Hi, My first post here on T Nation. Been lurking, but I’ve got a question. I’ve been going to this Gym for about two months now. Place has a kinda of old school feel to it. Equipment is old, as are some of the members. Anyway, I’ve been trying to go as hard as I can with as much intensity as I can …

Think this guy is about the same age or a few years younger.

Kinda off topic. I clicked your profile, and saw your John Meadows post from a years back. That was a pretty in-depth analysis and well written. When I started lifting I found his Youtube channel and have already learned a lot about execution of lifts, contractions, negatives and tons of stuff. Seem…

Thank you. It turns out my then physiatrist got things wrong and that my disc herniation was so minor that it presses on no nerves at all. I found this out when I got so frustrated that I saw a surgeon to get to the bottom of it. It turns out my neuropathy is idiopathic. I went to a neurologist wh…

I think most men come to a point in which we’re not uncomfortable speaking to strangers, no matter what personal quirks we have.

[image] In_Crom_We_Trust: He looks like he goes hard every work out. So yea, guess I’m looking for a training partner with similar intensity. Thing is, he looks a bit more advanced, and his lifts are several hundred pounds beyond where I’m at right now. Like I said, I have athletic experience, b…

[image] strongmangoals: touch his butt. I second this. But I prefer to add a nice wink and smile to the butt touching.

When I was getting into strongman, there was this huge dude at my gym - he looked like a giant angry biker dude. I saw him doing atlas stones and asked for some pointers. The guy literally spent about an hour coaching me on proper technique. I hit a 220 stone, and before leaving he gave me his tack…
