I try to train without them as much as possible, but during some training cycles, my hands get so beat up that I have to use them for some sets. If your grip's an issue, I would definitely avoid them...

WR for 123-pound guys is in the 630s by a guy that was, by all accounts, drug-free, so if you are built insanely well to deadlift, sky's the limit.

I do have a channel; if you search my name on...

Did 512-347-622 at my last 148 meet in Feb. 2015 (1482) and broke the ATWR at 148 at that class, until it was re-broken a couple months ago. Did my first meet at 165 in August and went 584-380-639...

Honestly I just am so busy right now that I don't have time for it. Plus, most of this forum is just people trying to convince one another that they're not mad. It always seemed like a waste of time...

The real question is, what don't I wear?

Did he tear his left bicep right at the end of that pull?

Also, interestingly enough, a 750-lb. squat at 242 is good enough for #1, one pound more than Dan Green did at the FitExpo. So, that's a pretty legit achievement right there.

He probably turned his hat backwards before he did it, too.

God-status leverages.

'Cept for deadlift.

Spotted a bit of buttwink on those deadlifts. Better get that fixed.

That's a shame. I really liked his channel. I hope he's able to restart it and re-upload a lot of that content.

Yes--something like that would probably work best. You should also be able to handle more than just bodyweight assistance--and you'll want to push through some hypertrophy work in order to keep...

You're right; you don't.

I just really enjoy the training. Meets are fun, and additionally, it's fun to do something you're good at. Competing gives you another way to measure progress, but...

The "do it in a meet!" rhetoric that surrounds gym lifts has always struck me as funny, since I always feel much better lifting at a powerlifting meet. You mean I need to prove myself by getting to...

The protocol would be something like higher frequency specificity training with decreased volume and increased average intensity. Supplemental would would be limited a bit and GPP would be a (very)...

I usually do three meets a year, but this year I'm just doing one and training the rest of the time--I figure it'll be easier to sustain progress with a longer training period. I'm getting to a point...

You can make it through any training atmosphere if you are mentally strong enough. I have trained in big, crowded commercial gyms for my entire training life, and I have better numbers than plenty of...

Something like 2215; around a 937 squat, 573 bench, and 705 deadlift (but I'm doing this from memory, so don't kill me if I'm off).

Really, it's up to the lifters to decide what the big meets are. No promoter or gym owner can say otherwise; it's the lifters that make a meet big. People care about the lifters, not the hyperbole of...

So much U.S. powerlifting hate in this thread.
