Competed Saturday - 1850 total at 220, let me rep you

[Drew23]

Damn, those are some solid improvements. Nice going on the recovery. It'll be crazy when you connect the bench in a full meet. Practically knocking on 2k's door.

I feel like I have 2K in me by next year. The big bench PR I hit in June took a lot out of me and I never fully recovered in time to put together a good bench training plan for this meet. I'm definitely capable of 800+, 600+ and then just have to keep building the pull toward 600.

[Drew23]

I just got the chance to watch the vids, I know you were probably just playing it safe with the deadlift to make sure you hit that 1850 total, but there was for sure more in the tank by the looks of it. Like another 15-20# at least.

I had a plan and I stuck to it. 540 was a lift I thought I could comfortably get, my gym PR was 545 going in and I had only hit it a couple of times. During squat warmups I had dislocated my left ring finger and it came back to bite me on my third DL. You can actually see it start to let go on the 540 and when I took 565 for my third, it completely let go and I dropped the bar trying to lock it out.

Ge get 'em Drew!!



hehe, you already did. Amazing strength!!!

Thanks my friend!

Gotcha. Sucks about the 3rd but I'm sure you'll crush that next go round man!

Thanks brah, I started out this year hoping to get back to a 500 bench again and I just blew right past it. It's the one number I posted up on the gym record board that I believe will be there for a long time to come.

Is there a reason your deadlift lags behind the other lifts? Back injury or something, either way solid totals.

Yes, I answered that earlier. I injured my back several years ago and it's never quite been the same. Gear also contributes a lot more to the squat than the deadlift, my raw numbers are pretty close to the same for both. I'm finally making some deadlift progress though, hoping to get over that 600 hump and move into more respectable territory.

wtf man that's super impressive. good job, seriously. mirin' hard as fuk my man.

[TryYou]

You know you've made it big when weak people take screenshots of your squat vids to imply you squatted high. I just go up when my depth guy yells "UP". 3 whites, so suck it.

Astute observation. Are you some kind of detective?
Let me guess, equipped

[TryYou]

no detective, its just common sense.

That bench is also way too high and obviously an indication of equipped. Most people benching that weight are deadlifting 800-900lbs. Even i deadlift 600+ and i cant bench 405 yet. Your bench is almost your deadlift which is retarded lol

Im not a powerlifter but i don't see the point in lifting equipped? Do you ever compete raw?

Repped OP, pretty much hit the World Record:

84+kg Brown Bonica 1921 lb raw

Just kidding OP. Decent numbers and there are many other chalk boys who are much more annoying than you.

lol. Well I bench more than the strongest woman of all time (Becca Swanson), so I guess I'm pretty good.

Like I said before, great job on the PR.

I’m a little surprised they are letting you wear Metal gear. It was banned in at least USPA, USAPL, and SPF.

Which federation was the competition?

[DrewDarden]

I should mention for those I don’t know: it was banned because the owner made an offensive tweet srs.

Metal Militia. I know it's banned in most feds but MM really doesn't care and doesn't get into political stuff like that. I was planning to spray paint over the Metal logo since I don't care to be associated. Also I have owned this suit for so long it's not like I'm actively supporting or promoting the company.

I found it very interesting that the industry knew Ano to be a vocal white supremecist for years but one bad racist joke on Twitter got them to dump him. I honestly didn't know anything about it until that transpired, I just like the gear.

[DrewDarden]

Like you, I didn’t know anything about it either. I do think it’s silly for people to ban companies because they are offended by the owner.
