I feel like if you are double overhanding a PR you can definitely go higher unless you are a beginner?

I did a comp today. 70kg snatch and 84kg C&J. Getting much better at actually doing the lifts efficiently. Could probably jerk 100 but my clean starts falling apart in the 80s.

More importantly, the dude who won best male lifter had a Goku singlet. I kind of need one now.

And Thor still finished in third place, one point in second! Is it time fro Shaw to retire?

It also looks like Shaw tore his brachialis during the event. His hamstring definitely hindered his training but he was also traveling a lot filming a tv show with Eddie and training in random gyms, whereas Thor and Martins looked far more serious about their prep. I think he could still be a top competitor for a year or two more but he's probably better off if he continues to branch out into other things.

I didn't get that close.

He stayed around another half hour or so. Figured it was better to let him finish his work out and keep the hope that no one saw when he figures it out later.

Everyone definitely saw though.

Squatting is so much more fun when you have people spotting you holy poo poo. I didn't know I was under so much mental stress due to my fear of hurting myself failing a set.

I really need to ask how much you are squatting where this is even an issue.

I can say benching without spotters teaches you self knowledge and control of your body, you learn this is gonna be the last rep even though I think I could do more. My bench maxes were done in a rack with safety bars tho.

Haven't benched lately, last go left shoulder betrayed me. Should get back to it.

I'm not squatting heavy, today I failed my last set of 275 triples, but 4 years ago I hosed up a 285 pr attempt where my shoulders suddenly rolled forward causing the the bar to go up over my head and since then I've been kind of afraid to really push myself. I've not gone to failure on a squat after that until today

you should practice bailing. I've failed a 460 only using a squat stand and knowing how to bail just lets you get out of it easy.

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am.

Fun tip;

do not attempt to bail out of a safety squat bar like you would a regular barbell

that's bad times.

I'm gonna throw my opinion out there, I dunno about the exact women being discussed but I think a 300-350 lb deadlift is perfectly achievable for most natty women. IIRC their lower body strength is actually close to men's when accounting for body weight.

If I know what he's talking about it was Dana Linn Bailey and some obviously juiced crossfit girl. And Maddie Forsberg who I won't judge.

e: too be clear I don't care if anyone takes steroids. Steroids are cool.
