

either talk about his lifts constructively(eg not bash him), or dont post...you will get banned if you do, bc im tired of dealing with this.

dw->if it starts, you WILL ignore it and msg me about it. do not start more problems yourself.

also, theres nothing new any of you are gonna say to make him rethink his form, so whats the point.

:mad:

I was waiting for a mod to do that^

Now that was impressive your form looked 100% better on the kink.
I can tell you wrapped the pads alot better too, i think you might benefit from more chalk on the pads and wrapping a rubbed band VERY tight almost breaking tight aorund the end where the nail goese in, so you dont have that slipping problem, as much. Dont forget to do sledge levering at all angles too. Your on the road to a blue anyday day now, once i bent a yellow i went right to a blue, check the dates on these pictures.. :). Goodluck with future bending its only a matter of time before your slappin down g5's and g8's

[FullMetal]

I don't know how to respond after some of the negative comments that you posted in the past and the last line in your sig which reads, "DW is a no form assclown"

But if that's sincere then thanks.

Oldtime: Yeah, I need to try chalk along with the rubber bands which worked well on the yellow. The next time that I bend, I will probably try a 7" x 1/4" round piece of FBBC stock which has a yield strength of 240. Next session after that, I will attempt a blue nail (260 yield strength.)

Honestly, I need to do more sledge levering because it's been a while since I've done that with my 10lb sledgehammer. It's great for wrist strength.

awsome bend dw. ur DO is better then last time but i think it still needs some work but that will come with more bending and what not.

good job on the yellow man i knew you could do it.

i would do some volume with yellows or grade 2 bolts before moving up. once u can do 4+ yellows you should be good for an ironmind blue

keep up the great bending dw

[MT!]

where do you learn how to bend?

is there a site or something that explains about the wraps and what not?

and also what muscles and type of strength do bending test? it seems like it might be a lot of forearms and maybe some chest?

You beat me to it! :)

Yeah, those are basically all of the bending websites that you will ever need. The Grip Board and Gripper Mania are both message boards and the other three links have articles, pictures and videos pertaining to bending and other assorted feats of strength.

Wrist strength is heavily involved in all styles of bending, but it's also a total upper body workout. If you bend double overhand, it's more back. If you bend double underhand, it's more chest.

Porky: Yeah, volume bending is another option that I can use in my quest to bend the blue nail. I also need to get my elbows higher. Thanks for the advice and support. :)

i dont suggest trying that YET, your form isnt 100% yet and when you slip like you did on the yellow when your bending like a g5 you make chip a tooth etc, work on your form and do volume let your hands thicken and your tendons strengthen, just like it says in the dieselcrew article. I would do about 2 workouts of as many yellows you can without leting form slip and your ready to move up to somthing higher grade/shorter/thicker

That sounds cool. I will probably try some FBBC stock with 240lb yield strength for my next bend or two, possibly volume work with that stock. I need to use that damn sledge too.

Zercher Deadlift

It was a good try, Dee Dubs. The heat can definately negatively affect you.

Yeah, hopefully I can lift in the other weight room, located on the opposite side of the gymnasium on campus. It's supposed to be less hot than the one that I've been using. We'll see how that goes.

[J-unit]

Good job man, what happened on the 270? Where did it stall?

[DieselWeasel]

Good job man, what happened on the 270? Where did it stall?

I think it stalled on both attempts more or less shortly before I was able to lap the barbell. So I didn't get very far, nowhere near lockout. But I -will- do better, next time.

BTW, why are you trying to act cool with me after all the ****-talking that you've done on FI, bb.com and Body Recomp?

I think it stalled on both attempts more or less shortly before I was able to lap the barbell. So I didn't get very far, nowhere near lockout. But I -will- do better, next time.

BTW, why are you trying to act cool with me after all the ****-talking that you've done on FI, bb.com and Body Recomp?


Ok, actually because I'm not a total dick and I want to know what went wrong. You did nothing to warrant any "**** talking" this time

If you're "not a total dick", you would remove the DW tribute thread which is a sticky on FI. You and others there post pics that are 7 months old and take every word that I post out of context. Plus, you guys wished me harm by posting things like, "I hope he punctures his neck and bleeds to death." after I put the link to the yellow nail bend in my training journal.

The tribute thread will stay until you learn good form and we feel you are a changed man. If you keep lifting like you do in an unclean fashion it's staying put.

Good stuff. Congrats man.

Nice lifts otherwise also. Have you gotten a gripper between the #2 and #3? You should get an HG300 or a BBSM if you're repping the #2 like that. Check the "Selling" section of The GripBoard, there's some good stuff there. I got an HG300 last week from supermagnamon for $15 shipped. Gotta climb the ladder, bro!

Yeah, I have a few grippers. My collection includes the CoC Trainer, #1, #2, #3, HG200 and HG300. I use the two HG grippers sometimes, but tonight I wanted to test my crush strength with the more common grippers (#1 and #2) to see where I stand.

I'm a lot more into bending and tearing, these days. That's where I put my main focus but as you can see, I won't neglect my crush grip. :)

Yeah, the kink is always the hardest part of the bend for me, regardless of what I'm bending.

I usually do 3 or sometimes 4 warmup bends. That seems reasonable to me.

5.5" blue nail - 0

- I thought I would be able to bend this piece today even after card tearing, last night. I probably should've tried a 5.75" blue or did a volume session with multiple (2 or 3) blues. I will probably attempt the 5.75" blue, the next time that I bend. However, I might change my mind and do some volume work with regular blues.

EDIT: I forgot to include a failed attempt at bending a 1/4" grade 2 bolt after the 5.5" blue nail. So it's not like I just quit after the failed 5.5" blue.

[Porky]

2-3 bars is volume for you? :)

if u miss a max attempt hit up 5-10 other bars. even if u make the max hit up 5-10 other bars. you should get urself a bucket of 60d's soon.

if u just warmup and miss a max attempt whats the point?

warmup do 5-10+ bars,
or warmup, max, do some more bars

start hitting the levers too.

nice pr on card tearing. closing in on that deck tear

[9cyclops9]

Yeah get a bucket of 60d timber ties from Home Depot, I think there's like 300-400 nails per bucket. Great for volume.

I forgot to include a 1/4" grade 2 bolt attempt after the failed 5.5" blue nail. It's at the end of my last post.

Let's just say that after the whole thing was said and done, I was definitely disappointed, especially because I was showing a friend of mine how to bend and got him started with it. He actually was able to U a 5" piece of FBBC 3/16" round stock which has 195lbs of yield strength.

Yeah, on the way to the movie theater to watch Star Wars: Episode III, earlier this evening, I thought about doing sledge levering, tomorrow. I'm definately doing that after I return from the vet center.

The card tearing PR was a real bitch and took a while, but I did it. It was more of an endurance feat, rather than a strength feat. :D

9cyclops9: I wish I could get my hands on a bucket of timber ties. I've wanted one for the longest time, but I can't get a ride to Home Depot or a similar store.

BRADP2: I wanted to make a video of the 43 card tear, last night... BUT the tear just took too damn long. So even -if- I can tear a whole deck before the end of the summer, the tear will just take too much time and be unable to fit on the memory card in my digital camera.

KevinStarke: Thanks for reading my journal. I watched your 315 bench press video. All I can say is: W O W. I'm weak off of the chest. Do you have any tips or advice that would allow me to increase my bench press poundage with good form?

[KevinStarke]

Just go all out man, i've always loved destroying my chest in the weightroom and i would say just go heavy and always keep good form it'll pay off in the end, without good form our little bodies just cant handle the big weight.

[DieselWeasel]

Just go all out man, i've always loved destroying my chest in the weightroom and i would say just go heavy and always keep good form it'll pay off in the end, without good form our little bodies just cant handle the big weight.

That sounds good, but I was hoping for more specifics, like exercises that I should do to help my strength from the chest and set/rep schemes, etc.


I did some sledge levering today, mostly front and rear levering, overhead levering and ballistic front levering. That should help my wrist strength for bending.

[9cyclops9]

That sounds good, but I was hoping for more specifics, like exercises that I should do to help my strength from the chest and set/rep schemes, etc.

I believe speed work would build explosiveness off of the chest. Take light weight and do sets of 3-5 as fast as you possibly can. I think you use 60% or so of your 1RM for this, but you might want to check the Westside articles on that one.

[KevinStarke]

Ah my bad, i dont really have very many secrets, i've gotten my bencht to where it is pretty much by just going really heavy on bench itself. I dont do anything special really, dumbells for flat and incline, dips, tricep work, etc...

[KevinStarke]

I dont go too nuts with weight on my weighted dips so as not to further mess with my shoulder. I usually just do sets of 15-20 with a 45 lb plate or maybe a 45 and 10 if im feeling good

I got back into lifting regularly either late 2003 or early 2004.

While loading the last 45lb plate for the 425x2 deadlift set, both of my hands were severely pinched between the 45 that I was loading and the three 45s that were already loaded on that particular side of the barbell. Because of this, blood was dripping and I needed to hurry and put pressure on both hands. After I managed to stop most of the bleeding, I proceeded to get the deadlift PR of 425x2.

Ohh, you mean 280 pounds of force are required to bend the piece. Yield strength is something different.

No, I always read that it was yield strength, not force.

Perhaps people call it that, but in scientific terms yield strength is defined as the *stress* required to cause permanent deformation in a compression or tension test, not force required in a bending test.

Hey diesel what does your workout split look like when training grip meaning how many days on and off. You might have said this earlier in your log but I'm to lazy to look. Later

During the summer, I lift in the weight room on Tueday, Wednesday and Thursday. I usually do bending or other grip training every third day, more or less. Sometimes, I bend whenever I feel up to it. However, I definitely was -not- up to it, today. :(

Hey diesel you ought to try a split 4 days on in a row then 3 to 4 off. That is kind of what I am doing right now. On the last few days your strength will be down but you will still be getting stronger. If you haven't tried a routine like this then it would probably work pretty good for you to shock your system. I'm doing that split training high volume grippers, then either bending or wristcurls for my main grip exercises. Just a thought if you dont like that idea its fine. Either way I hope you keep improving and get stronger. Keep up the good work.
