I can now say with 100% certainty that belts are in fact cheating.
Old trap bar pr was 475 and last week, on 2 attempts, I couldn’t crack 495 off the ground. Today I hit 495 on my first attempt followed by 505 on my first attempt.
All records should be scrubbed, belts are “equipped” lifting!
Gold, man, gold. 
I shouted Maaarrtiiins!!! at my screen as he approached the previous best mark for the Conan Wheel.
Not usually a fan boy type of guy, but man Licis has provided me with some serious entertainment via his Youtube channel.
I want to borrow Martins’ hypeman on my next PR attempt, maybe I’ll just play one of his vids and pretend he’s talking to me
I feel bad for Brian. When he missed his last deadlift and fell forward it was like watching a unicorn get run over.
A lot of talk about him needing to retire the last couple years. Been unlucky with injury then goofed on the Hussafel yesterday. Hope it can all come together and he still has some wins left
I confess I don’t want Brian to win another WSM because I want Mariusz’ record to remain.
Wasn’t sure where to put this, but wanted to share.

Fyi for those who don’t follow Uncle Nic or Brian Alsruhe, Miles stared down The Terminator…
Arnold only wanted to invite Miles, but Miles refused to go w/o his guys Nic and Brian. Nice.
And that 185 lb deadlift was “easy” for him, he did double BW in a meet. (not sure exact weight but over 200lbs)
Mate that last rep was from so low I thought it would never go up. Amazing job and looking jacked in that shirt. Just watching this made me want to add Oh press back into my program. Hmmm
Thanks dude. Definitely bring in the press. I would sooner do that than bench.
Up until the last couple of blocks it has always been there. Time to talk to coach and add it in. I’ll add it as an accessory anyway.
Confession: After being on the site for 9 years and almost pulling the trigger dozens of times, I just finally ordered something from Biotest… all because of an Instagram ad.
I lose 2lbs every week. Then I have a good time with my family and gain 4 on Saturday and Sunday
After watching the Arnold coverage… it goes without saying I now have the urge to watch this for the 50th time.
Where do I pick up one of these time travel belts?
Probably a normal belt. Adding the belt was what enabled him to pull fast enough to break the speed of light. Cheat!
Don’t have to break the speed of light to time travel, you just need to hit 88mph !!
We have had two threads in under a week about guys crying about how their physical jobs are having a impact on their gains. I have worked agriculture and blue collar jobs since I was a kid. So I have no real sympathy for them… Especially when they are vague regarding the type of actual work they preform.
But then there would be 2 of him deadlifting on the same podium!
