Strap up hang 1000 should stretch them out over time... I didn't notice until you mentioned his arms and they almost look exaggerated or photoshopped

Yes but you can’t compete in women’s after you get your dick chopped off

Yeah just joking, would just add bench ROM to lose deadlift ROM.

I don't know, man, I think conventional would be easier than getting my legs to do that lol.
I pulled an easy 545x1 deficit conventional yesterday at about RPE 8. I think I'll be back at 600lbs conventional soon and then beyond to catch up with my sumo.

Yeah, the article said he broke both knees and tore both quads. That's a bad day.
Yes a really bad day indeed.
That's going to be some serious surgery to repair plus some serious recovery/rehab. Doubt he will be able to squat that much anymore and may just be done with powerlifting.

I'm not watching that. I can watch people get their heads cut off but sports injuries make me sick.

Damn at 165 too
I hate equipped lifting. Its a complete exaggeration of a humans abilities. An egotistical and ridiculous exaggeration. I hated when the guys do it and when the women do it

Equipment aside from say belt, sleeves , wraps is so vastly different it’s hard to lump it in with powerlifting. There some equipment guys at the gym I go to. Not to say these guys aren’t strong but the suits add a lot to squat and bench. Huge amount of skill to complete the lift. Knowing their gear seems almost more important than being strong. Mis groove a rep, the bar ends up in their teeth or they fall over. It’s not just the act of sliding on some briefs or a shirt and increase your total by 500 lbs. which I think is fine so long as these guys are honest about it being in a multiply shirt/suit. Matt Wenning and Chad Wesley Smith have an awesome convo about this. They go on to bash some “500 lb benchers” who can’t lift 315 without a shirt. There’s one lift that the gear can’t improve and many times makes more difficult. The deadlift. When I look at an equipped total I always look to the deadlift. If their deadlift is lower than bench they’re just good at using their equipment and may not total 60% of that multiply going raw.

It's like putting on a suit of pre contracted muscle. It doesn't make any sense how that is a measure of ability
