The official PL family appreciation thread, part V

[DanielBeauchamp]

are you training with them yet?

I get the feeling they like to train by themselves; they're not in groups or anything. I have one guy there who will give me advice if I ask for it, but that's about it.

You know, the Eleiko PL bar is more expensive than the WL bar here!!

I'm just gonna go with someting that is good for 700lbs or so.

Very difficult getting hold of a RH machine, same wirth the GHR machine.
Louie Simmons has a friend in Finland that was going to help me, but delivery could be dodgey

Is that cheap?

This is the guy I am now dealing with in Sweden (he is also Finnish lol, not that thats a bad thing).

Metal equipment is really expensive and he says the delivery time can be up to 3 months!!!!

He is actuallt going over to Finland to check some stuff out. So we will talk later about that.

The prices for the Metal RH and GHR are alot more than if I order direct from Metal in Finland

Not sure about the RH you linked. Have you used one like that?

These are what I want from Finland.

Have you ever thought about getting the reverse hyper fabricated?
I have seen a couple homemade ones now...and they work just the same.

I'm at that point right now where it's just a head cold, but I just know that it's gonna get waaaay worse. I can just feel it.

Anyone got any good ideas for a preemptive strike at this sickness?

Very little you can do about it. I'm regualry taking glutamin to help boost my immune system and ward off the common cold etc.

[skinnycalves]

Since we are on the subject. Can anyone give me general immune system tips.

Give glutamin a try if you are susceptible to catching the common cold/virus.

Many studies support glutamin and it's benefits, but as with alot of things, it hasn't been 100% proved that it does help boost the immume system.

As I have mentioned before, my gym is under new ownership. The new owners actually give a **** and are purchasing equipment left and right and right and left. Not only that, but they are actually asking US, the members, what we would like to see. They say they're buying a few bars and have asked our opinion.
Well, they went to my friend that is a bench press specialist, and asked him about a couple of bars. One of the bars had a 700lb capacity and one had a 1500lb capacity. My buddy told them that they had better get something that'll hold more than 700lbs because of me.

I felt awesome for a moment

You are awesome.

Dayum

[TrettinR]

I thought it was well assumed that he was using fake plates for that?

[LegosInMyEgos]

Probably but they don't look fake.

[TrettinR]

Probably but they don't look fake.

I doubt he went from a 600x4 to a 500x2 close grip in a years time.

And that's the point of fake plates. To look real.

[theduffman]

Pretty sure Sean Katterle offered him somewhere between 2 and 5 thousand dollars to bench that in competition and he wussed out..

[IAmBatman]

Since we are on the subject. Can anyone give me general immune system tips.

I take Cod Liver Oil, Green Tea, Echinacea, and of course Vitamin C.

Between work, school, and the gym I can't afford to get sick. That combination seems to work well.

Maybe they're related...

Talking the talk...but too afraid to even try to walk.

I think he actually hit his chest on the last rep, even.

Dear PL section:
Sheep on drugs are on drugs.

[.Enigma.]

lol at every thread in the teen misc that involves powerlifters or babyslayer

Their logic is impeccable

Not by anyone official.

If you took in a picture and some basic dimensions to any steel fabricator they will be able to knock up something very close.

Dont know about the reverse hyper with adjustable top, that might cost too much to get made

[Erick.Galinkin]
