I had no idea there was this much bad blood between these two...

**arn710** · 03-23-2015, 01:02 PM

Those two both seem like the lowest of white trash

When I lived up nort' I trained at the gym he used to lift at so some of the older dudes there had some pretty funny stories about him. Apparently he was a little nuts.

A lot of guys use a buffalo bar these days. It does the same thing to a lesser degree. I think Bill uses one at BBBC, maybe he can give you his thoughts. It's on my list of toys I'd like to have.

I am always stronger when cleaning it. My body is in better alignment and the rack position is proper. When pressing from a rack, I can get out of the position that seems to come natural from cleaning.

Wow, apparently IPF raw worlds is expected to have 800+ lifters this year and take 9 days to put on. Got dam.

Eric K: that's some funny stuff on the USAPL FB lol.

Edit: and now it's deleted. Hopefully someone takes that seriously.

its interesting to use, definitely good for pec development, needs to use lighter weights to avoid tearing stuff...but lots of paused reps = speed off chest. I'm doing some wide grip work with my feet up to eliminate leg drive...also interesting. I can use heavier weight than with the buffalo bar, and I seem to get the same fatigue/pump/soreness patterns, might be some overlap there.

just came back from Serbia, totalled 1630@220 and won best junior lifter

tfw still haven't pulled 700 in comp

Congrats! It's too bad you didn't hit your DL goal but that's still a great total, plus a best lifter prize to boot.

**YourGunShowTix** · 03-23-2015, 02:03 PM

when you clean, you involve your lats and you can get tighter, keep it tighter. racking it out of j-pins onto your shoulders doesn't require lat involvement.
More lat involvement = more weight pressed.

I always hang clean to rack position when overhead pressing because of this fact.

**brotein1992** · 03-23-2015, 02:09 PM

Break the deadlift record and then dump girlfriend. That's how you do it folks! White trash aside I'd still like to see a deadlift session video with these 2

**ziyedb** · 03-23-2015, 02:18 PM

Why didn't Leeman bring up the Big Dane thing? That would instantly prove his point.
Nevertheless pathetic to post stuff like this on ********. It's always the same people who do not seem to have any class or selfworth.

Seriously... this.

What the actual f**k? I feel bad for Jay Nera writing a status congratulating him and then ending up with those kind of comments. Ridiculous and pathetic.

Why feel bad for him? It's quite entertaining stuff

Well, maybe. If I posted such a status and got a pathetic white trash family feud I'd be rather confused.

Congrats on the total.

I didn't know Frank Yang still made videos. Anyone else remember the *** series?

**whitessp** · 03-23-2015, 03:54 PM

Tried to do paused front squats today. Couldnt keep my damn fingers on the bar more than 4 reps. Like each rep they progressively got less and less on the bar until halfway up rep 5 my right hand was no longer on the bar and it slipped and crashed to the pins.

Front squats are stupid and I hate them.

I love how we always try and make assistance lifts harder because we think that makes them better for some reason. Recently I've being doing Spoto Presses to help with my power off the chest, paused, with my feet up... When is enough enough? I never even really tried regular Spoto presses, just jumped straight into this adaptation.

Lifters are silly.

I only did them paused because I wanted to use less weight because it was my assistance movement, and for as much help with my quads and trunk stability out of the hole as possible.

But front squats are so dumb.

Same rule for IPF/USAPL applies

**whitessp** · 03-23-2015, 04:27 PM

Do liniments and stuff like that actually work for like getting rid of inflammation or anything on your knees and such?

Looked into why it was deleted - it's being taken very seriously.
