When you clean and jerk 200 pounds or more, you’ve pretty much informed just about everyone who saw it that you can pick them up and throw them…[/quote]
Lately, I’ve noticed that over head pressing seems to be the lift that’s really impressive. Standing, anyways. Can’t cheat, can’t lie. Especially if it’s from the floor. Nice work.[/quote]
Tony, I wouldn’t screw with you. Tried some judo once and decided I didn’t like being thrown.[/quote]
Please don’t misunderstand me - I would never offer violence to anyone who wasn’t a paedophile or a tax collector. I have no skills in that area whatsoever. I would just have to take punishment until the other person got exhausted, most likely - if I survived that long. I was just imagining what is going on in other peoples’ heads.
I won’t say that I abhor violence, because I’ve not been in a situation where it has been required. It’s an option, I suppose, but it’s pretty far down my list of ones to try in resolving situations.
I wasn’t implying that you have a violent nature. Just that common sense would dictate that we not try to find out
Everyone has skills, they just vary from person to person. And I think that being able to take a beating, until your opponent is too tired to function, qualifies as a skill. I once saw a gent win a UFC-type fight utilizing that exact strategy.

This thought actually occurs to me quite often, because I quantify the weights you guys lift over here with the question “how many kimbas is that?”.
Looks like belt squats, leg press, chest-supported rows and seated presses for me for the next few weeks. Light kettlebell swings for rehab. It’s not as bad as it could have been since I stopped lifting immediately - but I’m going to be walking like a robot for a while.
