I'm not there yet! But soon, soon. I'm drug free and I'm looking at schedules for 100% raw meetings, I just don't know if the timing will be right early to mid next year. I might not post here often, but I do draw alot of inspiration from this place. Also my squat fucking suuuuucks.
What's close because when I add mine up (550DL, 450 Squat, 340ish BP) I'm only at 1340 and while that may seem close to many inexperienced lifters it is in fact a freaking long ways off in actuality.
Damn, I just want to hit 1,000 one day. I've actually not been keeping track:
I'm a tiny bit higher than you but not by much. I shouldve reephrased what I said. With the gains I've made in the last six months I estimate that I'll be at or around 1500 by mid next year (very optimistic) . That might not be realistic but damnit I'm gonna push it.i still want to compete if I don't hit that number but mentally I want to get there. All I do is lift, work, eat, and sleep. Not even with someone. I want to get there damnit.
I hear ya. I was at 1425 when I was bulking this past winter but I was definitely hitting a plateau torwards the end. I'm not trying to discourage you at all but just know the higher you get the harder you will be fighting for every 10 pound increase. Go get it man! Achieving 1,500 is a huge accomplishment and worth being proud of.
Thank you dude. Seriously. You and Brolic are so inspirational to me. All of you mean more to me than you know. You push me everyday to be a better lifter and a better person.
Damn, I just want to hit 1,000 one day. I've actually not been keeping track:
Squat 260 (estimate)
Bench 240
Dead 315 (estimate)
815
That's cute that you pretend you don't know.
All i remember is Sunday sometime. I'm not posting a damn thing until others do lol.
Expect mine sometime around 12:30pst. That will be right after my shoulder pump and my 72 hour fast/48 dehydration.
Hah, ya. Where I grew up football was serious business. Started in the weight room when I was 8 or 9. Jr High and High School football programs had all players in the weight room for a class period called "sports development".
You were lifting weights at 8 or nine? I'm not sure that is a good idea but I don't proclaim to be an expert on this stuff. I have always heard puberty is when weight training can begin. Hmm
wow, just caught the video. That's insane.
Wait, how was this squat NOT low enough for the judges?!:
Every single time I lift.
Yeah, the pre-teen stuff was all machine work, probably still not the best for me. I didn't start on barbells and dumbbells until I was a teen.
Post here with what you've completed/accomplished after every workout next week. Always helps to have an audience of sorts.
It happens. Just don't let missing stuff get to you and compound things. Jump back on that wagon and pull some weight.
