Gladiator vs Tblock

Tblock1 said:
Yeah I can stand on a platform and reach like a foot past my toes lol, but I just can't do btn military. I can't reach behind my back and touch the opposite arm:( I like your stratehy of switching it up, I am doing split jerk and loving it, plus I do db military seated.
Sorry you have to do deadlifts again lol! I'll have the 445x1 video up soon;)

Dude try 1 armed barbell snatches they are thr fucking shit lol! But yeah I saw your snatch video and your form was nice! You were definitely doing more powersnatches though, but I like them better anyway. Fuck my form sucks on snatches:(
 
the.gladiator1987 said:
dude my first one was slow motion compared to the others lol. whats the difference between power snatch and bb snatch?
Click to expand...

oh its like the difference between power clean and clean. In a full snatch you do a full squat while you catc the bar, then yuo overhead squat it up. In a powersnatch you just do a quarter squat or so and catch it. Unless you are an olympic athelete the power snatch is better I think, easier to learn.

oh gotcha. I actually have more explosion with my hang cleans, but can do more weight with power cleans. Id rather do hang cleans any day

If you ever get a chance could you video you hang cleans because I really want to do them but my catch sucks on the cleans. Ie I literally just can't catch it over 165 lol!
 
Tblock:

Bench: 185x15
Squat: no video
Deadlift: 315x15
Military press: 135x9
1 handed deadlift: 255x1 no strap, 315x1 strap
pullups: 55x3 (if you count the third rep)

I decided not to do the squats right now because I stalled on them and I am going for pure strength, 5x3 and 5x4 double progression, adding 10 pounds every 2 weeks. I knew the soreness would kill my running for a week too, can't have that.

Gladiator
Bench: 185x29
Squat: 225x27
Deadlift: 315x21
Military press: 135x14
1 handed deadlift: no video, 205?
Pullups: 70x2

Tblock= 1
glad= 5

Gladiator wins!:( :D

That was a lot of fun, I want to do more challenges now. Maybe a push/pull thing?

lol. How many times have we been over this babe? :)

If we do it, i think we should do dips, chins, deadlift, military press, and squat since those are the 5 things we're closest in. I am going to have to get access to a video camera!!

bro if we're doin chins then we're doin bench.

instead of military it should be floor to overhead :evil:

If you like we can wait a few months, now Im on 5/3/1 I wanna wait 2 cycles or so until we do it.

All the more reason for you to really nail your benching to try and catch up :)

Lol you will smoke me on chins.

lol i just want it to be "as competitive" as possible if we do it. If you think i'll smoke you in chins we don't have to do it.

I think dips/squats/deads would be the closest if you wanna do 3.. i'd also have no problem with floor -> overhead with something like 95 lbs

well either way its gonna be hard for me to get the exact same poundage as you because Im in kilograms but I can get within 1lb and sometimes I will be bang on.

Will be interesting with dips since Im not going them anymore with my new routine! Im happy to do chins it will be a fun challenge but I will get battered lol

Yeah comeone jdid it doesn't matter if you get beat I knew from the start that I would get beaten by glad but it was still realyl fun. Does anyone have an idea for another challenge like the 6000 pound one that everyone can do?

lol do you think i care if i lose the comp? Will it really effect my training and my entire morale if i lose the comp to EM? Rhetorical question bitch (sorry just felt like saying that.. it was a line in some stupid movie i think Mr. Woodcock)

If i find a video camera i will do the comp.

Lol I am going to have to use that rhetorical thing from now on! The reason
I said this is it seems like you kept saying " Oh lets not do bench em you are too far ahead on that" etc. But I can understand you wanting to be as competitive as possible. Come on though I want to see your videos! BTW, I think you would be devastated if you lost to em and would probably stop lifting:)
