A Giraffe Amongst Gorillas - My Strongman Log

[LoveMyInk]

I do them every other week so I figured I'd start with a mini and then try and beat my number the second go round. Then swith to a monster, repeat, switch to light band, repeat...

It's humid as crap and been raining so I'll be prowling on the road....it sucks so much worse than the grass.

stupid pressing



and be happy you have a prowler to play with i dont

[NC_Tarheel]

I box squatted with mine. (I always box squat haha) But didn't set the chains or anything yesterday since I didn't have straps up and kept it light.
You have a rack so you can actually bail out from under the bar right?

I'd almost say to try box squatting with them first, or set your pins high for the first couple of sets an SPF squat until you figure out the groove and what not.

Film please

Yeah..I've got a rack so no problem there.

I'm going straight to my buddy's house from work so I won't be able to film

Will report back with inflated e-stats

sounds good.
I'm glad that you noticed the pressure was on and decided to throw on briefs.
I'm coming for your squat and bench numbers. You get height and weight, I get a layer of canvas

Squats were fast and awesome as God intended. I thought I was being a little greedy and went for a 10 lb PR...after the set I realized that I sold myself a little short. 2 more weeks and I'm going for a 1RM so I'm definitely looking forward that PR


EDIT: Here's a summary of my experience with groove briefs.....

Groove Briefs - 1

The Giraffe - 0


Maybe I'll mess with them another day....but it won't be any time soon

[Black_Spit]

Just so I'm understanding, that was with the briefs?

Nice job hitting a PR man. I love the feeling I have all day after a squat PR lol.

[thom2355]

Thanks guys.


Back story Cliffs....



had a gift card from Christmas

threw in a $25 pair of briefs from Inzer on an order for the hell of it

(thought I could maybe use them for Husafel or Conan's wheel)

finally got around to trying them yesterday



Workout Cliffs....



Got HR up like I was doing a medley trying to get them on

hit a nice quarter squat with 225 to warm up

followed that up with 2 half reps of 315 (good speed out of the "hole" though )

went for 365 and just dumped it on the rack

I took them off and continued on to abs like nothing happened

[NC_Tarheel]

I have a blue ring around the top of both of my quads for some nice war wounds

[thom2355]

Put briefs on ebay. Advertise as never worn. Sell them. Laugh at other's misfortune????

I think they have a tendency to throw you forward. Cause it's hard as balls to sit back.
So I guess I'm gonna be the only gear whore of the group?

My workout partner has a 242 squat suit...I may toy with that a little just because it might be a little easier to get on

I have learned to wear either under armour briefs or cotton tightie whities under my Rehband shorts.

Getting your boys chafed on time will make you rethink other options

Hadn't done yoke since October...it wasn't a pretty sight

[liftingson]

Thats some nice deads even with a fail!
