Perverse Hypers??
Funny video. Good to see people that have fun training.
you guys are too funny 
I watched a deadlift vid a while back and the guy was saying to keep the feet relatively forward. Ever since I started doing that my deads have felt weak. Your feet are pretty much angled outwards. I must remember that at my next session.
Nobody can say you don’t have fun training.
VIDEO QUEEN over here! That snatch one looks pretty cool.
Ummm you two and your foreplay …

We’ve played around with figuring out how to do a lot of stuff at home with bands and whatnot. Those type of fails are what usually happen during the creative process. Too bad I didn’t video the time BB tried bar roll outs with bands.
Doing the Reverse hypers against the bands worked well though. It took a lot of hair off BB’s legs but he’ll be fine.

I was afraid that that might happen. We need to design a foot hanger.
Nice job at the meet. Did you have fun? There was quite a bit going on. I wish I were able to get down.[/quote]
Thanks. Numbers were nothing special (and obviously raw), but it was fun to get back on the platform after a year. Also, for the first time ever I went 9/9!
I’ve also made a decision. I’m quitting my job to become a full time powerlifting coach. I think the money from endorsements alone should set me up for life! I made the decision after I realized that with very little effort I have now coached an IPF World Champion (BB got the gold in Bench right?) and over the week-end I added 3 Provincial records and a national record to my coaching resume!!!

That is totally where the big cash is. Who were you coaching? That will make a big difference. If it’s homely old men, there isn’t much money. Cute young girls that have marketability are a horse of a different colour.
I’m glad you had a good time. I bet it’s a bit less stressful not worrying about all the gear. I’ve just heard a couple of people complain that is was a long day. I think they’re whiners.
Classic is really beginning to take off and there’s been a lot of back and forth lately about the logistics of meets with Classic and equipped. This year’s AGM promises to be super fun.
Who was reffing? Was if Chris F. and Maggie R.? They both wrote their tests in August.

I’d have to be careful coaching the young, marketable girls. It usually leads to scandal, divorce and me lossing have of my endorsement contracts!!!
Not sure if you know him or not, but I was helping Steve Spilak. He was competing in both the Bench Championship and the 3-lift open. By then und of the day he went 6/6 on his benches, 4 at or above 190kgs (83kg class) and all were bench only or open records for Ontario. He was excited to say the least. Downside was he went 1/3 on his squats and ended up just missing his class 1.
I will say it was a long day, but not really due to the classic. I think it had more to do with the bench only first. Bench only weigh-ins started at 7:30am, 3-lift weigh in at 9, then 3 lift lifting at 11:30 due to the bench going too long. I left at 5:30pm and the last flight was just starting deadlifts.
As for the classic, definitely less stressful, but I’ll take gear anyday!..I’m just too fat for mine (Nov.2010- 74.9kg; Nov 2011 86.7kgs).
And yes, Chris F. was reffing. Did a pretty good job I’d say… a little on the red light side. haha

Funny he should ask. I was going to buy a plane ticket the other day, but they said I had to buy two! So now I’m saving up.

Yeah, but I have kids so there’s no escaping it. I find all the shopping and visits to the mall highly stressful. We do a family draw on my side of the family and I got my nephew who wants a gas station gift certificate. I can deal with that. I wish they were all so easy.

On those box pulls are you turnhing your feet out as much as you do when you sumo DL?

I think they are about the same. I’m really trying to focus on driving up with my hips rather than pulling up with my back and I can do that a bit better with my feet turned our.
Regardless, my back was smoked after doing those. Just staying upright is quite the strain on your core. I even feel it in my abs today.
I’ve never done box pulls. they look like a great way to help trouble spots on dl’s…man…do you have any suggestions of wt’s to use to start with? compared to max etc?
big pulls off boxes- how high where they?
Front squats after pulling is so torturous
are you using straps on your front squats?
and can I say I like your bangs
