HAHAHA! CT CRUNCH FOR MAX is what you need!
Andrew palmer used to put “Chipotle for max” in his training, made me laugh everytime!
Looks like a lot of static work, that has been what I have been up to as well.

Yeah its most competitive weight for me but didn’t have anything to keep me there but that whole strongman fitness thing and the Arnold comp seems like what I need to do.
I was like 185 but kinda fat, little did I know you shouldn’t do a pro/am for your first show. Well I guess it worked for you haha.
I came up to the Apple comp in 08 to do 175s but fucked up my thumb the week before I did the apple in 10 at 175 and Benji beat me than did Nats that year at 175 but I am a whole lot better now
