New AAPF american record in GA.

[dbolsandall]

I got a new PR in the deadlift this weekend at the APF/AAPF GA. state championships this past sat. AAPF 220lb. open men. 677.5 on 3rd attempt.This is a new American Record, I'm so physced. Hope 700 comes soon. Saw Steve Goggins , he's cool as hell! Kieran Kidder was there and competed. 850 squat almost 870. He benched 550. I thought this guy was a wannabe powerlifter but have a new respect for the man. Goggins did'nt compete. He was coaching some guy. I'm thinking about getting a double ply denim from karin's kreation's. I'm fixing to do my first westside bench bench program and can't wait to see what kind of result's i'm gonna get. So if any one has some tips give me a shout.

Yes it is a great pull congrats! I wish i coudl pull like that. What kinda of work do you do for it? I have seen Kieran lift before and he can lift some weight. Steve Goggins is a freak! What did he squat?

Karins company is called Karins Xtreme powerwear!

Good shit!

Jay, i really have'nt been doing anything extra for deads.I really was trying to get back in shape. I pulled 675 in march of 2000 at an AAPF meet. So i had been close to that kind of weight before. But when i'm pushing my deadlift i do a lot of heavy shrugs, and lockouts. I alternate shrugs one week then lockouts the next. i try to shrug and lockout 100lb.s over my max. My regular dead lift workout is centered around 3 sets of 5 reps.I really work on bar speed. I've got a buddy that's really pushing me to try some westside training, and will probably try a bench cycle of louies for 8 weeks. I try to keep all my training simple and intense. I'm wanting to try denim. And heard karin's does a good job. but after i read what you said about some new shirt coming out i thought i'd wait and see. i reverse grip and would like to find a shirt that would work for it. i've done 420 raw reverse.I used a heavy duty blast shirt from inzer this past weekend and gave 433 a pretty good ride. got to within about 2 inches of lockout. But the deadlift kinda got me over being bummed about my bench. Thanks guys for your replies. I hope someone breaks my record, AFTER i get my lift certified. That way i can crank it up to 700lb. Thanks again for all the help and words of encouragement. Let's all get in the gym and get stronger

Hey Jay, Goggins did'nt lift. He was coaching another lifter. But would have loved to have seen him squat. I got to see Brent Mikesell squat 1046 at the Arnold back in Feb. He's another awesome squatter.Met and talked to Ed Coan, This guy is super nice. Got my picture made with him. Also saw Kazmeier. He was kind of an asshole. But you never know he might of been having a bad day. The arnold was awesome.
