I appreciate all the support, it wans't my first time getting to know slin. I was just looking to push an envelope in that category a little harder seeing how I pushed the others to the limit. My weight is still down, I am 228, I lost 91 pounds since the incident 14 weeks ago. I am still out...

I was told by some top powerlifters the 3 hormones that contol muscle growth are testosterone, GH, and insulin. Insulin will get you very big and increase your recovery. I was using about 20 iu 3X/day. You have to eat alot of carbs. Insuling forces gylcogen and aminoacids into the muscle, so...

Hi, I have not been on the boards in a while, I have been training for a PL meet. I was up to 322 in jan. I was using insulin and went into a coma, I was in it for a month and I am feeling better. My weight is down to 235 lbs now. It is dangerous stuff, I am through with it. strongestsurvive

Where was the meet held? Strongestsurvive

It looked like you had about 5 something on the bar, I am surprised that it came crashing down like it did. After the shirt popped it looked like it would have crushed you in the video. I take it you get a lot out of those shirts. I had a poly pop once, and I was able to finish the lift...

Yeterday, I benched 405 for 2 sets of 8, and today I did rounded back rack deadlifts from 6 inches below the bar on the bottom pin in the power rack and pulled 855 with straps. I was motivated by my friends CD -drop kick murphys. Training is going really good for my meet. strongestsurvive

On thursday, Nov 21st, I had a heavy squat workout and I did a 765 with knee wraps and belt, it went up really easy. I am going to hit some benches tomorrow and try for 365 for 20 reps. I am doing all the reps on the bench because of the tricep tendon tear and the 3 surgeries that followed...

I am competing in the APF because it is the only organization that is really active up here in maine. I am gong to do it raw for my first meet back just to see where I am without the equipment. Then I eventually I will see where I will go. I first tore my tendon in a meet not because lifting...

Yesterday, I did some reps on the bench and hit 315 for 20 reps, and today I deadlifted 675 for 5 reps. I will update this as time goes on with my progression. (All my lifts in training are only done with a belt and maybe knee wraps on the squat). strongestsurvive

I am currently training for the Maine state championships (APF), This will be my first meet since I tore my tricep tendon a year and a half ago. I am currently benching 405 for 2 sets of 8, I squatted 715 for 3 raw last week, and I pulled 635 for 7. I still have 16 weeks to go, I will really...

Ryan can certainly bench, but has he ever entered a powerlifting meet and what was his total in a meet. I see that he does train legs, but does he do squats and deadlifts? Strongestsurvive

And I am glad to see that me and pljay finally agree on one aspect of powerlifting. I think that it is great that there are guys who can push certain lifts to the extreme, but it takes being somewhat good in all 3 lifts to win a meet. I always tell people that someone is not a powerlifter...

I can bench right now, 405 for 2 sets of 7 fairly easily. I am not pushing the weights any heavier right now because I want to ease my way back up their. It was really stupid for me to get into fights after a surgery, but anyone can look back and say something is stupid after it happened, I...

The guy Mike Scott, who is going to train me, used to run the Hawaii World Record Breakers meet with Gus Reithswich, But Irish I did tear the tendon and had 3 Surgeries, About a month after the first one I punched a guy out at a pantera concert, then had it reattached, then a month after I got...
