My second comp ever was in Boston, the heavies had 275 per hand for Farmer’s. It was brutal, but then you get used to it and it isn’t brutal anymore. The problem with competing in openly untested sport as a natty is keeping up sometimes, LOL. Contest weight can get ridiculous.
Your have some impressive numbers for sure HA!!!

Just pulling your leg Mac. We do have a full basement but a bunch of space is taken up by a pool table we don’t use. It may have to disappear one of these days.

- 17’’ box front squat: barx10 95x6 135x6 185x6 230x6x6
- Superset bike sprint + powertec squats x 4 sets
- BW calf raise x several sets
I set the bike on the highest setting and sprinted for 20 or 30 seconds then jumped over to the powertec with 1 plate per side + white bands x 10 reps. Feel the burn!!!
Unless you start stone/sand bag loading on that pool table?..ditch it man!

Toys you can use a lot of ways are way more fun than toys you can use only one way.
Pool tables…meh. Unless it’s a munnymaker, you hustler.

My wife went to a work Christmas party last night at one of her coworkers house. The woman’s husband has a 200 lb canvas bag full of small stones. I tried several times to shoulder it but only got it to my chest. Pissed me off so I’ve ordered 2 of the bags from amazon. I’ll throw that bag over my shoulder next year.

Gravel huh? Probably more like 2 weeks. Watch Steve Slater moving Rogue sandbags on youtube.
I’d blame your attempt on a party atmosphere mindset.

Technique is everything. Magnus Ver Magnussen won WSM so many times because he’s a tactician and expert on technique, not because he was stronger than Riku Kiri or Gerrit Badenhorst.

Thank you Mac for giving an out for not lifting the sandbag.
HA, the canvas bags are supposed to arrive tomorrow. I’m hoping to build a 150 lb bag and 200 lb bag this weekend. Get them over my shoulder very soon.

I had some parts hanging around so I made this duck walk bar. One of the 10 lb plates got stuck so I had to stop at 230 lbs. I’ll get that plate off this weekend.

Canvas bags still not here. Amazon has never been late for anything else I’ve ordered. Sandbags will have to wait.

Bought my son a pair of 100 and a pair 75 lb dbs for Christmas. Hiding them in the garage. I’m feeling slightly guilty because I bought them as much for me as I did for him.
