Almost 100%, a bit of pain at the bottom of the military but it's barely noticable and doesn't affect it.

Go for it man, Im not like before I cant hammer out 10 prs, going for 3 of them in oly is very good so I dont mind, getting 3 prs a week is good, like a snatch, clean, and squat pr is ace.

Great job on the Body weight squats Baker. Really impressive.

Keep it up

Thanks man they were intense. Im hoping to get 40 sometime in the near future, maybe before the new year.. Its really intense I almost puked today in every most exact meaning of almost.

[Lavoisier]

Mike

Thanks

[BaFtub]

Lol I love the feeling of having to puke after a heavy load of squatting.

Last week I was hurled after doing 225x10, 225x8, then another 225x8. Rest was like 1 min 30 sec between each set >_> Cutting+heavy taxing lifting=ouchies. 'Specially when youre using a narrow stance lol.

[Lavoisier]

Thats gay, why dont they support it?

Well...

I don't really know

Whenever I talk about it they just roll their eyes and say:

You're fine, you don't need to get bigger

They always group together bodybuilding and weightlifting

Which really pisses me off, because people have such a negative connotation with bodybuilding, and seeing that carried over to weightlifting isn't fair.

I know about the bodybuilding----weightlifting. When anyone says bodybuilding when they talk about how I roll I always correct them especially when they ask if I wear a `pickle dish``

Thanks from dropping by phreek.. I'm really exciting to be a part of the whole olympic lifting scene I'm just mad I didn't start earlier. Thanks a lot, hopefully I'll go 6/6 thats all I really want. Hahah, I don't think I could get past like 50 with any sort of weight
