Becoming a HW Strongman

[bmontgomery87]

And all this time I thought I was a photoshop wizard....

All my overhead vids from now on will be a side view....135, 225, 315, 405....you'll never know what I'm lifting

in to watch Thad finally get "225" over his head

Damn....you are on to me.

Well....he would have to get 135 first....

inb4 "Those aren't 25's....they are short 45's.

Die as in hurt, extended fatigue, or just pumpe/soreness?

hurt. when i lock it out, something hurts in my shoulder. I tweaked it worse than normal on sunday, but i've been icing and lax balling it non stop, and it's loosened up. I guess that just means I need to do more shoulder mobility work.

Is that almost in line with your bench PR????

I just get fatter. More joint lubrication. Solves shoulder problems. Not so much for knees and lower back....but shoulders are solid.

Things are getting heated!

Heavy incline (semi narrow grip) - transfers over to bench and overhead: problem solved!

Don't give him more reason to lay down. Since he started training with Wade, he has been opening his legs more (squats) and laying down more (no overhead)....thus, Wade is making Thad his b*tch.

wilks bish.

plus you're getting at that age where you're gonna break a hip soon, then I'll wreck you on squats/deads

So long as I don't hit a nasty patch of ice and fall, you'll be my who*e for a while yet whippersnapper

Strong sh!t Paul.

[Black_Spit]

Nice pressing. 225x9/275x2 is no joke.

[thom2355]

Thanks.

It was heavy. Gotta get this wrist healed up and attack more weight. Perhaps vigorous rehabilitation of my right wrist is called for.

Sprint to the end of your driveway and back then immediately tie your shoes without asphyxiating yourself

What is this "sprint" and "tie your shoes" that you speak of. I waddle into work this morning with my boots untied with no intentions of lacing them up all day.

My plan for the challenge was that I was going to pause front squat your scheduled pause back squat for the same setup. Looked like it was gonna work out to a rather good number....but not yet.

You tryin to shatter my precious ego brah?????

[thom2355]

You tryin to shatter my precious ego brah?????

Nope. Not at all. Just that our maxes on two lifts are right around the same....so I was gonna shoot for the same thing you were scheduled to hit. Stealing some of Wade's numbers if you will

Slip-on, no laces Timberlands ftmfw!

[thom2355]

Slip-on, no laces Timberlands ftmfw!

I cannot. I have to have at least 6" boots, puncture resistant, slip proof....yadda yadda yadda.

Your loss.

I just bought these last weekend actually. I saw elastic and no laces and I knew I had to have them.

[thom2355]

Yeah....I combat it with an 8" boot that I do not tie. Laces....but don't have to tie them.

[NC_Tarheel]

I am

Pretty sure you do that every time you lift

[Black_Spit]

My tennis shoes are permanently untied- slip on lol. I'm sure I'm not the only one who does this.

I tie mine like normal, but it is loose so that they slip on.

[bigwade800]

shoes like that would creep me out

What numbers of mine are you after? I figured you had passed all mine.

Pretty much all of them....I have passed none.

[bigwade800]

you already over head press more than me and can probably out pull me

My best push press was 335 and best raw pull was 672

All the storngman stuff you'd crush me at

I've hit 720 in knee wraps and at my best 700 belt only

Best raw bench was 465 paused

from there, like I said, with the implements, you'd kill me

I see now why Jeremy has been called a sandbagger.....learned from the best

I'm sure if you put your hands on some implements for 12-16 weeks you'd do just fine

[bigwade800]

My best is way behind me. I'm hoping that after all the weight loss, I can squat with wraps what I used to do without wraps.

We will see how it goes. It's fun watching you guys with it all ahead of you.
