The Official PL Family Appreciation Thread: Part XII

[coachdeez]

I'm not understanding the truck pull...you're walking backwards? so is it more like a heavy sled pull?

axle....I might actually drop to novice...

I must have missed this post....yeah, it's essentially a sled pull. Take a rope, hook each end to a truck so you have a loop, stand inside the loop while facing the truck, lean backwards into the rope so it is around your back, grab onto the rope, dig in with your heels and walk backwards.

Hows the training for your comp going...

Not as well as it should be. Been missing too many training days then trying to get all caught up at once. I've got 2-3 more training sessions in me then I need to focus on recovery.

Deez, send some equipment my way bro. As mentioned earlier, I'm a broke figga, so you'll have to do it out of the goodness of your heart.

Tempting offer. Out of curiosity I checked shipping rates to your town and it's not as bad as I thought it would be. I can definitely hook it up for cheap (PL fam discount).

Good luck. Big Sexy is looking for some cheap handles.

Yeah, I already discussed it with him via PM. I'm making his handles for $90 shipped. I got the metal cut today, I'll be welding and painting it tomorrow. Will post pics once they are done.

getting stuff ready for first carbnite tomorrow. hnnnggg so ready. got a couple bananas, some dextrose (even though it isn't specifically covered in the CNS book), and white rice ready. will then be going to a casino for some gambling and of course the buffet for as much food as i can possibly stand (don't care if my family judges me haha). then a few sensible drinks and more dessert probably.

going to be pulling tomorrow... might try for another PR (over 575) we are going to the casino at 6, so i'm gonna have to train around 1 in order to be able to eat all that food in time


actual birthday was today, went and got my temporary paper ID (regular one is coming in the mail), and felt like i couldn't let the day pass without buying alcohol so bought a mini bottle of pinnacle cake (since i won't be having a real birthday cake.. figured would have enough at the buffet lol)


anyway, now i'm just blabbing. cya fam. hope everyone had a good day... week is coming close to ending! keep ur head up and train heavy and hard.

I'll be there tomorrow mobilizing and doing light deads with the axel...train tomorrow and put off fabbing until your recovery weeks...its not like you're doing a gym meet like I am...

[dannyautrey]

Deez, you have a photo album of your equipment (no homo)?

[Big Sexy J]

Good luck. Big Sexy is looking for some cheap handles.

Coachdeez is awesome. He is going to make them/take pics for me soon and I am sure they will be worth the price he is offering

[simp3204]

Been with the lady most of the weekend, not a whole lot of free time to sit around circle jerking it in here. I'm back to work today so I'll be upping my post count in here throughout the week.

Congrats on the new lady. Or did you get back with the old one?

Just saw this posted from Jamie Lewis' fb page. Wholy chit this looks amazing. Anyone doing?

Furk, I would love to watch that.

Robert Oberst is looking to have a new log fabricated. I just submitted a quote...crossing my fingers that I get the job. I told him that I'd deliver it for nothing more than the cost of materials and fuel as long as he gives me honest feedback and helps put my name out there.

Nice. I hope you're prepared to tell me all about it on Saturday since I talk way too much.

I don't know why you would waste your carbs on dextrose if you're doing carb nite... seriously why not just have real food? I would have fruits, pasta, oats, rice, and ice cream.

Either way, happy birthday man. Based on your join date that means you joined here when you were 15? That's awesome, I wish I had found this site when I was 15...

[adamsz]

BTW anyone else see on ******** about Brantley Thornton hitting 1800 @180 raw???

[goosefrabbas]

[allergic2rice]

that truck pull sounds brutal lol...
are we allowed to use the loop in any way we choose? like just pulling it from outside the loop

[NC_Tarheel]

It won't be brutal. It's just a regular truck right??

The only thing that would be brutal is getting it going too fast, tripping, and then getting run over by it.

just thought it'd be an easy way to get the high insulin spike... maybe i'll just run it how it's said to be run i suppose. i really wish kiefer would update carbnite like he has said he wants to.

thanks m an, yeah i've been here for a long time but dont' have a lot to show for it. never been as committed as I am now though, so it's all looking up from here.

This was in the description on one of his videos:

training for spf ohio state meet, may 25th 2013 bw 190-195lbs raw with wraps and belt, just a video of ego lifts not meet lifts and planned openers for meet. competing at 181lbs shooting for powerlifting watches world record in wraps of 1760lbs. music is till i colapse-eminem

true I suppose. I just remember doing the truck pull in Reno (with full harness) and it was a **** to get it going, it's gotta be harder to do the same thing walking backwards with no rope and nothing to really "push" against..

[allergic2rice]

uh-oh...westside getting a real bashing this past year lol...

[dlt76028]

insulin spike is overrated. FWIW, protein alone has been shown to spike insulin.

It's getting rather annoying JTS's (CWS's) hate towards EFS and Westside. Some good information and lifters at JTS but the constant spamming and hate is making me want to ignore and unsubscribe from it all.

[dlt76028]

Link to article? Chad smith has never come off as a cocky negative person to me.

[C0bra]

Hey Fam, what podcasts that relate to lifting do you guys regularly listen to? I've been checking out Elite's Iron subculture podcast and Kiefer's BioJacked. any other recommendations?

[Jason2459]

Many of CWS's articles have some slant against EFS and Westside. But you have to be familiar with the articles and training of many lifters at EFS and Westside. EFS actually used to sponsor CWS and gave him his start.

I rarely read Chad's articles as I can't stand him for some reason or another. I only read the other JTS athlete's articles.

I think Dan makes some points, but nothing that really needed to be said IMO.

inb4 butthurt over that article

Oops, too late.
