I am going to tell you how to become a good Olympic weightlifter. I am going to tell you how to make The Pan Am games in two years. I am going to tell you how to be number one in two years, and break records in two years. I am going to give you the secret free of charge. Grab a pen and paper and write this down, you wont need a lot of paper, mostly just guts, balls, and a lot of determination.
The weightlifting program goes like this, snatch, clean and jerk squat maximum every day. But you don’t want to talk about that, you want to talk about double knee bend, breathing techniques, grip width, percentages, and light days. What is a light day? Please someone help me with this! Why even come into the gym, stay home and watch TV while me and my California strength soldiers lift more than your max daily. A light day to me is a sign of weakness. If you have to run from a bear, you’re not going to tell that bear that you need some time to stretch and only run 85%, you are going to run maximum every time. -Donnie Shankle. Do you think that California Strength put three of our athletes on the Pan Am team by going light? Do you think I win by training light, haha if you do then you’re not winning. I am numb to these weights, these kilos I kill. This is what going heavy everyday makes you, numb. I don’t care what’s on the bar anymore, I just lift it. I love pulling on heavy bars. I hate pulling on light bars, whats the point its light. Training like this turns me into a machine, I can go hard anytime, anywhere. I want to point out something I get asked a lot, and that is how do you train your body for such heavy loads all the time? How long does the progression stage take? The answer is I don’t have an answer, just do it and stop talking. I use the giant chip on my shoulder, and the hunger to be the best, whats yours? you can bleat like sheep, or be the Sheppard. -Donnie Shankle

This is the olympic lifting forum. Barbell curl numbers are irrelevant here.
And even if they were relevant here, they’d only count if they were one-arm barbell curls while done standing on a bosu ball on one leg (the opposite leg from the arm performing the curl, to be exact) while wearing a dunce hat.

I disagree. I believe wholeheartedly that my cheat curl has directly increased my snatch.
Does a hare run 80% away from the fox? Do you want to be LUNCH?
Does a dustbin man take it easy and only do 80% of his garbage collecting because he’s f0cking tired one day or wants to go lunch? Does he WANT HIS JOB? Do YOU want to be the dustbin man?
