They won't let me in on this!
I even said SL should put it up in the bookie section.
I guess they are afraid of the old guy.....

Well the idea was just for me and gladiator to do a fun challenge. If you want to get in the challenge though we will add a 10 mile run in, and it must be videoed

the bookie section is a good idea, when jdid is ready for a contest against me then we could put that one up in there...

10 mile run????!!!! WTF?
I'll tell you what, I'll go 80 feet with an 800 lb yoke instead.
And I think B Fold would be a good addition to this. He would kick my ass, but it would be fun.
Joe: I think my best total was around 1850 raw. But that was when I was a young man.
This past weekend I did just pull 455 for 9 in a strongman comp in 60 seconds. No touch and go - full stop, reset and pull. I think I had about 5 or 6 more in me if I had the time and it wasn't the second to last event.

Lol I was just kidding about the 10 mile run. I knew it would disuade you a little though
Just curious but with that 1850 total, what was your:Squat
bench
deadlift
I am mainly curious about the bench because I thought I remember you saying that your bench was your weakest point? But yeah I think more competitions on here would be a great idea, I want to see:
Jdid vs em
bblazer vs bfold
oso vs me(once he stops his stupid cutting diet lol)
And everyone could do:
fastest time to 100 reps bodyweight deadlift
Push and pull comp: heaviest weight for 20 reps on deadlift and bench
etc.......there are a million different fun comps we could do...and put some of them in the bookie section. Videos are a must too.
BTW, nice new avatar bblazer! I still think your last one was the coolest I have seen though.

I honestly don't remember the exact numbers, and the total could be off by 75 lbs either way. If I had to guess the squat was 690ish, dead 745ish and the bench 400ish. But like I said, that was in my youth and a few surgeries ago.
And now that I think about it, I think those numbers were equipped, not raw.
I was always a terrible bencher. I never gave it the attention it needed because I looked at it as a lift without any purpose. I have always been into (at some degree or another) functional strength, and the bench really does not have any basis in functional strength unless you are an offensive lineman, and then only maybe.
My best lifts have always been deadlifts. Then squats, then forms of the OHP. The way I look at it your body was designed to pick heavy stuff up off the ground and then do something with it. The dead, squat and OHP accomplish that.
A few years ago now I converted to a strongman workout. It just made more sense for me. I compete for fun now, and I really don't care where I place. I just go out, do my best, and go home. Sometimes I do well, sometimes I suck. I just make sure not to embarrass myself.
The other day I was at my neighbor's house where he was struggling with rigging something to put his boat back on the trailer properly. When he put it on at the ramp, he got it on all tilted and sideways. He is about a 35 year old tri athlete - and a good one. He's always giving me grief about the kind of workouts I do. I just walked over, put my shoulder under the motor, stood the stern up and slid it into position. That is the kind of strength that is important to me now.

Yeah functional strength is the best kind. Do you do any grip work? I think that is very important for functional strength. I think the most functional lifts are deads, ohp, and pullups, depending on what you are doing. I agree that squats are very functional, but I have always liked those other lifts more. So are you going to start some sort of challenge?

Well, I already have the 6000 lb challenge posted in the stickies in this forum. As for others, yea, I'm up for it.
I do, do grip work. Not crushers though. IMHO they are only good for closing crushers. I do things like pinching 2 45s together and holding them off the ground for time, farmers walk, frame carry, anvil carry, and rolling thunder.
