Haha .

I out lift most people in my gym. And I'm usually atleast 20lbs lighter and younger by atleast 10 years.

When I quit baseball a few years ago, I needed something to do. Weightlifting was my only option due to my injury. So I went full force.

You should give me like.....15lbs of you body weight.....I need it. .


Do you have a journal?

what is this injury?

5'7 179lbs 36in vert,4.55 40yrd dash
goal by fall 185-190lbs
bench 255x2 4/20
squat 405x1 4/20

Ben dur

no i do not
never had the self discipline

and i cant afford to lose 15 lbs

at 175 i can barely keep up with your lifts

dont get me wrong

when i do deads for reps with 315
at close to 6' heigth
i piss plenty of people off

but you are a freak of nature

keep it up
id love to see what kind of potential you could have at 180lbs

Baseball has a lot of twisting involved. (Pitching, throwing, swinging a bat). Back in the day I had really bad posture. Which I was unaware of. The bad posture caused a weak spot in my lower spine to form. All the twisting involved, and the practices 5-7 days a week plus games lead to a stress fracture in my spine. I swung a bat and the vertabrae fractured and I pretty much fell onto my knees in pain. It was horrible. I could barely walk for several months.


Damn. I wish I could be your size. You are lucky. Maybe when I grow up I will be able to achieve the 170 - 180lbs range.

Oh I bet people watch you peform those deadlifts. I know I would watch you. Haha.

But thank you very much for the compliment and self esteem raiser. Even though this is just an online forum. It means alot.

Ben dur

well your lifting heavy man

im a little taller than you so 175 on my frame isnt anything incredible

how much do you weigh?

your certainly strong as hell for your size judging by your photo

and yeah its an online forum
but think about it like this

people alll over the world can compare their lifts to yours, and yours are certainly substantial

maybe not "elite" but certainly impressive

Yeah you are about 4 inches taller then I am haha.

Right now I weigh right around 154 or 155. My goal at the moment is 160lbs. And I am 5'7. Almost 17 years old now.



I guess that is true. Thanks man . Maybe someday I will be part of that "elite". Whatever that really means. I guess thats a broad goal.

Ben dur

yeah
your well on your way
keep training smart and youll get there for sure

you have great potential

and having the broad goal of basically

improving yourself to an unknown level
is not really tangable
but its great motivation

there is always some form of improvement
no matter how "elite" you become

so its one of those goals that you can strive for even if it has no definite point of success

you dig?

You'd be surprised how much more stable it makes you during heavy squats. Even made it easier to breathe.

Quoi

How do you like the split squats??? They sound challenging!!!

The belt makes it easier to breath wow I wonder why.....?

RasPlasch

Yeah I think so. The 7th rep was a struggle so I might move down to 55's. My form was sooo shitty. I haven't performed these forever. I was rusty. We will see next time.

Lol good one. Deep and slow.

FishOrCutBait

Well, drop it down then man. Always better to err on the side of form and rep cadence.

I plan on it. It sucks though. When I used to do these, I could get 70's for 4. Thats why I tried 65's.... didn't work out to well.

soon enough youll be back where you were!

Thank you!
405 is my next goal. Which is a ways away I believe. Last time I tried 315 I only got it for 2 reps.


Deadlifting is fun though isn't it?

Ben dur

my entire routine is based around (or a variation of)

deads
squats
db bench press
standing overhead press
and pullups

these are my fav. exercises
