I was searching on ******** and came across Boris Shieko's website. Does anyone know of any American or anyone personal who has purchased his coaching? I thought that was interesting.

[dlt76028]

Will someone explain NOTLD to me? Their site sucks and is never updated. What's the date? Is it raw or with suits? Is it best overall lift or some formula? Is there prizes?

I think Dogmai may have purchased it but I'm not sure. He was doing a modified version of MSIC last Iheard

[Jeramey8]

What is MSIC?

[Jason2459]

Shoes. Amirite!



If only they didn't hurt my knees. Best shoes out there hands down and now they have three color options. Get on that east bay newsletter time for discount codes...

What is MSIC?

Russian lifter standards. They change every few years. From another thread I posted in. Let's see if the attachments come through with the quote.

http://translate.google.com/translat...Frazr_norm.htm

Yep, for stepping stones I like to go by the lifter rankings. Assuming trianing from a novice level I see

Class 4 and under as novice
Class 3 and 2 as beginner
Class 1 into Master Intermediate
Master to Elite and above Advanced.

USPA has been doing a good job at redefining their classifications as the years go by and more numbers have been acquired and calculated. The Rusians do this as well with what they call, at least how google translates it, their Russian Discharge Standards. Current good from 2014-2017. Russian standards do allow IPF approved single ply gear in achieving their numbers. USPA has broken everything down from multiply, singleply, belt+wraps, and belt no wraps. They also broke down each lift.

For example the USPA in the 198lbs weight class belt no wraps
Class 4 858
Class 3 987
Class 2 1131
Class 1 1280
Master 1436
Elite 1558
International Elite 1698 (This is something unique to USPA as well)

Here's a couple spreadsheets I try and keep updated.

Pretty sure one of my training partners worked with Sheiko years ago.

I'm so excited my bench is becoming less poverty

[tinytim1]

I don't think he did, but he may have. Another aussie, stephen pritchard, has been workin with sheiko for a while though

[arian11]

are you the dude at the end of Candito's most recent vid?

Yea. I handled him at worlds. Then he goes and makes a video where he compliments me a little and then trolls me with an old fail video. That muthatrucka.

[goosefrabbas]

Fam, halp.

Almost all of my gym's bars are bent and none have decent knurling. In the past I've had injuries from a bent bar rolling down my shoulders while squatting and a bent bar slipping in my hands while pulling, so I'm pretty cautious. Never had this problem when I lifted at a PL gym with good bars.
I had my gym's owner, AND a different gym's owner, tell me it's not worth them buying one or two decent bars (TPB, Quest bar, or even a Rogue bar) especially if nobody else, including myself, is lifting a ton of weight.
So, am I justified in buying my own bar, or am I just being a little bitch and need to lift with what everyone else is using until I'm pulling some crazy amount?

1.Make sure you setup with curve up.
2. Show them Jesup gym's site for a cheap very solid bar that can take a beating.
3. Ask if you can bring in your own bar (I would take back home with you. Just ask zmcdole)
4. Find a better gym
5. Get a home gym

Crossfit

I do 1 and can't do 4 or 5. Stuck in an apartment till I finish school. They said I can bring my own and keep it there, so I planned on using a Proloc Blocker collar. I forgot to look at Jesup though. About to look through all the bar threads here.

[dannyautrey]

A friend of mine bought a new tpb and keeps it at our gym. We have a cabinet we keep it in, so no one uses it but us.

#BLOG man training is going good. Progress lately has been nice.

I can help you justify it. Send me the reds, then you'll have to buy new ones.

Company Rep Application

Why are you interested in becoming a company rep?


I am a fitness junkie! I love lifting, supplements, and nutrition. I also love helping to inspire others to better themselves. Being a company rep would help fill out my day with more fitness related activity. I currently train twice a day (5am cardio/abs, 3pm heavy lifting) Mon-Saturday, work at a supplement store, and study for my personal training exam. I do a little modeling on the side and compete in natural bodybuilding and powerlifting

-Special achievements or awards in either fitness competitions, sporting events, or similar activities


*2nd place in the JR. Class at my Last APA meet - 220 Jr. RAW Class - 1075 total
1175 RAW Powerlifting 'Gym' Total (Pushing for 1400 @ my next meet)
I have also recently done a fitness photo shoot which I consider to be an accomplishment (pictures below)

*My first ever power lifting meet~! Definitely not the last

-Experience with the supplement industry (sponsored logs run, sponsored product reviews, supplements taken)

Currently I use Caffeine, Taurine,Yohimbe, Naicin, AAKG, Creatine, BCAAs (Especially Leucine), Glutamine, Beta-Alanine, and of course whey protein.

Log for Juggernaut by Infinite Labs:
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=131816593

-Have you been a company rep before?


Never a supplement company rep but I have done a demo for Top Secret Nutrition and am somewhat of a rep at the supplement store I work in (Max Muscle). I do samplings and talk about supplements all day.

I also have a background in promotional marketing and sales.



-Hours available daily to post content on the forums


If chosen for a position I would be most available during the day (7am-3pm) but also quite a bit in the evenings. I would be able to put in atleast 40 hours a week on the forums and other social media (********, instagram, twitter).

I take all of my business ventures very seriously and would be as active as needed. I have a small town mentality about work. I believe if you get something you gotta work for it. Somebody does me a favor and I try to pay it back ten fold. When I rep something out, I rep it out hardcore. Check out this advertisement I made (filmed, edited...everything) for Juggernaut by Infinite Labs...all because they sent me a few free supps. Don't judge my appearance too harshly, that was 2 years ago lol



-Anything else special about yourself that sets you apart


Unlike most people who apply for positions on here I am an active competitor and model (have done advertisement, runway (Dillards/Hugo's Boss), fitness, and stock photographs for a romance novel company). Simply put, I walk the walk. Even though my recent post history is scarce I was once a very active member on these boards.

-When would you be available to begin?
Immediately. No time like the present

For some reason the walk the walk line made me think "this guys a dick". I left a comment but guess it got deleted. Anyway I've had a couple of 20 beers and stumbling through intrawebz for APA (the fed I'm competing in) I found this dude, and sparked a search for his lovely youtubes.

[turkey_server]

I had the red ones. Now I really want the white... cant justify spending $200 just for a color change :-/

The new shoes are missing the first lace loop for some inexplicable reason and don't fit as nicely because of this. I sent mine back and went back to using my reds.
