    HA HA HA HA- that's because IG won't let me post all *kitten* 4 minutes of it- I forgot to load the thing up on youtube- where you can witness all the giggling awkward in it's full glory.

    I didn't care honestly- I was just trying not to die. LMAO.

    Fortunately for me (and or him?) he's a pretty good friend- I should get someone shorter though- poor E is like 6 plus- so him trying to get me out of the hole is a pain in the *kitten*- coupled with the titty touching- it was just- HA- fun times.

    I think at lock out it would have been weird for sure- Like- I'm up dude- I'm good- I don't need your help.

    IG videos- I hit the 3 dots at the top that say "copy share url" and it copies to my clipboard then I just hit paste.

    I also have a "Regramm" app- so I don't know if that has something to do with it. (WHY THE ***K you can't regram something w/ in the actual IG system I have no idea- I need a bloody app to repost something from someone else- that's stupid)

    I've spotted women and have never had to grab their boobs to help them out of the hole. Of course if I were stuck and about to die I wouldn't care too much. If someone grabbed me by the balls and squeezed I'd probably come up out of the hole super fast,lol.

    I actually offered that to E for his next squat set- unsure why he declined. *shrug*


    I think there is a little learning curve on where to comfortably put your hands- we don't have many women that need a real actual help out of the hole on a spot. I'd say most of the time we get a spot it's for mental security- I can't say I've ever seen any of the girls really spotted out of the hole on a real heavy lift. So- not many of the guys have to actually do it.

    I suspect the fact that my friend is f**king huge didn't help- him being down that low to the grown is undoubtedly awkward.

    So you educated him on proper spotting,lol. I was at the gym with my 24 year old nephew and surprised at what he dead lifted. He weighs 185 and hit a set of 10 with 410 lbs. I was impressed. He had been struggling with lifts, now he is all scientific about it and doing well.

    Been helping my 14 year old nephew too. He benched 225 for 4 and 250 for a single weighing 162. I'm damn, only a freshman too.

    yeah- it'll be better next time LMAO.

    Damn- that's impressive- I wish I was young and was more serious about training back then- I was running and we did lift in the off season- but I didn't get serious about it till late high school into college. Man where I could have been had I taken it seriously.

    Glad they are moving along making progress with it- that's fricking cool.

    Yeah, I'm old and running out of certain lifts I can do. Wonder myself had I not stopped lifting at 34 where would I be now. But I will keep lifting heavy in what I can and light in what I can't. Mean while I'll enjoy helping others succeed. I got a few more meets in me even if it's just benching.

    Didn't feel well fueled at all today so I pulled the pin a little early on trying to grind through the last five of these, especially on my own.
    While I'm disappointed I'm not making 225 for 20 I am pleased at the progress... So 210 for 15 and then five.

    You're awesome JoRocka! I decided to do one of CT Fletcher ' s workouts. Bench day- 210 reps 15-20 reps at a time with 225 lbs. I'm cramping like hell today. Maybe not such a good idea but it was different. Minimal time between sets, basically catch my breath shake my arms out little bit and get after it.

    Damn son. I did that many reps for my shoulder but my working squat set is only the 20 reps. I'd have puked if I tried to hit 200 reps squatting. Oof. You're a monster my friend. Truly a monster.

    Good work!

    Squats are still plateauing - 300x5 for my 3+ day of 5/3/1

    Bench on the other hand is feeling great! 5+ day for bench with a rep goal of 9...grinded out a 10th rep!

    And moved up to 45 pull-up reps in 7 min this morning too...10-10-5-5-5-5-5 alternating between wide, neutral and underhand grip.

    And we have essentially the end of my program. I'm going to repeat what I did here with 220 and get as many as I can and go for broke. And then again with 225. If it any get a full twenty in one shot I'll aim for twenty total.

    Finally results posted from the State Open. And I'm so happy to see that my Wilks -- excluding the Wolf Open where I was injured -- improved 11 points!

    I'm not quite batting 400 yet, but I'll get there now I'm injury free. I realize that for a guy my size, I'm relatively not that strong. Last year was kind of a lost year. Sigh. I hope I can make up for that time this year.

    Those are some sick stats USAPL makes available. I love that kind of stuff. Congrats on the increase in wilks. I've been stuck at 352 for a few years and can't seem to get past it.

    It is awesome seeing it visual form. I think Quebec also has something similar.
