The Official Powerlifting and Strongman Family Appreciation Thread: Part XVIII

[thom2355]

Congrats Baize.

In sad news....gave away first place in a contest over the weekend. Ended up in third after a horrible last event. Makes me want to rage.

[YourGunShowTix]

Congratulaints, baize. Das it mang.

[budreiser2]

GJDM. Didn't even realize you were that strong.

cmon bruh my lifts are in my sig.

[kmc06005]

Congrats Baize!

My condolences thom.


For obvious reason I'm a fan of Adrian Larsen, but the content he has been putting out lately has been making me like him even more. Seems like a really cool guy, just trying to throw around some weights. He just seems to have a really cool perspective.

Also, LOL@ someone giving Arn a hard time about calling 'feet up' presses 'Larsen Presses' a few months back in the 5 hundred thread. Adrian calls them that in his book, AND has clothing with #LarsenPress on the front.

Ya, dont remember the exact reason tho. Specificity at its best, really pushing the human body's limit

[Anthony21]

Yes bench only. I believe he had some hip growth issues at birth or something along those lines.

[NorthStrong]

I think he said he was born with his hips dislocated. His episode of the powercast was my favourite out of the recent ones. I want Mark to actually get more powerlifters on there, I am just not interested in a lot of the guests the last while.

Did you like the one with Duffin?

I think his bench press manual said he had/has clubbed feet.

I find the ones with youtube personalities to be lower quality (at least for what I watch powercast for). Give me Stan Efferding over Omar Assmuffin or Mike Rashid any day.

I believe you are correct. I had a similar issue, but after 25 yrs, had surgery last week to correct it. Looking forward to doing full meets in the next 1-2 yrs.

Nice, sounds like everything went fine. I've seen the before and after pics now. What was the actual procedure?

Glad to hear you had successful surgery man.

Its called hip resurfacing. They had to reshape the femur head and put a chromium cobalt cap on it, and then drill out the acetabulum and put a chromium cobalt cup. In doing so, they lengthened my right leg by 1.6 cm, to make it even with my left. It will take about 6 months but I should end up with full ROM, something I have never had. Also, will get rid of the bone on bone pain.

[coachdeez]

Congrats Baize! I hear marriage adds 500lbs to your total with the consequence of 5 years off your life. Enjoy.

This is bullsh*t. I never got my 500 lbs.

Aha, I see. So the cap goes in the cup. 6 months seems like a short time after a lifetime without full ROM. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Can I get my femurs surgically shortened so my squats become easier and more aesthetic ? what about my arms ? with a manlet wingspan I'd look jacked in no time

Are you saying in his e-book he says a feet up bench like this is also Larson press?



If that's the case that's pretty weird because the mechanics of benching like that and a legs straight out bench (which I thought was the only Larson press) are IMO completely different. Having done both plenty having your feet actually on the bench allows you to get much more arch and maintain it, and you can resort to a bit of leg drive if you have to. In contrast legs straight out you can't get or maintain nearly as much arch (especially in lower back obviously) and have no leg-drive backup recourse when it gets hard. Also considering I've never seen him do a bench with his feet actually up in the 2 years I trained at the same gym as him and that benching with your feet up predates his training by a lot, that's kinda weird if he's trying to also name that a "larson press" IMO.

No hate, I think he's an amazing lifter and was right there when he broke the WR cheering him on a filming him, just asking for some clarification.

No he's calling feet straight out 'Larsen Press' but I was referring to Arn catching hell when he referred to his own feet up flat back benching to Larsen Press, and there being posts about it being offensive or mean spirited because of his disability.

Oh, in that case LOL wtf

YOu probably can, but then your muscles would be too long and you would have to have them shortened to accommodate the point where they can give the maximum torque. A better option would be getting your tendon insertion points moved a little.

Conventional deadlift brahs, how wide is your stance? I started out pulling close stance, over time its moved out wider to get a better starting position and get more leg drive off the floor(or so I thought)

But today i was playing around with deadlifts for the second time in 4 months and on one set I moved my feet in pretty close together, and it was way faster off the floor and easier to lock out.
