Check how bad the grade is in the garage. If it slants too much, you may not have much of a choice.

I met yogi a few years back. He stayed in the same city as me at the time and I met him at his work after connecting on the basis of his solid posts on here
Guy was super jacked beyond belief and gave me some great advice re a t cycle

heās very impressive. He has a good shot at winning, or at least making the podium, at the Arnold next year. He was supposed to compete this year, but the world was on fire at the time, and he opted not to.

itās normal for 1 friend I have. He has to have a back spotter. He regularly passes out on deadlifts over 90% of his max, and so he has to have someone behind him when he deadlifts so he doesnāt hit his head if/when this happensā¦ Not kidding.
He actually used to post on here, it was Reed.

I remember that dude being an absolute beast when I first joined this site, as well as being a good guy, and willing to offer his advice. Good to hear heās still killing it.
Good dude. He was the same weight as me and a foot shorter. I think thatās what they call an absolute unit.

I was helping out at a Strongman show where we had a max deadlift. Once the weight got heavy, one of the guys says to me as he is stepping up to the bar ācan you spot me?ā. I thought it was a bit weird so but I stood behind him , perhaps three steps back.
As he sets up, his friend rushes over and tells me thay this guy passes out and I need to get right behind him. I thought I was being trolled but sure enough, put it down and lights out.
I also helped out in a squat for max reps, I was the back spotter. One guy got 405 for over 10 reps and farted on about 8 of themā¦ never again.

I remember Reed, he was totally jacked. His wife began competing too if memory serves.
And Iāll add my name to the Yogi fan club. This is the second time the dude ghosted on us. The first time, his user name was RDS63799 or Stinger or something like that.
I was hoping someone would use the phrase āabsolute unit.ā Like ādrop trowā, it never fails to crack me up.

yes she did. Not sure if sheās still lifting.
Heās leaned out a ton, Iām sure his weight is way down from the last time he posted on here, but he looks much better.
Injuries have hit him hard in the last couple years. He pushed hard for some really big numbers, and it took its toll. But heās still lifting.

I confess that I ignored my own two Golden Rules Of Forums:
Arguing on the internet is like running in the special Olympics - even if you win, youāre still retarded
And:
Never argue with stupid people - they will drag you down to their level, and then beat you with experience
If anyone sees me go anywhere near the Fake Pandemic thread again, please remind me of this.

I used to post a lot in PWI - then I realized every single discussion devolves into a semantic argument. Not worth it. There are some quality discussions in which Iāll participate, but for the most part, those divisive topics, not worth it. People talking past each other looking to score āgotchaā points ā¦ Not my idea of a good time

This is golden. Iāve taken a liking to the term ādick measuring contest among eunuchs.ā But, the sentiment is the exact same. Arguing to prove oneself right, not to find what is right. And holy semantics.
Iāve always wanted a little aquarium, the missus has never liked the idea. Sort of manipulated the 7.yo to ask for a gold fish for her birthday. Boom!

Whoever decided beta fish were ābetaā definitely didnāt own one. Those suckers are vicious and live longer than most small rodents
