That video just leaves me in awe and is one of my favorites. Did you read travis’s stats?
“Travis decided to make a comeback in Olympic lifting at the age of 33, which most Olympic lifting ?experts? say is impossible. Now that is bad-ass. He has elite status in the 198, 220 and 242 pound weight classes. His best lifts include a 970 squat, 705 bench press and an 804 deadlift; all done in the 220lbs class. He made history at the 2004 GNC Show of Strength by totaling 2414.”
He was listed in the training logs at EFS until recently. I’m not sure what happened there.

When you have 3 misses and just keep going, that is some nice determination. Looks like you “dug in” for that.

Good job, damn kg’s though! 
Hey, I posted in this form when it first started but got sidetracked since then. I train powerlifting but its mostly to increase my strength for sport. Probably get more serious into powerlifting once my competitive sport career is over. I probably won’t share every workout but I’ll try to get the majority on here. I really enjoy reading this thread so I figure why not share. I’m six foot six and weigh about 250 pounds right now, yah I know, not your typical powerlifter built lol… anyways…

upper ME June 4th 07
Its official now going from Gimp/Post Op to the COME BACK!!!, slow road but rollin
Was good idea to a few days off just needed the rest whole body was aching. Also trying some new diet stuff ultra high carb days for training LOW carb for non just to mix it up a bit.
1A) OH Fat DB Clean and Press
(Bad Arm OH press Blue band x 8-10 (9 sets) strict and slow) PRESS lock out still tight.
Strict
35 x lot
55 x 8
75 x 5
95 x 3
105 x 4 (1 rep PR) last one LONG lock out
115 x 1
Push press
130 x Miss 5 lb PR attempt
need to warm up on my pushes instead of jumping from strict straight for Push PR attempt
115 x 4
strict/push
85 x 8/5 nice progress
1B) one arm Pull down
bad arm red band pull down x 10 (9 sets) strict and slow
2warm ups
145 x 4 (6 sets)
Bumped it a rep each set
120 x 6 (3 sets)
2A) Cable press (bad arm red band press)
These are kind of like an extreme ROM decline press I lean against a pole to avoid using body weight
70 x 12
100 x 8 (2 sets)
2B) DB Row (bad arm 35 lbs x )
130 x 5
90 x some 2 sets
2C)
Bench reverse crunches
3sets
Light band work on tri?s bis and lat raise call it All in all OK strict press getting stronger
clean with this Fat DB is a killer I assisted it on the 115 and up today.
Dieing to get a barbell or Log in my hands and Press something substantial, have to really PRESS that lock out on bad arm, tendon still tight and have to force it or I will stop short of lock out, its like adding 10 lbs to any press
Phill
Today’s workout:
DE upper
Speed bench
57.5kg/127lbs 8 sets of 3reps
3 board press

112.5kg/247.5lbs 1x6reps
Lat pull downs
35kg 1x10

20kg 1x15

This was the third and final day of a detox,(been eating shit recently so needed to purify myself.lol). That made the pr on the board press all the sweeter as i basically have lived off hardly any calories for the past 2 days. Just been on water and freshly jusiced fruits and vegatables!
Looking forward to getting back to a regular diet, less the junk i was eating before.
Train hard

Legs were a bit shot today after ME Squat yesterday, but I can’t train on Friday, so I ended up pulling today.
I probably haven’t done T-Bar rows since college (early 90’s), so the first few sets were just trying to figure out the right weight. They felt good, but need to get used to the position a little more.
Overall, good day, just wish my legs were a little more rested for the deads.

I agree, except it seems you’ve been making a comeback sense the day after you got injured!
Empire State Qualifier:
Here’s a video of my team, Lost Battalion Hall, at the Empire State Games Qualifier. I appear first on the video with my 75kg PR snatch attempt. I took 60kg and 65kg before that.
Later in the video, after the girl(Jessica Farrera; 5th ranked 69kg female in the country), is my first clean and jerk. I took 90kg. This was a bit tough as I had tweaked my right arm in the warm-up. I then failed to lock out 95kg, also because of the right arm. My last attempt (not filmed), I fucked up the clean.
