The Race To 500!

[Hannibal]

THIS IS AN OFFICIAL CALL OUT THREAD

Genemachine, KG18 and myself are all closing in on a 500 bench. Truth be told I am bringing up the rear at this point. However there are a couple more weeks of training before our respective meets. And in the meet is all that matters.

KG18 is a known shit talker, so it is time for the old man to put him in his place. Somehow I doubt that his mohawk is the ticket to 500. Unfortunately, he doesn't know how to use a computer so I doubt he will see this unless his brother reads it to him. As for Genemachine, I got nothing against him, but he will fall by the wayside as well.

Like taking candy from babies...

let get it in august bro

 

[Hannibal]

let get it in august bro

Thats the plan...I know what I need to do to get there. Just have to do the work.

 

[Screwball]

You're on...

I'll take that bet. I'm officially back in the game. I have four weeks of training under my belt and I'm gaining strength and weight rapidly. Just call it a come back...

 

[Hannibal]

A fourth horseman has entered the race....

Just glad to hear you are back in the gym brotha.

 

[Screwball]

Good to be back, Hannibal. I've been checking in throughout the last few months and all of the Midwest crews have made tremendous progress. I need for some of that consistancy, dedication and drive to rub off on me to get my weak, sorry ass back into shape. I don't have any meets scheduled for the next few months so I expect for all of you to beat me to an official 500 but maybe I can be a bit more competitive in the 550 or 600 race.

 

[Liftbig]

can i get in on this race? lol

 

[spatts]

Screwball, think about the Omaha APF meet November 22. Becca and crew are putting it on, and I think most of us are going.

 

[dg21]

Good to see some competition going on here. I'll be interested to see who makes it to 500 first. I think Kyle is convinced his mohawk is the source of his power and he'll get to 500 first. We are going to be working our asses off every training day to ensure Kyle makes it there first, so you guys do the same.

I also have to say that MjayM and Animalmass are in the mid 4's and rising. They could make a run at it also. Everybody better get to work. Talk to you all soon.

Screwball, good to see you back. Keep us posted on your progress.

 

[Vulgar_Display_Of_Power]

HMMM,

ya'll completely written lil ol me off?

 

[spatts]

Yeah, they forgot me too. I'm only 170 llittle pounds away from 500 myself! lmao

 

[Vulgar_Display_Of_Power]

The Q is which one of you bitches is gonna step up in the race for 700lb SQ?

PS-TAPEWORMS and OLD AGE will not be considered legit excuses in this race boys!

 

[Screwball]

Spatts - The Omaha meet in November sounds good. It would be great to compete with everyone again. Congratulations on your progress. You should be elite by the end of the year.

DG21 - Thanks for the welcome back. I've been following your progress. You are a machine. Truly freakish strength. I can't wait to train and compete with you again.

VDOP - Great to hear from you again. You are always in the mix when it comes to competition. 700 squat and a 500 bench? Let's get it on... I'm in your neck of the woods now so we need to start training together as often as possible. I will PM you with more info.

Strength athletes are the best people in the world. It's good to be back in the game.

Hey, does anyone know what BigOkie is up to? Is he still in the game? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.

If I have my way, it will be next month.

I am so damn fired up. If I could just learn how to squat.

700 will be my third attempt in 4 weeks...so we'll see how long that race lasts.

TAPEWORMS and OLD AGE....

WTF!!!! I get a parasite and lose 30 pounds 4 weeks ago, and Saturday I hit 425 for 3 TWICE, and I don't get mentioned in the race to 500 thread!

Fuck You. Fuck you and your mom.

You're going down now you little pussy.

AnimalMass

 

[benchmonster]

I will politely view this whole thing from the sidelines, and wish all involved the best of luck.

B.

 

[genemachine]

Hmmm, well even if I lose I should get some kind of award for adding 190 lbs to my bench in 7 months. Good luck to all. My joints are so jacked up, my counter ego may have to do the lifting for me. His name is Highly-Sedated-Man. He generally sucks, so... we'll see what happens.

 

[spatts]

Take your parasites, and joint aches, and weight gain/loss and put it behind you. Go forth and kick ass.

 

[Hannibal]

...and my mom.

NIIIICE....

 

[IronLion]

WTF, you gonna come down here for a training day this week Hannibal?


Good Luck to all you guys in August

 

[Vulgar_Display_Of_Power]

...and my mom.

NIIIICE....

Youre moms in the race?!
This will be cool!


Screwball-Check your PM's

 

[Hannibal]

Nope just commenting on Animalmass' "fuck you and your mom"

 

[Screwball]

"Fuck You. Fuck you and your mom."

AnimalMass seems quite hostile. Chalk it up to chemical imbalances.

I kind of wondered why Animal Mass and VDOP were not included in the race to 500. I thought that they both may have hit 500 already. I say the more competitors the sweeter the win will be for the victor.

By the way, where does everyone stand now? Has anyone hit 500+ in training? Where is everyone at officially as far as a meet lift?


VDOP - I received your PM. Mail is on the way.

Ok...for the record, anyone that has yet to bench 500 pounds in a sanctioned meet is officially in THE RACE TO 500. What a sensitive bunch this turned out to be.

Actually this thread was started because DG21 pointed out that Genemachine, KG18 and I were all within 20 or 30lbs.

 

[dg21]

Last night KG18 hit 500 in training. It was awesome. Looks like the young'n might take this race.

 

[Screwball]

It must be official. When is KG18's next meet?

KG18, congrats on hitting the 500. What is your best raw bench? What kind of shirt do you use?

I can't wait until I get the chance to train and compete with you guys again.

 

[dg21]

Screwball, Kyle can't post, he got kicked off for not posting enough or something. He said I could respond though.

I know it must be official, that's why I said it looks like he might win.

Not sure on his RAW bench, we haven't really trained our RAW benches this cycle. Our bench days were devoted to shirt work, board presses and racklockouts.

Kyle uses a Karins open back denim.

We are competeing Aug. 10th in Sedalia MO at the State Fair. It's an SLP meet, so I'm not sure how official that is?? But it's close and lots of friends will be there, so we're doing it.

 

[mjaym]

I also wanted to add that DG21 hit an easy 700 that was about one or two inches from touching. So he will def hit 700 in Sedalia.

 

[Screwball]

I can't believe Kyle can't post anymore. Maybe Spatts can help you out.

I was just messing with you about making the 500 official. If Kyle hit a solid 500 in the gym I know he will crush it on the platform.

SLP isn't the biggest Fed but they are certainly legit. I am familiar with the MO state fair meet and there should be some decent lifting. I believe it's just bench and dead, is that right?

Good luck to everyone competing and I hope you hit 650+.

 

[IronLion]

i thought son light power was a raw federation??

 

[dg21]

Screwball, Yeah it's just push pull. Thanks for the good luck. I feel 700 is going down.

Ironlion, I think SLP has some meets that are only RAW, but the ones I have seen allow equipment.

 

[spatts]

My pet peeve with SLP is that they say they are drug free but never test...no integrity.

 

[sinjinsmythe33]

genemachine...Hmmm, well even if I lose I should get some kind of award for adding 190 lbs to my bench in 7 months...

that is temendous. nothing else i can say.

 

[Hannibal]

HELL YEAH!!...If I am gonna get my ass handed to me...might as well be by the young'n. Wish I had been there to see it.

DG21...guess that is why my phone has been ringing off the hook all day with you trying to get ahold of me. Congrats to you both.

Tell my lil brotha...maybe the Mohawk is the key...

 

[Vulgar_Display_Of_Power]

Tell my lil brotha...maybe the Mohawk is the key... [/B]

Man-wish I had enough hair for a mohawk! Maybe thats the secret to my piss-poor bench.

I do have a natural hairline like Mr.T, that should count for a couple of lbs.
