I go by LATMAN over there btw. Don't mind the facial expressions, lol.

BTW, anybody have an idea ofwhat the green bands(average) setup I have in the deadlift pic might add at lockout? My ROM is about 21" and they are doubled around two dumbells. Lockout is hellish on those!!

Great pics and nice setup. You are a animal. Thiose look liek they would wrek havoc on the back. I need to try those. I like your gym if i had that and my partners would train there we would be all set.

Good job bro! Cant wait till your next meet, whenyou pull big!

 

[Deciever]

you look a lot bigger/thicker than you did at the meet. You actually kinda look like a mini b fold

how old are you, how much do you weigh?

 

[I'D RATHER BE DEADLIFTING]

Thanks B Fold. I got the idea for those farmers from a link you posted, so thanks.

I also give you major credit for handling those heavy stones. That one is a baby compared to the ones you man-handle.


I am 22, 5'7" and a whopping 150 lbs soaking wet.

 

[b fold the truth]

How heavy was your stone man?

Give yourself credit...always.

I think the plans for that stone that my buddies had said like 120-140 lbs, but I stepped on the scale with it and it was just over a 100 lbs. Way different than 100 lb dumbell or barbell though...way different.

Yea and thanks again for those plans for the farmers walk. Everyone is jealous of them, lol. Can't weight to add weight next week! Also gonna try them for heavy static holds soon.

 

[b fold the truth]

I have a 185 you would love to play with!!!

You can use the Farmers Deadlift as a ME exercise if you like...just for variation.

[I'D RATHER BE DEADLIFTING]

Hmmm, that's a great idea. Maybe I'll try those in place of my weird- band deadlift set-up next week. Gracias

the scenery was nice too we dont have seasons in fla its hot or extremely hot we cant train outside would need O2 tanks

 

[BigArnie]

IRBD, I envy you, man. Very nice setup you've got. Strong too!

One suggestion on the atlas stone: Turn your belt around so that the buckle is in the front and then make a little loop with the unused part of the belt (e.g. don't tuck the free part all the way into the loop) so that your belt has got a little "belly" in front of your stomach. When you initially deadlift the stone into your lap, this protrusion on your belt will then act as a support under the stone when you shoot it upwards with your hips. Trust me, this makes a huge difference, especially when the weight becomes very heavy.

Hope this makes sense...

 

[I'D RATHER BE DEADLIFTING]

Ahh, see we turned it around because we thought it would be in the way. Thanks
