You man enough to put up the video nekkid, and youtube doesn't take it down, I am man enough to fap to it and then judge it

Got a deload this week so actually went for a tiny PR. Got it boyos

Also attached my old attempt from 3 years when this comp was on!

I dont remember you slamming the pins like that in the first one....

Edit: good for 358@249. Damn, bro, you have gained 30 pounds and added 100 pounds to that last attempt almost 3 years ago

Women's 165 class entry

Nailed it. A little shorter on the pause than I prefer but the control is there and the stop is there. Good job being the first on the women's leaderboard! You didn't make that look too hard, you sure you aren't sandbagging a little? Saving something for later?

[JamesA1990]

^^ It should be better now 400lb brah

[400Lb Gorilla]

^^ It should be better now 400lb brah

Got it! You are good for it.

Also appreciate the standard weight. One of these days I am going to start one of these and use kilos

The Murican Miscers would go insane!!!!

[Kurial]

Seeing the old competition for 165lb I might have a chance... if nobody posts.
I can probably do 295-300 soon.

haha not only did i slam the pins, i was so stoked n worked up when taking off the plates that the bar tilted and flew off. Can see it right at the end

And yee, been bulking lol. I've said it before but you and your competitions is what got me into strength training and in turn powerlifting. Before that i was mostly trying to be like zyzz (of course)

[sm1ke]

In for chits and giggles. I finally have a home gym so I can actually do compounds with a barbell. I'm not likely to win anything, but it's fun to compete and aim for something. I'll throw up a video sometime this week to get something on the board.

[SkinnyBeast24]

I thoughts wilks took height into account for the calculation.

Damn, you apparently like some long ass pauses I'll be entering 90 pounds then

Yay Hammy!!!

lmao if it does, I'm 5'7" and have a 6'1" wingspan so that will help lol.

You got more.

[Kurial]

There goes the little hope i had

Bruh last years numbers were 350 265 245 for the 165lb. I was gonna recommend water cutting to 148 since you're close... But the lower weight classes were actually stronger. So it's a hit or miss with our class rn.

[Fivefootkillerz]

You got more.

i wana say those were a 8 or 9 today. I would have tried something more but today but i didn't manage to do my real set of 380 for 3. So i didn't push it, next time for sure though!

No reason to push too hard yet, June 24th is a ways a way. Steady growth will do it.

Ok, thank you. Yeah I wasn't thrilled with my pausing either, will work to fix that. Haha first heavy bp day back after deload, will have additional stronk in a month or two.

Damn, you apparently like some long ass pauses I'll be entering 90 pounds then

Yay Hammy!!!

He is honestly way more lenient than what would be expected in any meet. Those pauses have people counting to "one potato, two potato" easily. Strong admiration for people who compete in meets regularly and have to work with those pauses.

Definitely won't be your final lift.

Indeed it won't.

Such is life at 155lbs 5'10". Might put a vid up anyways for fun.

[400Lb Gorilla]

lol actually I just "prefer" longer pauses. I only insist on a pause long enough to show control

thehobbes showed she had it easily under control with no bouncing and the weight stopped. That is all that is really required. Pretty sure hobbes will be putting up 195 on her next attempt, anyway, so this one is just her space saver


I am going to get caught up.... but someone decided to post like 8 videos up there ^^^^ so I got to figure out which one to count


Will update the leaderboard with your entry, too, James.

[400Lb Gorilla]

Fivefootkillerz- 380@264

Strong as fuk. Good for 380. You have that 405 easily, I think. BTW, I hit 340 for one today You repped it out like a warm up D

[400Lb Gorilla]

340@218:




I hit the holding peg/pin on my left coming up(right in the video) and it scared the **** out of me. Other than that this was not a very difficult single. I am probably going to do normal training workouts for the net few weeks then try for tree fitty.


You fukkers mirin my pause?

[DannStark]

Haven't tried going over 225 yet so this is it for now.

[fatboystick]

Looking good in here!

Some damn good lifts already!!

Good job fellas!!

Long pause!

Need to show more leg...no homo.

[sm1ke]

Here's my first attempt: 255@201.5. Sorry for the long ass setup and the bad angle.

[Rocky3540]

Here is a little 455 at 236 just to get something on the board.

And this is why I fear bench in a real competition!! Much respect. A pause of any kind is a whole different animal than a touch and go, and a long pause is like an alien

I'm pretty sure Hammy will put up more than that before this is over.

So, my pause isn't as long as you prefer either, but I gotta post at least one entry, 100#. I did weigh fully clothed with lifting shoes on, but I am solidly in the over 185 class nekkid. Hammy put up the first strong entry, I will put up the first weak one Sorry if I did anything wrong, I didn't think I had singles planned for today until I got to the gym and didn't have a chance to review the rules. DQ this entry if you need to!

Would have put up one for 105 but first forgot to continue recording my plates and paper and then I missed 110. I'll work on at least 110 by the end of the contest. Hammy Hammy Hobbes put up the first strong entry in the women's group and I'll put up the first weak entry at 55% of my body weight....
