P.S. CBear in chains is very hot. I’m shocked that the SAMA guys aren’t all in here gawking.
I’m surprised, too.
gawking doesn’t equal posting. I’m ok with that.

I know. I figure i’d play on the fact that i’m considered a SAMA guy and just post a response…you know…like I was a gawker. It was an attempt at being funny. I suck:(

U keep running in and out of here. Silly tiger. Pull up a seat! Chrys is a great bartender, and there’s chains floating around. What could go wrong?
We just got a 5 guys here recently but I haven’t been to it yet.

You started the thread on FA!!
Now I remember. And the training camp.
Thanks for the wakeup call about the vibrams. How’d the camp go? [/quote]

the fitness summit was pretty cool. kinda wish T-Nation would do something like it. i got to meet and hang out with Lou Schuler. even go into some conversations with him about how he likes working at t-muscle now. he’s a really cool guy.
also, nice work with the chains pimp

Hey, with both you and Kimbakimba giving me invites, how can I refuse?
I’ll bring the Tequila and the steaks.

I can’t let hungry be the only one to post in here. I would consider myself a SAMA dood.
CBear you lookin’ good, and how lucky are those chains?

I just watched the video again and realized im reflecting light. Kinda cool. Lights go out, no emergency, use cbears pale ass as a lantern!![/quote]
Don’t feel bad…I reflect light too!! If I start tanning, I’m trying to imagine what is worse- getting skin cancer or being whiter then your tank top.
ok. time for a cbear story.
(irl, you need a carpet square and a juice cup for my stories. they’re long, and sometimes i forget why i started telling them.)
Today was week 2 day number last of my 5/3/1. (kinda. it was sposed to be sunday, but with school and travel i missed my workout opportunities on thurs and fri) which in my world, means squats for triples.
I trained with Jim today before i left (lucky me!! no sarcasm!), and he suggested I do cambered bar squats, bc i dont have that opportunity at my hillbilly gym. After several warmup sets he informs me that the bar weighs 80lbs. After some quick math (imw, quick math involves stones, an abacus, and someone looking over my shoulder. if im not at work and it’s not money i don’t care enough), i realized i had just done 170 for 3. Felt… RATHER EASY, i’m pleased to say.
so a few sets later he says i’m gonna do a single. mkay. i trusts him. more quick math says there’s now 230 on the bar. like whoa. wtf. I started this whole thing with the lower body strength of a 12year old. I could bench 135 before I could squat it.
and I got it. Forgot to bring MY camera, though, so Jim’s roomie taped it with Jim’s iPhone. Now it’s up to Jim to post it for me.
but first, the criticisms (bc i don’t give a shit about the compliments, I did it and that’s all that matters there):
i need to use my core strength more, to keep myself from “free falling” on the way down. there’s a possibility that someday I would free fall and end up squishing on the floor, rather than being able to pull myself up outta the hole.
using a cambered bar is much easier than a straight bar for some people, much more difficult for others. I see now which one I am, but I am not to try that much weight without a real spotter (rare at my gym. most of the spotters round here just kinda… watch… sorta.) for at least a little while longer.
so that was a 25lb pr for me, even tho the bars are different. Im the strongest person in the world rite now.
k. now i sit back and wait for the video.
Joegood–> yes! with pics!! your mouth and tummy will be very happy!
print–> wtf u been?
tootles–> when I saw the video I realized HOW pale I am. I figured that not being out much this summer ensured a state of near-albinism, but the video really put it in perspective. - YouTube
GTFO!!! You have a “journal”. (I say that in the least pussified way!
Ima gonna pull up a chain and watch the show! Love the vids btw.
I vote 12% myself, but I agree that holding it would give us better perspective. Just remember though, if they see were you put your foot, they are gonna wanna see where you pee from…just sayin’.
230?!?! Man, oh man. You kicked some serious ass right there. I want video too! So that I can cheer (in a non-pussified way).
Apparently you and your guy don’t live in the same place? That sucks.
Lower body strength of a 12 y.o, my ass…!!!
I dropped my juice cup n peed on the carpet, I can’t tell the difference.
Good job, Hercules!!

I’ve been working on that “self restraint” thing Jim keeps talking so much about, and I refrained from taking off my shoe in the restaurant and putting it on the table with our food.
pats self on back

no, we live 250 miles apart. I picked him out from molly’s lifting videos, discussed the idea with her, then we informed Jim he had to meet me.
lol @ “click to add to cart” jokes.
works out pretty well, actually. we’d never get anything done if we lived closer/together. I hafta finish school up here, and that will give him a few years to get used to me.
assuming, of course, that it’s possible.

pee smells like cherrios.
^^^^
You can FF to 2:50, but i enjoy the whole thing.
ok jim sent it to my phone and I’m a lil technology retarded (among other categories), so I’m crossing my fingers it uploads.
i wanna try a cambered bar i am MOST jealous 
personally i’d think that would make it hard to squat just it being so foreing and unfamilar. good job!
