My Weekend at Westside and Nazareth Barbell (VIDEOS ADDED)

Very nice. Thank you for the photo

Geez Spatts now you make me feel like I haven't been working hard at all. I haven't popped an eye in about two years. Right about the same time I got a real job and wasn't lifting very seriously until the begining of this year. Sounds like an awesome trip all in all and a great learning experience.

Cheers,
Scotsman

I didn't know all this eye popping was so common. If that happened to me my wife would freak out.

Great job, spatts!

I blew an eye in my last 2 meets. Freaks people out. But like the T-shirt says. . .


Well, sorry I could not make the trip, but very glad for those who went that all went well. Spatts and crew, you guys and gal, will have to pass along some of that MM knowledge next time you see me. I could use another 60 lbs on my bench as well.

I'm not sure how the MM techniques are going to work for a 3 lift competitor. I've never tried to deadlift after arching like that before. I may test that next week. If I'm not ready for that yet, I may have to use my old bench style at the meet just so I can pull. We'll see....

 

[MULE1]

I'm gonna be there if I see you fucking with your arch I'm coming up on the platform

 

[Parabellum]

Congrats on the PR Spatts.

You never arched before or did they have you do it differently this time? How so?

 

[spatts]

Mule, do any of the people using this technique do 3 lift meets? Does it affect their deadlift numbers? The deadlift is actually my best lift, and I don't want to go backwards on it. I use my squat for that. lol

September trip? Count me in, barring any uncontrolled emergencies. I'd love to put 30 on my bench, let alone 60.

Ish, you're not kidding. Mike put 60 pounds on my bench in about an hour. If you guys want to get together with us for the September trip, let me know. If ANY of you need bench help and can make it to PA, CALL MIKE!!!
