This Week in the O35 (pics/vids)

[tryintorebuild]

Cool pic. Every time I did that in gym class it made my winky feel funny

Back in gym class, I had trouble climbing the rope with just my arms, now I can do it in steel toed boots, a hard hat and with a tool belt on. Guess I've improved something with age.

Visiting family in pa for thanksgiving. I searched for a gym before we left. Had to travel about 30 min to get away from all the franchise ones. Found a good one. A real gym....with chalk and everything! Best part....not a person using any of the treadmills

Went in today and it was legs. I have not done deads in a while so I started with them. Having not done them since I started my cut....I was a little worried about my strength.
I said screw it and slapped on 500 after a few warm-up sets.

Pulled 500x6. Not bad for a 189lb skinny guy Only one rep off my best at 209lbs.

Felt a little funny videoing it in public.....yea....not like my home gym

Shot a pic to prove I was actually in a real gym




Shot of some skinny legs




Everyone have a good turkey day!

I haven't quite got the nerve up to video in public, but then I work out at my work sites gym. Maybe it would have been easier in a place where I was a stranger.

So, are you breaking the diet for Thanksgiving?

Finally in the 4 plate club. Had a bad set up and no hip pop which I just forgot to do. Oh well. It's done.

Good job.

So, are you breaking the diet for Thanksgiving?

Not really. I'll just eat most of my carbs with dinner. I am not a big sweet person (cakes pies...etc). We are also having a very low key dinner. My wife's grandmother is 95 and it is just us and our kids with her. We packed most of the food and will just be cooking a bird. She does not have much in the way of cooking stuff....and it is a very small kitchen. (Old Pennsylvania the small house) We are just happy to still have her and we are cooking most of what we know she likes.

With that said.....I'll probably do a little carb load (refeed) with an extra serving of mashed potatoes

The gym gave me a week to come in for free.....so I am going to hit my Friday workout too!

For the week I am just making sure to hit my cals and protein. I'll survive if I am off a little I am sure. Happy thanksgiving everyone!

Mirin' the thickness of those quads and hammies, and the cuts in those calves!
Not skinny legs at all.....your calves have good size they just don't match your upper body and upper leg mass

Finally in the 4 plate club. Had a bad set up and no hip pop which I just forgot to do. Oh well. It's done.

Great work Dru.......and not just 405 x 1 but you nailed a 2nd rep!
I'm suitably impressed

I was inspired by Stephanie’s action pics. A friend of mine who used to compete as a bodybuilder in the 90’s and is now a master powerlifter does photography as a hobby. I asked him to take some shots.

Great shots! Not many can look Alpha in a Mickey Mouse shirt....

NorwichGrad - Those are Fantastic shots!

Actually, that was goofing around after the meet. In the Meet, I pull a 550lb. but missed on a PR attempt at 565.

Impressive lifts! (Even the fail)

Quick back shot:

Wow, just fantastic!

Agreed. Holy crap, I would kill for a waist that small!

Couple pics from the other day. With my shoulder injury, I'm having a hard time hitting poses without pain. I'll be taking a break from posing for a while...bores me to death anyways...

Thank you for going through the pain just to make us happy - looking awesome!

Here's a shot from today's session.

That's a heck of a pair of arms - I'm totally envious.

Great job on the deads! Were they gawking at you?

Congratulations! You made it look easy.

[NorwichGrad]

Happy Thanksgiving!

BTW, I never really talked about the color coding in Oly.

Big Plates:
Red – 25kg (55lbs)
Blue – 20kg (44lbs)
Yellow – 15kg (33lbs)
Green – 10kg (22lbs)

The small plates are 10% of the ‘Mother Plates’
Small Change Plates:
Red – 2.5kg
Blue – 2.0kg
Yellow-1.5kg
Green -1.0kg

There are also two (2) motherless baby plates. Both are white.
The smaller baby white plate – 0.5kg
The bigger baby white plate – 5.0kg

Male bars are 20kg (44lbs) with 28mm dia.
Female bars are 15kg (33lbs) with 25mm dia.




Experimenting with squat jerk. There are ways to bring bar overhead after the clean - split jerk, power jerk, and the squat jerk. Most Olyers are split jerkers. It is the most stable position. Squat jerk is received in the lowest position. Not much hip power is generated because the lifter only has to 'hitch' the bar a few inches, but it also requires the most stability, balance, precision, and flexibility. Nevertheless, medals have been won by all three types of jerkers.

Nice. Digging the everlast song as well.

Good job.

Thank's y'all. Deadlift envy caused by this thread forced me to ratchet up deads sooner than later. This is the most motivational thread in O35. I need to stop looking at the girl pics tho. If I'm browsing while I'm working out I get srsly distracted. Like those last Kimm shots...

One day I'll impress Jim!

Wow that could have been one of my posts word for word. I too am pushing my lifts because of the beasts in this section. I also perve the ladies pics

[thepower]

Finally figured out how to post a image, duh.. Anyways here is one of our recent leg workouts.

[thepower]

Here is Monday's workout

[danap3681]

Here are a few pics from this week. No where near what kimm & steph look like but I am still on a slow cut. Weight is really dropping off these past few weeks & a few more lbs to go before I get where I want to be. First bulk went haywire so struggled to get the weight off until I cut carbs which is the only thing that has really worked. Learned my lesson for the next bulk.

Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving

[Skullster]

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! This thread kicks so much a$$!

I haven't posted a pic in here in a while so here is my 11 month cut side-by-side comparison photo. Taken yesterday at 199.8 lbs. It's been over 15 years since I got my weight below 200 lbs. Actually, I hit 199 even on the scale this morning. Been lifting heavy this whole time and I think I have hung on to nearly all the underlying muscle. Although my strength gains are now pretty much at a standstill.

Looking good Dana. Can't tell your bulk went haywire which must mean you fixed it.

Finally figured out how to post a image,]

nice pics. I like the collages

That is so impressive. When you saw the 199 did you do the weigh in flex for the crowd. I know I did the first time I saw it.

You're looking lean and shapely. I don't know where you came from on your cut but you're looking great now!
