Believe in yourself and believe in the power of OUTWORK + TIME

^5 I'm with you on this Layne.

yea i've had a few people send me a link to their 'discussions'. Not sure who runs the thing or what they've got against me, but it is what it is. I used to stew over trying to make everyone happy, but the best advice I got from my mother was "there are 2 truths to trying to make everyone happy: 1) you never will do it and 2) it will only make certain that you are unhappy." So I try to remember that and not worry about stuff like that. I did see they put up an outright lie about something my friend Marc Lobliner supposedly said about me, trying to create a rift between me and Marc. Now that kind of **** does piss me off, and unfortunately the internet can make it free reign to lie about whomever you want. I can handle people ragging on me... that happens. Lies are another matter

Thought you guys might like to know, today 10 years ago, I stepped onstage for the FIRST time ever, winning the teen class and novice tall class at the 2001 INBF Mid America Muscle Classic. The journey is everything, it's been unreal. Thanks to those who have been along for the ride!

got to meet my idol Dave Goodin for the very first time

you young guys... enjoy the journey.

**drew419** · 08-11-2011, 09:02 AM

very cool, thanks for sharing Layne.

**fltallpaul** · 08-11-2011, 09:49 AM

If he is your idol why have you not grown a mullet? I think its time!

**str8flexed** · 08-11-2011, 10:49 AM

LOL Paul!

**RichKnapp** · 08-11-2011, 11:27 AM

Thank you much.
Isn't great to look at our starting out pics then were we are at now? Put the mind in a new perspective on how we are doing. You made some serous improvements. ^5

**toddbz** · 08-11-2011, 11:30 AM

You weren't kidding when you said your legs went through a major transformation at one point :O!!! I think somewhere on the dvd you mention it was when you upped the training frequency. Awesome!!

are you going to be at the oct 8 meet?

Tested out deads tonight. Matched my old PR of 635 X 3. Not bad considering I haven't pulled in around 3 months or so.

**devinh** · 08-12-2011, 08:51 PM

Nice pulling Layne.
Maybe it's just me, but that grip looks super close. When I get my grip too narrow my shoulders kill me. Obviously it works for you, not trying to tell you to change it or anything. Just my first time noticing that part of your lift.

**zmcdole** · 08-12-2011, 09:58 PM

Sweet pulls. There certainly seems to be carryover from smolov to a guys deadlift. I wonder if you get the same carryover if you pull sumo vs. conventional.

**str8flexed** · 08-12-2011, 10:37 PM

probably depends on how wide your squat stance is

The crazy thing is you used straps before and you did it raw this time.. damn!

**str8flexed** · 08-12-2011, 11:00 PM

eh, not that crazy. My grip has never been a problem. Even when I pulled it with straps, I could have done with without... just more convenient with LOL

**jessedha** · 08-12-2011, 11:12 PM

Geez, that was a great pull. Also, I don't normally check my rep power, but tonight I checked it and it was 2106. I'm wondering, "how?" Then, my next guess is Layne. I look and lo and behold, yep. Thanks man. I don't concern myself with reaching high reps but for every time I check I see I've been given some, I appreciate it.
