Help in Sarasota, Fl

[tigertat]

Sup guys, I dont train west side yet but plan to. Yo guys that have been to Huge Iron lifts over the past year or 2 have probly seen my one boy, Kevin Mink. He lifts in the 275's and is usually first or second in the meets over there, big blocky bald mofo! The only problem with my crew is that on is in HS, on primarily lifts at home and the other follows Kevins lead (who thinks he knows it all about lifting). I work in with them but seldom work out with them. The nice thing is that we lift at a YMCA that has everything we need including a platform, good squat rack, and very few people after 7:00. They dont mind the chalk and powder either.

Welcome to the boards, it's too bad that u live 4 hours away or else I'd be able to train with someone else. Either way good luck on ur search man.

was kevin mink in daytona on dec 1st cause i was there lifting in the teens and mens 220 open. i cant really remember who was in the 275's. How strong is your HS lifter and what are Kevins numbers and your numbers at. is kevin gonna be there in june cause a bunch of us are going.

sup freak! Kevins lifts I'm not to sure about, but I know he was there late last year. They had actualy anounced him as 275 winner but it was a mistake. His # are around 500 bench, 600+ sq, High 500 DL, the HS kid hasn't done a meet yet but I think he will be weighing in at 150 or so lbs. My lifts suck for my weight. I am 320-330 bench, 455 SQ, 430 DL. I would like to either cut weight and get down to 242's or get my lifts up to par before I compete.

Tapout, there is a jujitsu dojo about 2 miles from where I live in Sarasota I still am not able to train because of my knee. I am unable to kneel or put someone in my gaurd, I guess I should try try wearing a brace like I do to squat.I am curious how you fit lifting in with your martial arts. I always end up cuttting back on one or the other. I can't wait to get back in. I will check your school out sometime.
Tigertat, you guys lift at a ymca? I have never been to a Y that allows me to bring bring chalk or anything like that.

 

[tigertat]

Oh hell yea bro, we get all kinds of roody poo up in there! They have gotten used to us, and we pretty much have the run of the place. Chains and bands would not be a problem either, we just havent gotten any yet.

you are right shadow you have to put one first

if you power lift and do too much jujitsu you will hurt all the time

i have decided weights are more important to me i can be 190 and real good in jujitsu and be tried alot or stay 244 and keep my brown belt and do it 1 x per week for about 2 hours to keep my skills and cause so big dont get tried too often but when i do i still have skill and a surprise for them

we are putting on a grappler tournament april 20 up here submission only and our brazilian is now going to compete i got to go see it
