I went out and bought 4 one pound ankle weights. They were all I could find. They look dumb as hell but they do their job. It also means when I'm at, say, 351 or 356 pounds (or whatever) I can wrap the one pound weight in the middle of the bar.

that's good to know b/c I really enjoy shoeless. It really, not only elinates the cushiony heel issue, but it really helps me keep correct form.

Interesting that this thread was brought back from the dead. Over the past 6 months I've been squatting and deadlifting barefoot. I asked my dad (a physician) whether it's an issue and he said it wasn't but he did specify that if you put enough weight on your feet, arch support might be an...

Ones I've done: Exhibitionism is big one. I've done it on occasion (at a party, a few people walked into the bedroom and stayed around to watch, also the changeroom of the gym) but I guess what I'd love to do is fuck someone in front of a sizable crowd. I'd prefer it be a crowd that is...

That's unfortunate, all my favorite guys are in IFSA. I'd love to see Z compete in WSM again though. I have to believe he'd win in a walk. I'm biased though, I guess.

I always thought Travis Ortmeyer was from IFSA? I like him and if were a gambling man I'd put money on him.

When using a bar, do you use a wide grip or a close grip?

I've read a couple books that say upright rows are bad for your shoulders (I've got The New Power Program in front of my as I speak). I'm also pretty positive it was how I screwed mine up (after about 3 months it's fine). I can post the whole quote if you'd like, but I'm not all that clear...

With the exception of Quebec, of course. I don't know what they do in that province but if you catch any of the canadian strongmen challenges, 8 out of 10 are french canadian. The more and more people talk about it, the more and more I really should videotape myself (the main problem being...

I get canker soars (oral herpes?) but I've got nothing on my junk.

That's 62.5% of a ton...that's basically squatting a really really large full grown adult male moose.

First of all we assume I'm attracted to her: Then I'd have to ask why: If she's really religious and is saving herself for marriage then I'm out. Quickly. If she just hasn't met the right guy and is somewhat particular with whom she sleeps with then I'm in (so to speak). If she's frigid and...

Yeah, you should be able to bench out of it no problem. I'd ask to see if it has a maximum weight it can handle...

What's a lot for someone who weighs 215 (me)? I didn't think 380 for 5 was all that much in the grand scheme of things (it is for my gym, but it's really the exception). I have no interest in going to a Powerlifting meet of any sort but I am a little curious how I'd stack up at a small...

380 for 5 (supposedly that's 428 for one rep, but I've never tried so who knows). As far as gear goes, I wear a weight belt and I always do my best to go right to the floor. I don't know if 500 (for at least a couple reps) is a realistic goal for the end of '08 (no PEDs) but I'm going to...
