Give PLJay a PM. He has one from her and can give you some tips on ordering.

Bump for primobone

We use a manta ray from time to time if our elbows or shoulders are getting sore from heavy squatting and benching. It's snaps onto the bar and fits around your neck. It's designed to place the bar in a higher position above the shoulders forcing you to arch your back. But it also takes the...

Basically the frame is 2x4's with two additional pieces of 2x4 spaced in the middle for support. A single piece of 1/2 inch thick plywood is screwed to the top. The owner of the gym we go to had it upholstered for us. He used two inch thick heavy duty foam padding covered with vinyl to match the...

I should be able to go. If I have to I'll leave work for a few hours to go watch. Gotta be there if the rest of the crew is going. PLJay, I sent the IPF powerlifting screensaver. Check your e-mail.

If we do any barbell extensions, it's always to the chin. It feels like it hits the tri's better. I like to use a slightly less than shoulder width grip. As far as the JM's, PLJay will lift his chin as high as he can and almost touch.

I have a neck harness to work the rear and sides. I use a fixed e-z curl bar gripped in the middle and rest it on my forehead while laying on a bench with my head hanging over the top. Sorry for the run on sentence. I use a thumb under grip and rest them on my forehead for reps of 8.

PLJay has a digital cam. We'll take some pics of the reverse hyper we made to retro fit our power rack and post them for the board. Personally, I worked up to five plates per side leading up to the contest.

That's my plan Screwball. By November I want to be around 265/270. I just don't want most of it to go south if you know what I mean. My wife won't want to be seen with me at the beach if I do. I also thought of going back to the 242's but I don't want to sacrifice the strength. Right now I'm...

Thanks Screwball and Deceiver. That always means alot. And I left out one thing. That total got me 2nd in the 275 class. I weighed in at 251.6. For my squat and deadlift, I used a standard Inzer Hardcore single ply suit and a pair of Inzer briefs I've had since 1988. The bench gear is posted...

Wow! What a weekend. I don't even know where to start. Even though PLJay didn't do as well as he wanted to, I was still proud of all his lifts, especially his awesome 600 bench. Grimmer was outstanding for his first full meet and Freak was.....well he was just plain freakish. I posted pr's in...

Absolutely!!!

Thanks everyone! We're all really looking forward to this one. Some big numbers are going up this weekend. This is my comeback meet so hopefully the knee will hold up. Cubanito, hold your head high and proud when you walk across that stage.

Hey guys, we're staying at the Makai just down from Huge Iron Gym. We gotta have the king size bed dude! Cara would never settle for two double beds. We are newly weds ya know!!! Not to mention it has the stove and fridge. My cell is 863-640-0861 for anyone who needs it. We're taking off around...

Need a little more info. Age, current bench and squat. Current routine. Do you have a contest in eight weeks?
