[manletstrength]

Why is this board so dead? This board was really active back in the day. Too bad it went to Chit

[bigwade800]

Post something to get everyone fired up to post. you said something about training for 6 months and being a beast...how are you going to achieve that?

[Rags85]

Post something to get everyone fired up to post.

Larry Williams is overrated.

[bigwade800]

what do you consider over rated?

[HARRYBEAST]

Wade Johnson is giving up bourbon and powerlifting

[bigwade800]

at least be truthful

Im probably the over rated one

[bigwade800]

that was Wheels first SM contest?

He got 2nd?

I really don't know much about him. I know I've seen some video of him doing some crazy things but, I really don't know much about him.

Lol what does that have to do with my post above?

I'm going to achieve it by training. Do you know who Michael Eaton is? Him and his family trains at my gym. The guy has pulled 900lbs. Come June I'm going to talk to him about training me by him being my coach.

[Rags85]

Hehe, just stirring the pot. He is obviously incredibly good at what he does.

[bigwade800]

Lol what does that have to do with my post above?

does that matter?

you asked why it was dead...I asked a question to get some action. I mean, based on that post, you will be a beast and hayooge in 6 months. I am simply asking how.

I'm not trolling if you think I am.

I'm going to train my ass off for the next 6 months. Training... thats how.

I've been in the gym for a month already. I've already started.

[bigwade800]

Never said that...I asked how you were going to do it like say, be more specific than training your ass off. You are clearly not trolling and very clever so, give us a peak and more post traffic and how you are going to do it.

I'm just doing hypertrophy work for now, bodybuilding type chit. I tore my rotator cuff a few years back and I have s****osis. So, I'm taking it slow and rehabbing my back and shoulder. I havent benched or deadlifted yet. But, I'll know when I'm ready to do those things again. I might start strength training sooner than in 6 months from now. We will see...

[bigwade800]

what numbers?

[manletstrength]

what numbers?

Havent started deadlifting or benching yet.

Back in the day I had a 355lb squat 230lb bench and a 420 deadlift in the 220lb weight class. These numbers were hit in my first meet.

[NorthStrong]

perma rehab mode...gonna try to get myself decent enough to train consistently again for strength and hypertrophy stuff again in a few months.

I believe had that SM contest not had the very worst possible format for the tire flip Larry would've had first. But I could be wrong. Anyway definitely a bright future in SM if he sticks with it, especially if he gains a bit of weight too.

[WorldDomnit]

What would you guys do if you haven't hit a PR in like 5 years?

[manletstrength]

Move up a weight class or switch up my programming.

[WorldDomnit]

Here's more content:

Has anyone tried the new IPF approved X sleeves? I got a pair but it was too small. Made my rehband sleeves feel like ace bandages.

Why does Larry promote a 120lbs 16 year old? Lol, very weird to me.

Go vote for Jen! F*ck gymnastics

Nick Wright says the X sleeves feel like knee wraps. Is this true? Never seen him squat in wraps.

I didn't see any of the contest and not sure how long he prepared. The guy is crazy strong and pretty athletic. 2nd isn't b ad. A little experience will go a long way.

I think of he won the MAS wrestling match he would've placed 1st. But, 2nd place in his first strongman competition is not too shabby.

I haven't tried them, but heard from people that they aren't great or anything special.

I don't know anything about Larry.

Jen keeps getting into 1st while the Russians are sleeping, but then they get back on top. Someone said if you turn on airplane mode on your phone and then turn it off, you can vote again. I tried it out yesterday and it seems to work, so I voted like 5 times straight that way. Might have to do that more in these next 2 days.

The airplane mode trick seemed to work. I just voted 3 times in one minute. I think wifi has to be off. Or at least you have to be connected through cell service.

Yup, because then I guess you have a different IP address and it lets you vote again.

[Jason2459]

Wifi off and turning airplane mode on and off worked like a charm. 3 more votes from me this morning.

6000 behind and last day to vote. And only have till 2PM Eastern Time. 20:00 CET

[manletstrength]

So, I'm starting my journey back to powerlifting next week. Fuk waiting until june. My goals are to obtain a 500lb deadlift and a 300lb paused bench weighing up to a max of 185lbs within the next year.

I have powerlifted and have competed before, which was a long time ago. So, I have experienced all of this once already.

I posted a lot here back then with a different account, mitsuomi. With that said, a lot of you should recognize me now.

The whole bodybuilding lifestyle is not satisfying me mentally. But, powerlifting will. I've always loved lifting heavy with the big 3. So, I will be making my comeback.

I know I have said this before. But, I'm serious this time. I have all the equipment I need; belt, chalk, deadlift shoes, deadlift socks.

So, I'm finally ready to do this again and get down to business.

The voting time has been extended since the system wasn't working last night.

Due to a human error, the voting was closed for several hours after 30th January at 21:00 CET, and therefore the voting will go on until 1st February at 7:30 a.m. CET.

Cool. So until 1:30am Eastern
