Powerlifting with a Legend

[insaiyan93]

Now that big brother is over I need a fix for my drama. Great training info along side a dish of drama in this thread? Consider me subscribed!

How old are you franchise? You have some good numbers! I’m 43 recently back in the gym to beat my PRs from 15 years ago. I like how you are explaining each rep vs how much and how many you are doing. I’m learning a lot. I wish I had a spotter. I whole-hearted agree that unracking throws you out of position and it’s best to have a lift off even doing speed work. I am not built for powerlifting. My arms are super long which is an advantage for sumo DL, but when I unrack a bench press, it seems like my elbows are damn near parallel to the bench and I have to push up 6”. I need to work on my bench setup. I’ve always built an arch but never drove through my legs. I am going to work on this. Thanks for bringing it up!

Please add a little info as to how long you are resting in between each set as well as inbetween exercises. I see many guys fucking around for 5 minutes inbetween sets on the platform. This pisses me off when there is a line. Especially when it’s a bunch of guys doing fucking curls. They take all the boxes and use them as nightstands too.

I fuck around for 5 minutes,or as long as i need, between sets depending on how heavy i am going that day.
Me hitting my numbers is more important than some guy waiting to quarter squat 225.

Mind you, i try and go to the gym at times when this isn't an issue, but if it happens it happens. Sorry, not sorry lol

It's a buffalo bar. The bend makes it easier on the elbows and shoulders.

Ahh I see, thanks. Wish my gym had one. However my gym has the cambered one which should be as useful.

Sweet home gym bro! Got to have a seated calf raise machine for sure. At least you have a power rack with pins. It’s as good as a spotter except for lift offs. Negatives don’t do any good.

Me? I wish. That's just the gym I lift at. Only one in my town.

I spoke with coach last night one on one for a good hour to 90 minutes after training. He further explained the use of wrist straps.

He said he knows his guys and knows that the weight they are pulling they can handle it with ease. But he also wants them to be able to get as much volume with that weight as possible which builds Strength. The limiting factor in that type of training would be grip. So the wrist are used through out training and everyone obviously is using double overhand. He said that none of the lifters ever had a grip issue in comp.

Many of the guys use mix grip in comp. In training it's double over hand with straps. He also sometimes he will come in and tell the team it's hook grip day. So everyone has to use hook grip.

What's going to happen when Steve Goggins finds out he has a rep for an UG Steroid Lab on his team? Just curious how he'd react to having his name associated with something like that?

If your response is that he isn't going to find out, you might be right. But, it's not that hard to get in touch with him and you're doing a pretty good job of pissing people off with that mouth of yours... Food for thought I guess.

@Millard Baker I sincerely ask that you shut this log down and delete it please. I'm getting threats shrouded in veil from @Eman here's the quote.
I've highlighted that threat shrouded in veil. I hope this gets handle.

I just got a sponsorship today. I don't need a bunch of haters trying to ruin what I have going on.

@Millard Baker again please close and delete this log.

First of all, and not that you care what I think, but I was really disappointed learning of your decision to become a rep and the subsequent alter ego that took over. But I digress from this dead horse.

Regarding the red text:

There's no one to blame but yourself. You willingly and at times exuberantly provided all the personal private information that could be used against you, whether that be from a member here, LE, or even some random person with a blackmail fetish.

In summation:

1. You are a disappointment (to me)
2. You are a liar
3. There is no haters out to get you
4. You did this to yourself

You should of digressed from opening your poop shoot.

Matters not what I say or do. That is a fucking threat plain and simple. Now I can make a threat right back at him. But I didn't. I posses skill sets that you guys have no clue And I will say this gain. Only people that I care about that I disappoint are my family, wife kids. If I said that there be a hanging at MESO Square. GTFO. All I care about is helping others and provide info that might be useful for them to use in their lifting careers. Gear review, not AAS but gym gear, powerlifting gear reviews You go down the list of things I have done for this community and certain people you have a different mind set.

The true underlying issue here is that this specific log and me being rep is stepping on someones toes. Someone in my opinion is thinking that they are losing money because I train with elites and that people will come in and think that these guys are using gear from the source I rep. Regardless of the matter you and all the others are very salty. Yeah I rep and the ones that brew their own shit and solicit members through pm are the same as me but they get a pass. And I know you know at least two if not more members that do that.

So do we have a double standard here? Because it sure looks like it to me. But this wonderful inside information that most won't get is hopefully getting deleted. Turds like you and the rest of the lynch mod don't deserve to even read the shit in my log. Soon I am hopping it will be deleted. I asked and hopefully will receive.

I didn't bandwagon, join the mob, or even make derogatory comments. All I did was speak my mind. The plain simple truth hurts, I guess.

One last truth bomb I'll lay on you is this: you don't give a fuck about your family - you only care about yourself. If you had any concern for others, like you preach, you wouldn't have exposed all the information that can used to hurt you AND your family.

But you don't see that or anything else; can't see the forest for the trees and certainly are unable to produce any shred of personal responsibility and accountability. Good luck with that attitude.

No need to respond (can your ego be contained?) because I'm not wasting anymore time with you or anything you're affiliated with.

Franny you should have been smarter than this . I don't know why you would have given out so much personal info like you do especially with the shit that has been said and threats you have made . I really hope that no one really takes this internet shit seriously and will try to cause you real problems I know I wouldn't but I also wouldn't make threats to people .

Millard will not, and should not, close this thread. This is nobody's fault but your own. Take responsibility for your actions instead of passing on the buck. You talk about your skill set yada yada yada as if it's a threat or something to be in awe of....well you don't even have the wherewithal to keep yourself and your family safe from not opening your mouth out of spite and bragging. It begs the question, how many times in your career did you beg to be saved from yourself? How many times did others have to fix your messes?

I gave the benefit of the doubt when I stuck up for your right to post in your log. That was for your log and mine, not for any part of the forum you wish. I also hoped you would stay above the bullshit but I see now I was wrong. I'm out, I'm done. I no longer welcome your commentary in my log. Anything you post there will be ignored. You made your bed now lie in it.

 

[Eman]

That is a fucking threat plain and simple.

Quit accusing me of threatening you, it's ridiculous. I don't think you, or anyone else for that matter, believes I had any intent to expose you or threaten you. My point was that you are a sitting duck, you did that to yourself... Not me.

You can blame me and everyone else for the issues you're going through but it's extremely misdirected. You have pointed the finger at everyone but yourself... Might be time to do so.

It's pretty disappointing that your first choice is to close your log over closing your source thread all the while blaming me.

Hate to say "I told ya so"..... Sucks to see people you thought were friends, or had some sort of moral compass, let you down. Franchise is a liar, and that's enough for me. I knew almost right away between the lies and deceit plus the obvious delusions that Franchise was headed down a dangerous path. Now he wants to close this thread, the one he valued so much, and thought provided so much to this community.

Where are his defendants now? The people who fought with him to keep this thread going, are you satisfied that the author now wants it deleted, even though you fought with him to keep it?

Someday the community will learn that a member turned source/rep never ends well, ever. The pieces slowly, or rapidly, start to crumble around them. More and more influential members start to poke holes in their weak foundation... Then CRASH! Another one bites the dust...

I do deserve an "I told you so" on this one. I was holding out hope and putting aside my normally pessimistic nature.

You are a good dude. And yeah I have a special skill set that very few have in this forum.

Now if I receive what is perceived as a threat. Yeah I want to shut this down. I received a sponsorship yesterday. And don't need anyone needing that up because I talk you the fuck are they or anyone else to say what the fuck I can and can't do. I don't want to post in your log brother. You have given some good advice and some bad advice I tried. No fault of your own.

Let's get this one thing clear I don't need you or anyone else. I have all I need in my family. Now you sound like a little highschool you can post in my log. @Docd187123 I know exactly who you are what you do. It's a small world and I was introduced to you through a friend. Keep that in mind buddy.

If would have posted it's not hard to reach someone and tell him someone on his team doing XYZ you do the same thing don't overlook that.

You mentioning is enough. Shouldnt have been mentioned period. If said some shit like that you guys would be all over that like flies on shit.

Let's keep it real.

Told you so what. That I want to close my log? GTFOH. Still haven't solicited a single member.

Here was I think of you and chest. My training with my coach is a bigger name than chest could ever be. Somewhere you or chest support some private lab. So you feel like I'm eating into your shit by keeping a log and being a rep. Just an opinion.

Now as far as you. I could give two shits about you and what you do. You've been here since 2014 that means shit to me. While you were here circle jerking your buddies I was out in Afghan protecting that freedom you have. You are nothing you couldn't touch me with a 30 foot pole as far the accomplishments I've done in my life and career.

I retired at 38 buddy. I put my time multiple deployments. So when you stupid fucks talk of integrity and respect and credibility. My credibility is all the accomplishments and lives I saved while I served. My credibility is I was a leader operator of a team in the army.

You fucks talk of f credibility on the internet. GTFOH. No one here is credible. For all me you can be a fucking pedophile. Punk Ass dude.
