Okie Crew Invades The Asylum

[Hannibal]

Today was what powerlifting is all about. The Okie Crew hopped in a car and drove several hours just to lift with us. It was an awesome day.

First we did what all good powerlifters do...we went to the All You Can Eat Buffet. Tanked up on food...and then it was time to TRAIN!! Started off with 2 Board Press (some with shirts and some without). I think EVERYONE hit some very impressive PR's. I cannot stress enough how much motivation there is when there is NEW BLOOD in the gym. It was good for me to get my ass kicked today...made me HUNGRY!!

Let me see if I can get the numbers right....

Benchmonster "shirted": 520 (tried 560 and got out of the groove)

Screwball "no shirt":441

Hannibal "shirted":441 (missed 419, came back and got it then said "FUCK IT" and got 441...44lbPR)

BigOkie "no shirt":331 ( I think...and dont know if he got a shirt press down)

Project "no shirt": 265 (22lbPR)

Spatts: 221 (188 was old PR...33lb PR)

I apologize if the numbers are off. After that we went into the new "magic lockout move"...and then Bench showed us all how to do JM Presses the right way. Then for another hour or so we sat around in a roundtable type discussion and exchanged lifting ideas. Thats what so great about powerlifting. After that went out for BBQ...and sat around for another couple of hours talkin about everything under the sun as it relates to powerlifting.

Today was a good day....thanks to the Okies for coming up...you are ALWAYS WELCOME.

Congrats everyone!

You ate right before you lifted? Am I the only person who has to exercise on an empty stomach?

 

[Arioch]

I have to wait a little bit before I lift. I cannot lift with a full stomach. I do best if I am just slightly hungry.

 

[makedah]

Empty stomach?

I'm afraid so... Maybe an hour after eating a snack (as in a piece of fruit or PB sandwich) or 3-4 hours after eating a light meal, but there can't be anything sloshing around in there...

I admire yall's iron wills and tummies to match!

3-4 hours after eating a light meal

I don't think I ever go 3-4 hours solid without eating ANYTHING, except when I'm asleep!

Although I do need about an hour aftering having a big meal, 30 min after a small snack. I never eat really huge meals anyway - too used to the mini-meals.
