A Giraffe Amongst Gorillas - Version 2.0

[bigwade800]

Let me tell you how far back I go. I lifted at the WDFPF worlds in the 90's when Matt was lifting USAPL as teen...

Yup, I'm that F'n old...

He was a good lifter then.

Yeah, that makes more sense .

I think they have applications for bench warm ups as well. Haven't really gotten around to testing the theory though

I like to use them on overhead work, then take them off and hit something heavy....haven't done that in a while though. Reverse bands are easier on joints, chains sound cooler....but the accumulation of a band is like nothing else.

lol....he is a cool guy. Strong as hell. Suppose to be coming out with an ebook, but I am not sure it will do so well as it is rumored to be more of something that is well thought out and is how to apply things rather than a cookie cutter format that gains a cult following. Either way, prolly pick it up if for nothing else to support a guy who puts info out there for others.

Been checking your vids on Youtube, strong work Thad.

Effectively the same thing I was doing for bench . My bench has never been that that great so I was delving into some new methids right before I started working with Wade .

Seemed like it was on the right track

Thanks Ant.

12 week cycle starts today!!

Good morning NC.

I used your line on a lady who had the audacity to wear a Duke shirt to the Rec Center yesterday. I think I bit off more than I could chew and needed a 6'6" powerlifter to back me up.

Kentucky is playing WELL!!! Best all year IMO.

Pepper your angus for mediocre lifting *******!!!!!!!!!!11111111oneoneone

Suprisingly I found myself pulling for NC to pull that one out. I must be getting soft in my old age.

Duke, Kansas, NC, Indiana, and we have a chance to put Louisville out. That's probably the Big 5 as far as our national rivalries are concerned.

Really shot your wad on that first rep huh?

[bmontgomery87]

Matt Wenning was talking about how he would set up very heavy bands in front of him and attach to the bar to force him to stay back. Said his legs were strong enough to make any squat in range, but his back wasn't. The band setup helped that.

....interesting to see how Thad's application will play out.

I think Louie just put out a new article about that too, I remember reading it in the last week or two. Just not sure if it was new or they were sharing an old one.

Wenning is awesome, I used to watch SYTYCS fairly often when I first starting lifting. Might check out that e-book.
I really want Clint Darden to put his book out.

Raw broccoli is great for you. It's not so great for my training partners.

2 weeks off from strongman right into a PL meet and out total everyone. I think Tugboat's going to try an go like 1350. He can't stand the fact that I out total him now (and the fact that I remind him about it a lot...kinda like you and Ced LOL)

[psychodiver9]

I don't know about my total after the comp. To be in the 1400's would be a miracle.
What you going for Thad 1600 or 1700.

Splitting the difference @ 1650

This is just a tune up meet.
