The Official Powerlifting and Strongman Family Appreciation Thread: Part XX

[NorthStrong]

Most of the big dog squats I saw looked good, hard to tell but nothing egregiously high that I saw.

I second the notion that O'Doyle rules, it's insane how little recognition he gets for how great of a lifter he is.

Had Eric made a couple extra lifts he would've changed the whole podium.

Very excited for BD3 next year already. In my eyes that is the future of powerlifting. Markos really has some great stuff going on down there, between the ProRaw meets and Big Dogs.

How did Bells look?

Did the live stream of big dogs get saved to be watched later? I'm working my way through the USAPL Raw nationals. Friday nights primetime was awesome.

Supposedly (and surprisingly) I've heard that his were to depth.

I made a comment about getting different angles so people could see and he blocked me lol. Has Eric ever delivered at a meet outside of UPA? Seeing malan and ray miss lifts in the same weekend has got to be some kind of sign the world bout to Splode.

I think KK would blame it on being the wrong cycle of the moon or something.

He always gets mad when people say stuff lol

[baize82]

already some big names that have accepted invites for Big Dogs next year, two of which being my boys Josh Morris and Dom Minnici, as well as the usual suspects

should be insane

Josh Morris accepted? I'd like to see what he could do in some knee wraps. I saw him at the Arnold this year, the guy is as wide as he his tall.

[NorthStrong]

How did Bells look?

Really good, best I've ever seen. He really impressed me with his lifting, his deadlift is ****ing retard mode, no idea how he pulls how he does, but he damn near pulled 900.

I'd say Eric delivered this weekend. He was close to winning the whole thing. IMO best meet he's done considering location, total, and insane depth of competition. And his squats looked rock solid to me also.

I'm hype for J-mo, really hope he goes.

Always a big invite list, but a small showing. But this year ended up with 8 great guys so it wasn't just 2-3.

Also really hoping for a few of the WSM guys to go. Hafthor looks ready to total like 2300-2400 now lmao. Him,Z and Eddie would be great.

Dom posted a list with acceptances on his IG

Malan
Gawain Johnstone
Steve Johnson (ForsakenWarrior)
DBell
Luke Poli
Dom
David Douglas
Rhyss Keane
Petr Petras
Eric
Matt Fryfogle
Zahir
Morris

obviously doesn't mean much until they actually show up, but a guy can dream...

edit to add: apparently Malan tore his tricep on his 2nd bench...then came back and hit it on his 3rd #wtf

[austin.j.taylor]

in.

[happylifter]

Have seen petr petras lift in a competition guy is huge. Regarding wsm in pl I know graham hicks is doing the uk savage apparel pro and Loz is doing gpc finals again and has said he will go full powerlifting when he feels he can't be competitive at wsm.

Luckily there's some money up for grabs so people seem to actually go to these. Even if you get 8-10 or so that's still great depth of lifting imo. Far more exciting than 2-3.

Yeah, and missed 2nd DL on grip, then fufcking held on to it on his third.

Malanichev is unbeatable man.

Loz is great man, one of my favourites. I'd love to see him go full on PL and do really well.

Strong triple post is strong

Anyone buy/read any of Jacob Rothenberg's books?

You mean musclebear? only a few dollars on kindle to find out


What's the latest on Jordan?

having watched him lift it's almost like Russian sand bagging his 3rd looked like a opener on all 3 lifts. Radz big z and dimitov could take a decent run at the bench record all are 4-500lb over head pressers

No kindle here bruh. Was considering buying paperbacks.

J wong I think is decent, seems to have some hamstring thing going on which has been slowing him down though iirc.

I think they'd all be a long ways off a 738 bench tbh.

That sucks. I just saw hamburger(Mike) benching with a knee brace on. Dem injurkies


Edit: no physical kindle needed to have a kindle reader. Any phone, tablet, PC will work

Wait what's wrong with his pull I just watched some of his videos nothing stood out to me

Hmm. Ill have to see if I can figure it out.

I've never seen such a weird setup, which makes him pulling those insane weights more impressive lol.

Looking for knee wrap suggestions. I want something as similar to iron rebel outlaws as possible. I have outlaws now, they are just getting old. I have a meet coming up and they are sold out of outlaws until November otherwise I'd just buy more of them.

The stronghouse project BMF wraps are pretty close to my outlaw wraps. Little more cast like

oh yeah no doubt plus I think that would motivate Krill to push it further either way all strong pressers https://instagram.com/p/BZjxejIn0Mx/

What is your guys opinion on stretching before lifting? I actually forgot to ask this and it just came to me. When I went to see dan green at one of his seminars, he had said that he always stretches before he lifts. He stated that it's not as dangerous as everyone thinks because you're not stretching and then immediately getting under the bar. Thoughts?

I always stretch before I lift. I went to a Gaglione seminar and he said brought up a study showing it has no impact on strength if done properly. Basically it came down to, as long as you don't go from stretching to immediately getting under the bar, you're fine. Strength will be lower if you try to lift within a few seconds of stretching, but other than that you should be good to go. Sounds exactly like what Dan Green is saying.
