This Week in the O35 (pics/vids)

After my sheiko workout today:

[NorwichGrad]

You could always just compete in squat and deads, and throw up whatever bench number.

Or just do deadlift only.

+1. .Korr beat me to it.. There is a 21-year-old college kid at my gym. He competes DL only..

You should consider it, Flex. Being a competitive strength athlete is lots of fun..

[bigtallox]

Today I tied a frame deadlift PR ( for this particular frame, other frames I can deadlift 60+ more pounds ) but it was a much better lift this time.

[fittofattofit]

Back is looking great buddy

Thanks
The problem is how to get the other body parts to catch up

Turkey Day shoulder workout

Huge arms, shoulders and traps. Mirin' those forearms as well. Looking strong!

After my sheiko workout today:

Your delts are really popping and you can't hide those lats and that V --- great mass Vytis, and you're really wide for a tall guy

You're as strong as an ox Ox!
Seriously alpha!

Your neighbours must get a kick out of you. Nice work!

Had a power-lifting comp yesterday and made a little video of a few lifts I did.

If you've been following my journal, you'll already know that I'm lifting with a torn rotator cuff in my right shoulder, so don't come in looking for some huge bench numbers, they aren't there. LOL

Weighed in at 202lbs

My lifts went as follows-
Squat- 573,606,623
Bench-325,342,358
Deadlift-573

I didn't get footage of my 573 squat or my 358 bench due to dip****s standing in front of the camera!!

I only got one deadlift in unfortunately due to my shoulder being very pissed off by the end of the day. I was really bummed because I had pulled a few 600 deads in training but I haven't done one in a meet yet. I still totaled 1554, which I'm certainly happy with. Now, after I'm able to walk again due to some serious DOMS and sore knees, I'll start back up again and train for something around March.

You're looking huge as well --- it just goes to show how the more you shred down, the bigger you look

[Sen8or]

That's insane cmoore, awesome stuff

[Sen8or]

Whoa. That's amazing. You're something else, man. LOL. Sometimes I forget that you are a bodybuilder when you post mind-boggling stunts. Can't wait to see what you're gonna do next.


Anyway, I wanted to show my artistic and creative side as well.

Please feel free to turn up volume if you like Pavarotti. (As a side note, it's kinda sad how I didn't appreciate Pavarotti's talent until after he was gone.)

[drudixon]

From yesterday. Watched it, and fixed the bench position (moved further towards head) and spread the legs farther to prevent any butt lift. Anyway, 235 x 5 bench.

[pharmamarketer]

Had a power-lifting comp yesterday

Congrats. Very well done. I like the boots

You sir, are a freak. The good kind, not the pierced face, fire blowing kind

Could not watch this on my I Pad but if it has Pavarotti I am certain I would like it. I am a big fan of his as well

Great vids in here guys:

Legs are growing....slowly...

Nothing Cool? My son thought that was the coolest thing ever

Cool vid norwich

frickin road map, awesome

This is a little crappy one overall but I thought I should throw it up anyways. Did chest yesterday, was feeling pretty good.

Incllne DB's:
90x10
90x10
95x8
100x5 (first time trying the 100's so I was really happy)

moved on to flat bench
225x10
245x6(was starting to gas so I let up because I really wanted to put on weight later)
275x2
then I tried 300(video below) spotter said he just touched bar to stabalize but I know it wouldn't count. That being said though I'm pretty happy with the attempt, already had spent a lot of energy on incline so I think next week I will start with flat and see if I can push it up a bit easier. Never had this much drive to push new weights, I have the O35ers to thank for that.

Video is fuzzy, took my son on a callout earlier in the day and let him play fruit ninja while eating a jelly doughnut. Angle also sucks but didn't realize until later.

critiques always welcome

WTF? That is the most backward'ish sh!t I have ever seen!

Who the hell taught you how to use the belt for added weight?

[bigtallox]

I still totaled 1554

Nice job.

[oldsuperman]

I worked chest last Friday.

[EB68]

Pulled a new deadlift PR today. 435 at 170lbs. bodyweight.



I got a little excited at the end, I have been trying to get this for a while.

Nobody, I would like a proper dipping belt, but sometimes you have to work within the resources available.

Is the weight not meant to be directly below / between the legs like that?

Can you possibly get any more sexier? Damn woman you need to stop with the pics, it is unfair to some of us who can only look

Very nice family pic!

That worked well for a dipping belt, but you put it on backwards man the plate should to be to the front so that the belt is supported by your back, not your stomach.

[Sen8or]

ah, got ya, cheers for the correction
