How do you reach his head with a good punch?

Listen to Eddie at the end
"A fight with Thir is in the works, both sides are talking about how to make it happened"

This beef was a set up.

And I'm perfectly okay with it.

PL and Strongman dint make close to enough money for the pain and destruction they put themselves through.

I'm cool with spending money on any PL or SM athlete

Target the body, punch his arms,shoulders, chest. The arms come down and so does the head

Yup, it’s too scripted. I saw Eddie training boxing with a UK pro in a video a few weeks ago. It was no coincidence

Pioneer Fitness made these belts for for best lifter prizes at the USPA drug tested nationals. Pretty sweet prize. The two meets I won best lifter all I got was a shirt and a sword lol.

 

[Worf]

A fucking sword is awesome.

pioneer is doing a meet in their home town in July. I might go to support a friend. I wonder what the prizes will be there.

More interesting than the standard medals we normally get.

500 for 5 by a 160lb'er with no straps. WTF!

Amanda Lawrence posted some black lives matter shit today making this girl my new favorite powerlifter. It was Daniella, but she's been slacking.

 

[Worf]

Yea she’s unreal and smoking hot to top it off

I deadlifted 405 for 4 moderately difficult reps with nice form, all 4 went up really nice and were explosive as fuck.

What would be a realistic weight to try next for 2 reps?

on 6/26 I did 365 for 5
7/3 only did 315 for 6 (felt heavy, wasn’t very strong)
Then today 7/11 got the 405 for 4

For the powerlifters and strength guys how long between do you go for new prs?

I know how to get round as fuck but I want to start working on squat bench and deadlift and am a complete newb when it comes to that

425ish seems reasonable.

You're can probably hit peak sets and progress for awhile. Like your peak 4, then next week try more weight for a peak 4. If that stalls mix it up and go for peak 3's or 5's or even 8's or 2's. Eventually you'll need more volume. Like hit your peak 4, reduce weight by say 10-15% and do a couple back off sets. Further down the road it gets more complicated. Deadlift is tricky with volume and progression as you get more advanced.

As far as going for actual 1RM PRs it's usually once or twice a year for me. I hit 700x1 in late 2019, hit 675x1 in late 2018 and 650x1 in mid 2018, no deadlift PRs at all in 2017. Due to injury setbacks I don't expect to hit any PRs this year either unfortunately.

For starting out rep PRs weekly as long as you can should be the goal. Maybe try for an actual 1RM about every three months. Maxing is mostly a waste of a training session you could be improving. Rep PRs in the 2-5 range are a solid way to gauge progress. Even the same weight and reps at a lower RPE is still progress.

I try for a 1RM every 3ish months.
I'll throw in some 5 rep maxes in there if I'm feeling good on a heavy day.
If not, I stick to around 75% max
Have made some great progress from it.

Thanks a lot, at the end of the day I’m a bodybuilder but watching Ben Pollack has me wanting to pull some more

@Mac11wildcat and @test>tren both pull big numbers. I don't see why you couldn't do bodybuilding and still deadlift big weight.

Yeah I just meant I’ve never had a number goal in mind until recently I thought “hmm, I think I wanna be able to deadlift 6 plates for a good amount of reps” lol

Most old school body builders hammered the compound stuff and some still do. Franco, Ferrigno, Arnold, Yates, Ronnie all threw around pretty heavy shit on various lifts. Even more recently guys like Branch Warren, Johnny Jackson and all those guys at a metro Flex in Dallas are killing it on heavy Squats,Bench, and dead’s along with plenty of variations depending on their physique goals.

We have some race to "x" amount deadlift (squat and bench too) threads if you like some friendly competition.

Daniel Bell with another very impressive Raw w/ wraps total

 

[Perrin Aybara]

A casual 1000+ deadlift.

That counts just as much as Bjornsson's recent "world record"

Yeah, it's just a gym lift with straps. But imagine being at a level where you could just walk in the gym and do that on a random day.
