Well

The blame is mostly on gregron but you all share in it.

You all could’ve just chilled and let swollen say his stuff and roll on. All of you escalated this shit. Lol

Don’t be sad now[/quote]

Not as much as he used to, but I’m sure he has some alternate accounts going. Usually when he’d be the the first responder in a thread, I’d consider him as the thread starter, depending on how the question and reply were worded.

Something tells me it is swolle here that wants 6 months to work on his front squat lol. [/quote]

[quote]hungry4more wrote:

Lol @ 4-6 inches deeper for more reps. And at him “delaying”…wasn’t the challenge issued yesterday or the day before? So where is YOUR video then? Rest assured, meat will have a vid up of him repping 405 soon. How about you?[/quote]

Lol x2 @ 4-6 inches deeper. I look forward to meat continuing to post on this site.[/quote]

[quote]mlekava000 wrote:
Well, he needs to wait on meat so that he has a number in mind, and then proceed to dig up the most obscure video on the interwebz of someone repping 1 more rep than that and posting it here as his own.

DUH![/quote]

Swolle seems real confident right now, kinda suspicious to me lol… How do we know he is even using “real” 45 pound plates? Couldn’t he easily do what Andy Hammond did on his 600 pound bench video.

[quote]ryno76 wrote:
Post your video today or you are just a shit talker. Meat called you out and you have stalled for days now trying to turn it back on him. You were called out, post your max reps for 405.[/quote]

I like some of these posters. Being said, I thought these quotes were really funny in hindsight. Some poeple acting like swolle is just trollin and isn’t an accomplished lifter…[/quote]
I never doubted Swolle as a lifter. No excuse for childish name calling. I can’t understand why Meat played his game.

188

this is all going to snowball out of control. Soon the only poster left on T-Nation’ll be the strongest front squatter.

what have we done

Holy shit that was impressive. Regardless of prior comments, I don’t know how you can’t respect the hell out of the effort here.

Politics and World Issues. Or Powerful Women.

193

He won’t go to Powerful Women. He will get outlifted by the gurls. Srs.

Wow swolle said he was sorry… is that what makes someone a man these days?

He acted like a fucking child and started talking shit to one of the best posters on the site for a minor disagreement.

We’re applauding him for doing something any semi-decent person should have felt obligated to do. Pathetic.

It certainly doesn’t hurt. Neither does this:

Being strong doesn’t make a man.

It just makes him a strong child.

Didn’t even bother to open thread as guessed it could not be any more run of the mill.

Heard MM had left, looked for reasons why.

Found GREATEST THREAD OF ALL TIME.

This thread is like Ali vs Frazier!!

I would be interested in seeing any threads which have ever come close to this - Ali trash talks, blue collar Frazier gets mad, both slug it out, one guy nearly goes blind, Ali apologies says it was all just to sell tickets. Too late - MM is gone. FOREVER.

Seriously - very sad to see MM and SteelyD (and Swolle?) leave due to this, but this thread is GOAT. If anyone posts a link to a GOAT-ier thread I WILL LEAVE AND NEVER POST HERE AGAIN.

FOREVER.

Snatch grip is the best to hold the bar imo but it murders my wrists. Arms crossed holding the bar works decently, but don’t expect to put up quite as much weight because you don’t quite get the same stability.

[/quote]

i use a grip closer to my collar bones like if you did a power clean instead of a snatch. hurts the wrists less and lets your wrists get stronger too. the pain stop after a few weeks. i throw the shotput and we use this grip to help the wrist for the last portion of the throwing of the shotput where you need to snap your wrist. give it a try.
