Welcome To The Pain!!!

[goob]

Those good mornings are absolutely astonishing!! Infact ALL of your numbers are incredible.

.....and thats just a "decent" day. Dear lord. You can deadlift almost 2 x I can......off a box.

 

[thewicked]

i've also been training to do this shit..and probably weight a little more than you do too HAHA! I'm just happy being a shape..not IN shape! I train to pick up heavy shit.. anyone can do it. IT's just my priority that's all HAHA nothing too nutz about it.. i gaurentee you you can pull easily more than you do now if you just let your mind get out of the way! HAHA everyone can! It's funny..all you need is the right motivation!

 

[King Silverback]

Good GOD man, IMPRESSIVE #'s to say the least!!! I tried the PLing thing about a year back (Foolish I know starting at 38) and the most I ever got was 375 Bench/505 Squat/and 515 Deadlift!!! My #'s pale compared to you, Good Stuff, keep it going Brother Wicked!!!

 

[PeteTheGreek]

never too late to start my brutha! HAHA they have a seniors division for a reason! Got two buddies in the gym in their late 60's that just did their first meet and LOVE IT!

don't worry about hte numbers compared to everyone else when it comes to lifting in general..as long as you're striving for the best you can and never settling for anything but your best..the numbers will come.


and you've got to put it in perspective..i'm only 24 HAHA... call it the stamina of youth! i'm sure my time will come when i'm older HAHA!

haha just north of arlington man in euless!

nope.. that kinda goodmorning is common in powerlifting gyms..but not the typical gym which is why alot of people are blow away by it. It's like asking how many times you've seen someone bench press 400lbs in your typical corporate gym..usually maybe once or twice. But in a powerlifting gym or a hardcore gym..if you're not pressing 500 or more, get the hell out of the way..

unless you're below 200lbs...in which case...400 you da man LOL

 

[danzik17]

Holy shit dude. You freaking good morning more than 2x what I squat. Jesus.

 

[yellowmoomba]

Nice work going on in here

WELCOME TO THE PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!

MOMMY!!!!

 

[goob]

315lb incline.......nuff said.

Good god, I'm running out of superlatives to describe the wicked's workouts. I'm sure the world moved when he did those inclines.

 

[King Silverback]

Insane my Friend, just plain Insane!!!

 

[thewicked]

squattin today just blew balls.. iwasn't feeling it and need to get my love of squatting back and say **** the numbers. They'll come in time.

DE lowerbody..

squats *wide stance* on a 14"box

barx15x1
135x15x1
225x5x1
315x5x1
405x5x1
500x5x1
585xmiss.. relaxed my hips on the box and knew the moment I did it I was sunk. Box was REAL deep today though and I liked it.. hip flexibility is getting there for these for sure! Still thinking about getting some single ply briefs to work in but I want to build raw power... i dont want more gear help than I'm already getting from the belt and wraps. Instead of pushing for 585 for 5..i'm going to work on getting 545 for 5. I've changed a few things around too so I can't expect miracles. I'm squatting HIGH bar now to help my elbow.. I'm starting to like it and it forces me to stay upright more to keep the bar from killing my neck. I'm breaking well at my hips and driving it up no problem. My setup on my walkouts is getting stronger and I need to build up more power now wiht this new stance. It will come with time. Just keep pluggin away at it like I did on my road to 500 and I'll be in the money for sure!

front squats

barx10x1
135x10x1
225x10x1
315x3x1
405x1x1

THE THING ABOUT TODAY'S WHOLE SQUATTING SESSION WAS THE GYM IN THE SAME CHAIN OF GYMS I'VE BEEN GOING AT HAS DIFFERENT BARS AT EVERY PLACE I GO! THIS GYM HAS ZERO KNURLING ON THE BAR INSIDE THE ****ING RINGS! IT WAS A SMOOTH BAR ON MY BACK AND FRONT DELTS! KID YOU NOT.. 14" OF SMOOTH BAR RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE! WTF WHO BUYS THOSE?!?!

anyway..no excuses...i'll know better next time.

seated dumbbell curls

40x8x1
60x8x1
80x4x1

hammer curls

35x8x1
55x8x1

Did the knurling wear off or was the bar made that way? I can't imagine trying to hang onto a bar without knurling.

 

[thewicked]

no knurling...slicker than shit out a ducks ass. you can imagine my surprise when I first noticed it..

 

[goob]

OMFG 405lb front squats!!!!!

That's almost 2.5 x better than my best efforts. Holy s*t. Mother of mercy. You must be the strongest dude here.

 

[King Silverback]

I'll just shake my head and go kick a tire or somethin, just rediculous #'s being tossed about like a rag doll, Simply Incredible Brother Wicked!!!

haha not even close.. jason pegg, curt dennis, chris mason from ALN, travis bell, deadlift dave..all those guys are monsters. And you make it sound like you guys aren't putting up good numbers! it's all in perspective man! HAHA It's not so much the weight is heavy vs getting your body used to it.. once your body takes a look at something a few times and you MAKE it work to move it.. it will adapt... it's how i've gotten so strong so fast. It's like deadlifting.. people look at 500lbs and shit their pants..i look at 500lbs as a waste of my time on the way to 700. mind over matter buddy!

 

[thewicked]

I'll just shake my head and go kick a tire or somethin, just rediculous #'s being tossed about like a rag doll, Simply Incredible Brother Wicked!!!

haha thanks man.. i don't think i'll ever be satisfied..but i am allowed to get married via my fiance's big italian family's permission when i bench press 500lbs. All her military brothers feel that if I can put up 500lbs..she's in good hands.

and if i'm 6'1 and 250lbs..all this weight better be more than just show!

 

[nadirmg]

holy. shit.

those numbers are so insanely high...

SOme seriously jacked numbers here, man. you need to get into a real gym. ALso, don't squat wide without briefs. Your hips will thank you when you're my age. Try the Inzer power pants. Then, when you're ready to whore your gear, try the predators.

Walking weight out with a side stance is a bitch. Try to minimize your walkout with two steps. Before we used the monolift, I used to unrack the weight with a wide stance, then left foot back, right foot back, then go time.

If you're having trouble with your elbow, wear elbow sleeves, move your grip out and use a thumbless grip. We have 8 foot squat bars at Lexen. Most bigger guys have trouble keeping their hands inside the collars of a standard 7 foot bar.

Keep up the good work-it's good the see a young guy not afraid to move heavy weight

For not having trained for very long, you've got some incredible numbers.

thanks pete..yeah i'm going thumbless this week to give it a shot. I have to have my hands span the collars due to flexibility and the fact my arms are so long for comfort. I do need to get into a real gym.. the local stuff just isn't working for me. I noticed too that after squatting really wide my hips bug me for a day or two and I'm thinking like you said, a pair of briefs just to help save them..but getting them a size bigger to I get the support without the pop out of the bottom.

the walking hte weight out is the hardest part. I have to walk out.. and step wide left then wide right to get set. I love moving big weight.. my goal this year is to keep my squat consistant and work on my deadlift and my bench. I figured since i'm only 24.. look where i'll be in a year from now..or two years. No reason to be disappointed or rush things. I did the bodybuilding thing for awhile and it just wasn't working for me.. A year ago I coudl only bench 325, pull 585, and squat 315...

i'm benching low 400's now.. pulling close to or right at 700 (we'll see in a few weeks).. and squatting low 600's on a GOOD day.

 

[lucifuge]

This is some sick stuff wicked,
10 years younger than me and about twice as strong.... damn I feel humbled.
great work bro

 

[thewicked]

thanks man! CHalk it up to me being young.. i hope to be where you are in ten years at least! HAHA I'm sure i've got a few injuries and some setbacks left in me before my time is up!
