Hey guys, everything looks good. When is the Springfield meet? Any ideas on openers?? Hey AM, check your pm's when you get a chance... Later guys, good luck!!!!

Well, I've read where Louie suggests 30" or so. I think that Bob Youngs said 36". Either of those are freaking low for me, 6'5". I usually set them at two or three different heights, depending on how good I feel that day. I prefer to use the highest setting, which is about a 8"+ range of...

Hey AM, well powerlifting is not for everyone. It hurts like hell and is hard on you and if you do it enough you are probably gonna get hurt. Now having said that, if he is willing to keep it up, you are just gonna have to find out how to motivate him to lift harder. If someone slapped me...

Hey DBCooper, Do you know what to ask for from Titan. I called them and they said they had some different suits that were made out of boss material. I am gonna order one and was just curious to know which boss suit you used? Also, do you remember how much they charged for it? Thanks man

Hey VDOP what's up?? What is cardio???.....:) Well, I don't believe that doing cardio is necessary in the least bit. Just clean up what you eat a little and drop out fast food and cokes. I don't think that you should worry about dropping weight unless you are planning to drop to a lower...

Hey Dave, you had a hell of a meet. As far as the bench sucking thing, well talk to everyone else in the meet who didn't even get close to 500. I'm glad you mentioned cutting the back of the shirt, I was gonna mention to you sending it back to take some material out because in the warmups I...

Well man, I hope you get feeling better. I hope to see you in Stillwater at the meet. The meet here is put on by Dan Austin. It is at the new weight room here at OSU, the only good college in Oklahoma. It is Dec 6 and it is unsanctioned. It is a push/pull, or you can only push. The entry...

Damnit man that sucks!! I can understand why you won't be there. We'll miss you there. Hope you get to feeling better, and I'll post the results as soon as I get back to my computer. Get to feeling better and get back to lifting.

Bench, you've been working in the QuickeeMart too long if you think your a hummingbird. :) I think that I am going to skip this meet. That way I will be able to help out everyone. I am going to do one at my gym on the 16, a bench only. I will wait to do the full power meet until I have all...

Well done!!! It's about time....:) Glad you finally made it official. Congrats on the total too! Not a bad squat either!

I would really like to come. I'll have to find out when my finals are and if the Dan Austin meet is that weekend. If not, I'd like to try to come. VDOP, email me. Maybe we can work something out. [email protected]

Congrats VDOP!!! Sounds like you had a great meet. What were your numbers? A 551 on deadlift is great. Are you gonna do the meet in Tulsa on the 23rd?

Hey VDOP, still alive and kicking. Just been busy trying to get a new job at a new bar lined up. Hopefully will know soon. Sorry to change this thread. I really like your guys new site, I have been over there and really like it. Good luck with your book, just let us know when we can get it.

Well Congrats. It was good to train with you guys on Saturday. I hope to train again soon. Well, now the bad news. The 1750 total is not elite. 1824 at 220. But the good news is you are close!! By the way, are you sore from those pulls on Sat? My back is still hurting. For anyone who...

Hey Irish, that's great. Looks like 600 will finally fall at your meet. I'm thinking that you are only doing one day a week of benching, right? Just boards then shirts, right? Sounds great. Congrats! Which shirt are you using for these?
