A Giraffe Amongst Gorillas - My Strongman Log

[Liftamulti]

You kids and your fancy new singlets. Back in my day we didn't have singlets. We used to cut holes in burlap sacks and our nipples would bleed for days.

.....and that's the way it was and we liked it!!!!

not gonna lie... that singlet is a tad ghey

I would rather wear my ol' posing trunks then that thing

I'm going to need pics from multi to see if it is indeed ghey (no ****)

But if I had his numbers at his age, I'd wear whatever the hell I damn well wanted to

Responding in all pictures like a boss.

Definitely agree with Agile 8 being great for hips. I've been slacking on it for a bit now, but when my piriformis starts giving me troubles (sometimes leading to sciatica flare-ups depending on severity), this is one thing that i can't live without.

and, oh yeah...good lifting

[bmontgomery87]

looking up agile 8 now.

[NC_Tarheel]

1/2 the time I have no idea what you guys are talking about in here, but this thread is STILL so full of win!!!

That's a good sign. I like to divert attention away from my training

usually just underwear

Still waiting on that PM.......

How are you liking the Agile 8 stuff? I feel like a million bucks after running through it once.

I've been LOVING it. I've also been adding in some bodyweight box squatting, hamstring stretching and some PVC rolling to my upper and lower back. My numbers may suck but darn if I don't feel like a million bucks

and the joys of homosexuality...

Thad,
vids of that intense bench session coming soon?

The only thing that makes my pressing intense would be if I ate 3 Chipotles and half a pack of exlax for my pre workout meal

just cause i appreciate a nice rack doesn't make me a homo

It doesn't make you homo in the least.....

I've seen it in the past but I guess when Hoss wanted to do it, it became cool, so I had to do it too...

looking up agile 8 now.

Check it out...I picked up a lacross ball from Dick's Sporting Goods for a whopping $2.99.

I also like to put it on my upper back and lean against the wall and crush my upper back or really dig into my lower back as well. I also use it on my bicep.

Lacrosse ball = cheapest and most effective myofascial release tool ever invented. I keep one at home and one at the office .

It hurts as bad as the PVC roller. I like it!

[bmontgomery87]

RE work deadlift boy

That's awful westside-esque of you

[NC_Tarheel]

I am blowing my entire program up. See my log for details.

[bmontgomery87]

LA is going to be mine.

For lazy ass. For those days when you do a set, bull**** for 5 minutes with your partner, do another set, change the music, do a set, and call it a day.

Good work as usual.

OK...I let it slide once but when you say "still" owns UNC, it leads me to believe you're trolling and not in touch with reality...



Let's look at the facts....



Dook just beat us at home which makes me want to rip out my eyeballs and eat them for post workout protein. They have bragging rights until we play (and hopefully beat) them in Cameron. The rivalry goes in cycles. Yes, I am a fan of the Heels but also a fan of the rivalry.


In the last 5 years, Dook/UNC have played 12 times, the Tarheels have won 6 and Dook has won 6


Over the first 6 games of that series, UNC won 5 Dook won 1.


Over the last 6 games Dook has won 5 UNC won 1.




Yeah...I like basketball

Seems like I feel better and better about bench with each session. I wanted to hit 345 X 5 but my tampon came loose and was irritating me so racked it. Oh well, I'll bump that to 355 X 3 on Saturday anyway.

Walking at lunch today along with some "Agile 8" after I coach basketball tonight. Deads on Thursday.

[coloBB]

hate it when the tampon comes out...

nice benching though

[Black_Spit]

You're doing what I should have done... more paused benching many weeks out from my meet. Oh well.

I need a snappy name for my band warmup/prehab routine... but, I only have 4 that I do. Fab 4 is kinda homo though. :/

Anyone else need a nickname or a cool title for their warmups?
