lol imagine going into a meet and all they use is kg.

 

That's when you say "this is America. Greatest country on earth. We don't use those euro sissy numbers"

 

I decided that since my right side is so much stronger than my left I am just going to abandon the left side and only work out my right side

 

Finally broke into the 1000 club, been doing the Wendler program for 3 months and re-tested my maxes last week. 6'5", 210

Bench - 220 o weak, long ass arms suck for bench)
Squat - 340
DL - 510

Also lifted a 200 snatch today, 265 clean and jerk, 280 squat clean. I want to get 300 clean by the end of the year.

 

Had a really good upper body workout today

wide-grip lat-pulldowns: 3 sets of 10, 8, 8 @ 210
v-grip rows: 3 sets of 10, 8, 8 @ 180 lbs
flat dumbbell flys: 3 sets of 10, 10, 9 w/ 50 lb dumbbells
incline dumbbell press: 3 sets of 10 w/ 50 lb dumbbells

hammer curls: 3 sets of 12 w/ 40 lb dumbbells

Also, I just heard this kid say to his friend, "I don't know why they say you gain weight in the winter. I'm down like 5 lbs. Whoever came up with that shit is wrong."

 

did you ask him if he was preparing for hibernation????

 

haha no. He's one of those mother fuckers that stays up here for like 4 hrs talking to folks. Whenever he walks up, I act like I'm on the phone lol

 

While at the gym yesterday, a couple people were going for the 1200 club at school. Come to find out, my buddy totaled 1650 at 180lbs, no suit, the other day.
If he wasn't so into body building, I think he could do well in power lifting.

 

Damn, that is a lot no matter how it is distributed.

 

yeah those are my warm up numbers.... but what evs

 

I don't understand people like that. One of my biggest problems with globo gym type places is I feel like it takes me so long to get a great work out because the machines are being "used" by someone ie. sitting there on there phone or taking 30 minutes to do a set

 

Yes. This kid is a whole different breed though. He's probably 23-24, has extremely shitty hygiene (wears the EXACT same clothes every day, long fingernails, smells like shit, long and greasy hair, etc.) If he didn't have a home, you'd think he was homeless. The bad thing is that we've got fucking showers here! Anyway, he fucking talks to EVERYONE. He'll seriously be up here for 3-4 hrs talking to people, getting on their nerves. My boss (the owner) always tries to jack up his membership, but the mother fucker always finds a way to pay it each month! Niqqa is the worst part of my day. Although there is another guy in his early to mid 40's who hits on every single girl in the gym. If he rides by the gym, he'll stop if there are a lot of cars, just to hit on girls. He's overweight, but horny as fuq....like, the dude needs professional help. Every time he comes up to me, it's regarding how he'd fuck some girl on the elliptical or some shit lol. I've seriously never had an actual conversation with him outside of sex and I talk to to this mother fucker 4-5 days a week!

 

i call bullshit

 

Call it all you want, it happened.

 

Those are some impressive numbers for someone that size, but I've seen it before. Hell, at 209, I'm only in the 1085 club. I have got to get my squat numbers up

 

i call it fucking bull shit and it did not happen. that is 504.51 wilks, get the fuck outta here. world class lifters barely break 500

 

I have a friend who weighs 182 and his 3 lifts are 1305; he also does like 5 test cycles a year lol

 

1305 is doable, but 1650, come on man, nevermind 181 (83kg) weight class, fuck weight classes, his friend's wilk score is in top 150 in the whole world.

And top 20 in 83kg class in the whole world, bitch please!!

 

Don't let your jealousy fuel your thoughts. Videos of people lifting more then that on youtube in same class. I know it's up there and he has potential to go far with it, hence the comment I made about his body building. I've personally seen him pull and squat over 6, so I fully believe it.
It's just powerlifting, try not to get all worked up about it.
