Welp, think I just put my 50 miler back on the 2021 schedule. December. 4 months to prep and I haven’t run since June 30th and I’m 173lbs. Fuck.

Its going to be one hell of a time balancing work, runs, and sleep but I think I got it in me.


Now or never.
YOLO.

 

That’s some big dick energy. Fuck yes. Make that shit happen

 

Sounds like you’re the epitome of “if it’s worth doing, it’s worth overdoing”.

 

Pretty much. I’d much rather be over prepared than under prepared.

 

Deadlifts are so stupid

 

Yep

 

It’s taking me so much time and effort to break stupid 500lbs which isn’t even impressive lol. Gonna take 10 years to get to 600-700 at this rate.

 

Come lift with me and I'll get you to 500

 

I’m about at that point lol fuck. Went in just to mess around today. 475 flew up. 485 was heavy but went without any hitching. 500 got stuck at the knees and couldn’t push past

 

Come on out

 

I signed up for a power lifting meet in November.

I'm just now getting my deadlift back to 315. My squats are crap. About the only thing going decently for me right now is my bench. I also have to drop 50 lbs to make my weight class.

I'm going in with 3 goals:

1. Have fun.
2. Don't get hurt.
3. 1100 lb total.

 

Whats the weight class? And when’s the meet because dropping 50lbs relatively quickly will suck. Id just compete at your natural weight if it’s your first meet and not cut.

 

I'm currently 290, I signed up for 242. The meet is November 14. If I don't hit 242 by then, I can always compete one weight class above (or below). So, it's not a hard target, just something to shoot for.

 

shittt I’d just do 275. Unless you have a ton of excess body fat to just lose, more than 10lbs a month is gunna suck while prepping.

 

@DirtyTerp How’s the new position going for you?

 

Fantastic. Basically workout, train, and shoot guns all day. Much better than patrol.

 

Idk who all follows lifting news but there’s a new axle press world record set by iron bony. Also a famous power lifter known as black Tom cruise passed away after being in a car accident a week or so ago.

 

Biby fuckin strict pressed 478lbs overhead... STRICT press. What the actual fuck.

 

His clean is so damn rough. He’s got potential to blow the record out the water if he can work on his clean.

 

Agreed. But technique never seemed to be his strong suit. Personally, I feel like if he cleaned up his log technique he could crush Big Z's world record.
