I dominated 300 farmers, then set a PR on the 925 tire flip for 10, then did a couple series of stones of 260/280/310/330 and capped off the last series a minute later with a 370 stone. I got called out and felt good so I stepped up.
Matgic, I’m almost 25, turn next month. It’s great having Kevin to train with, he is very motivating and trying to catch up to his freaky level of strength is fun.
ZEB, I’m not quite at Cardoza’s insane strongman ability yet, but give me a year and I think I will be right there. I’ve done a 605 deadlift but feel I was good for 625-635 because the 605 came up extremely fast.

How much do you Row. And do you T-Bar row?[/quote]
I don’t do barbell rows. I know that T-bar row devices can vary greatly, but the one I use I will do sets of 5-8 with four 45’s.
Dumbbell rows I can go up to 150’s for sets of 10, that’s the heaviest they have at my gym. These are done with a little cheat, but not much. When I do them super strict I only feel my biceps working.

What a pud!
Thanks for the motivation. Impressive.
I was going to call brokeback on the chest bump, but after seeing Matgic’s post and realizing it was indeed Nee (just dont expect to see that then I will allow the chest bump.

Exactly, and when you get to that big of a stone (21" diameter) and it’s a max effort, picture perfect spine isn’t possible. I think it was a little more rounded than usual, but I’m not too worried about it.

It’s a 52" platform. The 48" is two boxes down. The other three guys that loaded it that day did it to the 44", although Breck cleared it by a good 4".
I think I could do a 400 to a 48", just need to get one made with my new mold.
