I have my own Texas bar I train with. It's usually my fingers that bleed, like around the middle knuckles. My shins and knees stay bloody.

Yea my shins get busted up regularly.

Holy shit. At 242?? That’s insane.

Any of you newer guys to powerlifting interested in one of those "race to" whatever number threads? Like a 495lb deadlift or 315lb bench or 405lb squat? Adds a little friendly competition. We had a lot of fun with them a few years ago.

Sounds like fun!!

What do you think would better? Like 405/315/495 squat/bench/deadlift race? Or individual ones? It's fun when there's a few people at about the same place. A few years ago there were a bunch of us all pretty close on strength. It's very motivating.

I may be down, I honestly do not max though but if I am close enough to where you guys are I may be up for it.

I do not own wraps

 

[jJjburton]

I do not own wraps

But will be doing any raw lifting

How about just 600lbs squat? I guess wraps would have to be specified.

 

[Perrin Aybara]

Or 500lb front squat would be interesting.

Maybe individual ones, although the three together could be fun as well

I'm a ways away from that lol I can maybe front squat 275 lol

I think all three but can be done at seperate times. Like first to hit the DL mark. But not all three at once.

That wohld be a long term competition. There can be short term comps and long term comps.

Me too thats why its hard!

Probably the best idea. I guess we'll get more input later when others are on and then start the threads tonight or tomorrow.

 

[jJjburton]

For me i can raw 400 lbs for 3-5 DL i have never tried to go heavier.

 

[jJjburton]
