Picture Update: Summer Is Here. Lets Show off the Hard Work!

[mm107]

Hey dude, can you tell me what gear you're currently using? You said you lift in the APF and you mentioned a double-ply shirt but in those pictures of you squatting and deadlifting you appear to be using a Titan Centurion along with the good ol' inzer wraps. That's all USAPL legal gear, single ply suit. What kind of gear can you squat 600+ in? Also, as a side question, how much do you find the suit helps your sumo deadlift? I think it fucking impedes my conventional-stance deadlifting, that's why I ask.

Look, don't keep defending yourself. Just go ahead and post your numbers and your photos and your lifts. If someone doesn't want to believe, just link to powerliftingusa and then let it slide.

Good work, keep it up, and remember to lift for YOURSELF. At the end of the day, none of this means anything to anyone except you.

Get healthy!

awsome post bro thank you!

My First Suit was a handme down Squat Suit, that someone actually here on EF, mailed to me and let me use my first 2 competitions.

In the pictures that suit is actually the 'BOSS w/ NGX material i believe, and it is in fact 2 Layers'

My bench shirt is "open back/cut back Rage X single Ply", and in the bench video i am wearing this one. I also have a 2ply Rage X, open back, scoop neck, but never used it since my arms are too small for it.

I used to deadlift Conventional Style, now i have went onto Sumo Style, only because the suit fits the sumo groove alot better and actually i get about 30lbs out of my squat suit for deadlifts. I cannot deadlift conventional in the suit, it completely throws me off as well.

My Current Squat Suit is the "Metal Pro (275$), i still cant tell which has more carry over since the metal suit comes standard and you cant modify it with out sending it away to a specializt. the Titan came with Special Hips that were made for skinny guy with big legs. My metal suit, is made for a fat guy with fat legs, so the legs fit awsome, but my hips are loose....

I do lift in AAPF/APF, i hope to do nationals next year. My buddy and I are going to focus on it for the next entire year. I'm going to do a small meet in october in Tribes Hill, with the Iron Asylyum Gym. By then my shoulder should be balanced out and i have grown a ton since throwing on the bench shirt so it should fit tighter and my weights should go up.

Everything in competiton is about your lifting technique, if its great u will lift great. (unless your a freak and just crazy strong)

in dec of 2006 you squat 560, bench 315, dead 520 and now only 6 months later you can squat over 600, bench over 400, and dead close to your squat ????? you so full of shit dude ! why is only your 520 deadlift listed in the APF results ? Wheres the 600lb squat ? Sorry, but in any legit power lifting meet none of your squats where even close to below paralel. did you bomb on the squat also therefore no APF result ?? There is no way you go from 315 to 400 in 6 months in the bench. ive been showing this post to 3 friends of mine, one who benched 600 clean, and there all saying the same thing, bullshit. the only lift you have listed as an apf result is your 520 dead in dec '06. if youve been competing in apf sanctioned meets and your lifts were good then they would be listed somewhere.
you want to prove me wrong, go to the gym and load the bar with 600 so we can clearly see the plates on the bar, then let us see you drop below paralel, tops of thigh below tops of knee, and squat the weight. use whatever gear you want. then do the same with the bench. and oh ya, deadlift "close to what you squat", 600lbs not 520lbs. im sure youll notice a bit of a difference.
nothing you have to show proves a thing except maybe to the untrained eye. and not that anybody will even give a shit, but since you keep asking I squated 575, benched 360, and dead lifted 550 about 20 yrs ago in the 221's. I missed on the first 2 squat attempts because of depth so I know how hard it is to get below paralel especially with a suit thats to tight. and i still got one red on the last attempt. i cant even remember who sactioned the meet but it was just a local meet in belfast, maine. i havnt competed since because i just dont have the genetics. i came in 4th place in a local meet so it just wasnt worth the pain. i do however have many friends who compete and have been to many meets to spot and help with gear so i have the experience to feel confident in what your saying and what your showing doesnt add up at all. at age 46 im pretty confident i could hit the numbers needed to break all the state of maine records for the senior class so if and when i compete again ill be sure to post some real results.

I'm much more impressed by your lifts than your physique.. regardless, GOOD WORK!

hmmmm, AM I DONE PROOVING MYSELF?

"There is no way you go from 315 to 400 in 6 months in the bench."
LMAO, so getting 315 on my 2nd attempt, and going for 350 my third attempt means what? Oh yea, that my max for the day was somewhere near 340 ish. HMM now can someone who was still learning his shirt improve his technique to get an extra 40 - 60lbs, simple answer YES, hard answer, YOU CANT DO IT, BUT I SURE DID.

Dude, after my second meet i went ahead a went on 500mg test/week i GOT ton stronger and bigger and my gear fit tighter. Im done arguing my point to you. I DO SQAUT 600lbs no matter what you or your buddies think. I DO Bench 400lbs (as i posted the video already and u doubt, next time i max on bench i will walk over and seperate the plates for any ignorant peopkle) And i DO Deadlift over 550 as well. (which is already better then you so if no matter what I KNOW I AM STRONGER THEN YOU, and at this point that is all that matters)

If mike had posted that Ll Cool J benches 500lbs then no-one would have questioned him, but god forbid he claim a 400 bench in a shirt.. can't be done, surely.

lol THANKS TWEAKLE, means alot. thats what im saying lol hes making it sound that its IMPOSSIBLE for me to hit 400lbs. Meanwhile a benchshirt can help from 50-150lbs if you know how to use it....

Your right tweakle, next summer its 220 or bust. =]

when i want some MILFs i leave the chest hair alone =] younger women seem to like it shaved, while older women like it....got to find the balance!
