Travis,

Congrats ... I haven't been posting much lately but I continue to follow strength athletics and your career.

Placing 2nd to the Big Z ... and finishing AHEAD of Koklayev and Muramets is...

Some perspective on this old, but always relevant conversation:

Bench shirts (indeed, all PLing gear) are simple machines. They store energy from the eccentric part of the lift (in this case...

Folks (on both sides of this issue) ... relax.

If Gustavo pouted and acted like a poor sport at the end of the night then people are free to call him on it. Just like fans are free to heckle a...

Nothing exceptional to report, just grindin' away.

Grippers up to #1 x 15 reps Pete #2 for 3 reps Tony.

Wrist curls up to 50DB x 10 Pete, 60DB x 10 Tony.

Congrats on the 2000+ PL total Travis ... the 801 pull is especially impressive given all the back issues you've been having.

Also, an 8:36 mile ain't too bad for a 300 pounder ... sounds like...

Some huge #s here ... 205 x 5 DB rows, 500 x 5 shrugs, 230 x 5 push presses.

Very nice.

And thanks for stopping by our log ... Pete did get his 405 dead a few weeks ago.

Big D > Yes, he did ... look back on sheet 13, he hit a 405 conventional DL and a 410 farmers DL a few weeks back ... slow but steady.

On Friday we went to the gym and workout out with two of my son's buddies.

As I recall we did.

Flat Bench

Up to 225 x 10, 335 x 4 for me and 205 x 8, 245 x 3 for Pete.

Machine Rows (can't...

Same 'ol routine ... grippers and wrist curls.

Maybe gotta change that up ... don't seem to be making a ton of progress.

Appreciate the encouragement as always.

Arms today ...

I echo what many others have said.

Arnold SHOULD appear on the list.

Sergio SHOULD NOT.

Nubret should be near the top.

And I have to say it (since no one else has).

One of the guys I looked up to when I first started lifting in the 70s.

Very sad to hear.

Rest in peace Mr. Park.

Dad won't be able to join me today ... so it's a solo workout.

You did hit a nerve, true.

I've seen too many people (typically "rookies") injure themselves over the years because some veteran told them "you gotta do this exercise this way if you want to...

Pryme,

The person who started this thread is a competitive powerlifter, not a teenager with 13 inch arms and wobbly elbows who doesn't understand proper form.

He's asking for advice about how...

Dude,

This isn't about "getting that number up" ... it's about developing a technique to safely get a heavy weight into position for an overhead press (that's what the original poster asked...
