[Bald Gorilla]

Thanks guys. I am pretty happy about that.

I am doing a deadlift comp. tonight. Hoping to pull 650lbs...

great numbers man. i have been powerlifting now for 4 months. i weigh around 220 and numbers are not the best. but i guess not to bad for a beginner.
raw bench : 360
with shirt: 450 but i got that easy(rage x by inzer)

squat my worst lift: around 550 raw

dl: 510 raw

Damn, you're powerlifting in Iraq? Being in that heat every day could zap 5-10% of your strength easily, maybe even more. You'll probably lift a lot heavier when you come home. And be careful over there to make sure that you do come home safe.

Brow that is a fucking large lift brow.
Be safe man, wish you a safe trip home to u and your unit.

good luck tonight & props on your bench PR.. 500 is pretty hardcore

 

[Bald Gorilla]

Well I pulled 620. Tried 650 but it was pretty friggin heavy so I just let some air get under the plates for a couple of seconds...

For some reason, when I hit a new PR, it no longer sounds heavy...

TDAN 8, THANKS. if you are raw 360 and 450 in a Rage X, then I am getting a friggin Rage X. I only get about 50lbs carry over in my blast. Your number look good, keep at it.

PLIFTER, yeah, try working out in a gym that is 100+ degrees. I am a sweaty mofo, too.

ERIKB, thanks, bro. I'm home in OCT and going to grad school...

MsBEVERLY, Thanks pretty lady.

rage x is awesome. the thing is it went up pretty easy. i couldn't get 420 to even touch. 450 was the first thing to touch. (double ply).

Good for you.

sick lift bro, 500 is HALF A grand. lol so when people ask u how much u bench, tell em, "half a grand" it just sounds cooler lol

 

[brbb]

I prefer a quarter ton, it just sounds heavier. So when people ask what I squat, I tell them 1/4 ton. That is a sick bench though. Congratulations!
