older doesnt mean wiser

[IrishPower]

In grand tradition of preparing for a meet, i almost killed myself as usual.

I think this is part of my training ritual.... scare the shit out of myself, come close to death, and then go nail it at the meet.

I am pretty sure I am good for an 835 - 850 at the meet.

On a brighter side, I did lock out 485 + doubled and choked greens on speed pulls. A PR by far!

DAMN!!!!

 

[I'D RATHER BE DEADLIFTING]

Dang!!! Glad you are ok.

Next time just lift it and then you won't have to worry about dumping it.

 

[CrimsonKing]

Jesh! that was scary! Glad you are ok

 

[t3c]

jesus...i'd say that beats crimson on the "almost dying scale" for sure

why not some safty pins or something?

 

[IrishPower]

cause im a fucking moron!

i usually fall backward when i bail. i gained too much weight this time around and my suit was hella tight.

live (or die) and learn i guess. wanted to share with all you.


OFFICER FRIENDLY SAYS "put your safety pins in"

 

[TheProject]

HOLY SHIT!

That was the first thing I noticed watching the vid. Thought, hey, there's no pins there. Where's the bar gonna go?

Glad you're not hurt!

Another hardcore training production brought to you by your friends at growOrDie.com

How much weight have you gained?

 

[JDarty6173]

Tommy,

Now remind me again why they used Russell Crowe in Gladaitor and not YOU!!!!

2 things

#1 Good thing for all those Heavy GM's you do, or your back could have been seriously injured.

#2 As perhaps foolish as it was to not have safety pins in, I'm thinking, your mind simply tells your body you have to own this lift , there is no safety net here, MAKE IT OR DIE.

I'm glad your OK.

Peace,
Mike
