Calling all OL'ers......:)

[strengthsthetic]

Looks like 320

is he squatting it or just walking out with it for some reason? wtf

[dbk1]

if thats khaki than honestly not even that surprised that he's squatting that much

[schabowy90]

Have you guys competed at university Nationals? The totals are a joke.

Technically I'm qualified completely to compete

[jb4476]

Looks like Khaki, and that is 340, not 320.

[ftwrestler]

I don't use a belt for anything, or knee wraps, and I don't need straps yet, although I do like my knee sleeves and my leather wrist wraps. But how exactly do you lift without chalk?

i just dont put chalk on my hands when i lift really. Rarely if i do. My hands have to be pretty beat up for me to use it.

I've checked out the totals before, the difference between B group and A group is like 30 kilos lmao

[Reidy]

I think Kakhi might be my favorite lifter of all time.

Love this video:

Got bored and started watching some Sydney vids. It was a really great Olympics.

Very frustrating that perhaps the only man who could have made a 600 lb C+J on the platform missed the lift because he was not flexible enough to rack the bar properly.

Yea I thought it was 340 too, but those are black 10/15's on the outside covered in chalk. So 320 or 330.

Weight isn't even what shocked me about the pic. Either thats a 31mm fat bar or he has absolute midget hands that can't wrap around the bar.

I'm doin it. It's in Tennessee this year.

My only competition total puts me in the B group. I would do 77 not 85.
Now the question is should I just do B group, or make the 229 total at some local meet before universities to do A? I'd need like 105/125 which pretty doable for me on second attempts. I can qualify till early march. Only tough part is hockey is still on till late february

I would pretty much be doing all my lifts AFTER the entire B group finished if I was in B judging by the 2012 lifts. Ehhhh, decisions.....

You're right, they're clearly smaller diameter than the 20s. But wtf his hands?

Have been incorporating some complexes at the end of my workouts lately. Feels good man, even though I am exhausted when I am doing them, everything feels smooth and light for the most part.

This week I did 100kg Snatch pull + hang snatch pull + hang snatch + overhead squat
and 115kg Clean pull + hang clean + front squat + jerk

[Reidy]

PR'd my snatch and squat today, tied my clean and jerk PR.

Snatched 79 kg, missed 84 kg 4 times (overhead all 4 attempts but couldn't lock it out).
Tied CJ PR at 107 kg, felt easy so attempted 113 kg 4 times and missed the jerk each time.
Back squatted 168 kg at the end of the workout.

Time to eat.

I'm going to compete here too.

I would say go for the A group. Nicer competition, maybe it will push some PR's out of you.

[Greco-Roman]

Had a few duck walks today

May I ask why it seems like you always have 4-5 people watching you lift?

Where do you play hockey? I played until college here in MA and played alongside a lot of really good players.

[Greco-Roman]

Haha, awesome.

thanks man. Well, 2 of them are my coaches. The other 2-3 are the other guys I lift with.

haha, thanks!

I might compete there, I kinda do not want to though. Good luck though! What state do you live in, if I may ask?

[Reidy]

Re: the Kakhi picture I posted, Kakhi himself said on ******** that the image was taken at the Olympic games in 1996 and the weight was 322.5 kg. He competed in the 99 kg class there, so he was probably 100 kg or so in the picture. 3.2x bodyweight squat a few days out from the biggest weightlifting event on the planet? Mindblown.

Also Kakhi said his best training lifts were 195/240, which if you'll remember Ilya Illin recently did 196/240 at ~ the same bodyweight. Really puts into perspective how great a lifter Ilya is.

I live in Pennsylvania (philadelphia to be exact). go to school in los angeles though. you and feces are around the new jersey/nyc area correct?

[Reidy]

Also not sure if anyone's familiar with Rob Macklem's Flickr but it's chock full of awesome lifting photos he's taken over the years.

MFW Taner Sagir looks like me but is approx. a billion times stronger than I am.

Meanwhile...

[Reidy]

I'm assuming this is an elbow dislocation?

That is correct. I live out in Suffolk on Long Island, I think Feces is closer to the City.
