i actually missed the rutgersdnker one also somehow even though i'm subscribed, i actually just searched his username cause i wanted to talk to him about the national record he's gonna beat in the squat and possibly deadlift also on july 31st at a powerlifting meet for 165 lbs and i saw the vid
this guy is fucking ridiculous too, so strong relative to his bodyweight

If being able to squat 950 pounds means you can only get around by waddling, then I never want to be able to squat 950 pounds.
thats the knee wraps man, sux trying to walk in them.
Duly noted.
Knee wraps of course makes this non raw. Anyways, big number.
edit/ He has apparently squatted 975 since this vid. Very strong.

Knee wraps are still considered raw in alot of powerlifting organizations including his. "Geared" refers to supportive briefs and squat suits. Belt and wraps is still a "raw" squat in alot of orgs.

Yeah. But I disagree with that. Raw is raw. Shoes on, bar on back.

Not just one beast, but a few.
A fucking 150kg power snatch and a 170kg power clean by Pyrros Dimas. He did the power clean just to get the bar back in the rack for squats, but didn't feel like unloading it first, pizamp.
I recommend listening to the commentary for this vid.
Note: His power snatch at his bodyweight gets him a 79" vert according to CCJ's calculator. Dimas probably did have a pretty sick vert...
His vert is no surprise , that pic is at the last olympic games of his life , the only one he didn't win gold , at age 33. Even then , he lifted 377,5kg in total in the 85kg category.
At his prime , in the 1996 Olympic games he lifted: 180kg Snatch - 212kg clean and jerk in the -83kg category , winning gold of course and setting WR in snatch and total.
2.2*BW snatch should be enough for a good vert , no? ;D

lol wtf? that's seriously impressive.. most people's (including athletes) legs would be wrecked trying to do that, especially at 43.
i don't even get how that's "parkour style", you never see that in parkour.. or am i wrong? parkour has people rolling etc, or really dissipating all energy in the landing, he absorbed a ton of force in his legs.

he's definitely beast, love his vids.. his old single leg dunking video is insane, one of my fav vids of all time.. ill link it tomorrow if i remember, love the music in it too.. it's like he's not even the same person, skinny/mad powerful single leg jumper back then, now he's huge double leg jumper/strength athlete.

well that video, and those programs, show you how much self control these people actually have.. it's easy to lash out when you have nothing to live for, or you think you are going through it.. but once you actually are locked in a cage, many of those people smarten up pretty quick.. if your only satisfaction in life, for possibly the rest of your life, is lifting weights, then i can pretty much guarantee your 'irrational lash out behavior' will almost completely disappear.. when a 'much loved hobby' is only available due to proper conduct, instead of just being able to participate in that hobby regardless of conduct, your behavior will change..
if prisons were allowed to be completely inhumane, they could have the entire prison population acting like martha stuart, if only they made food & water a privilege..
people in 'prison' have alot more self control than the outside world thinks.. people in psyche-wards, definitely a different issue.

I hate marathons.
You gotta know the backstory. She was doing the Ironman (not a marathon) almost as a joke, for a class project during her senior year of college. Did not train in any kind of serious or concentrated way, showed up in Kona and there were all these hardcore people around with specialized bikes and outfits and such. And at some point late in the bike or early in the run, she found herself in the lead. Then, with 400m to go, her body quit on her. But her mind didn't quit. She decided that she was going to finish no matter what happened. She was going to stumble and crawl and shit her pants if she had to (and she does in that video), but she was going to finish. So she did.
It's not smart or healthy. But it shows an insane level of determination and mental strength. Your body can go so much harder than you think. Most of the time, your brain is the limiting factor. I love having that knowledge.

It's simple: imagine your torso was 5 meters tall. Would a barbell BSS be easy?
The further away from your center of gravity or the point of control is a weight, the harder it is to control.
Title: Re: beast
Post by: LanceSTS on February 19, 2011, 05:20:32 pm
Yea, barbell is much harder. If you made the case your grip strength gave out with the dumbells then you could have an argument that dumbells were "harder", but the leverage advantage goes to the dumbell + weight vest for sure. Do a bss holding dumbells, then do it with the dumbells resting on your shoulders.

Well I just dont consider wraps raw, since raw for me is when you do not wear something that produces force. Ive tried wraps when I tried powerlifting equipment and they can give you alot if you know how to use them. 50kg or more if Im not mistaken. I dont know about rehband sleeves, dont really know what they are. Belt I do however consider raw since it in it self does not give any lift.
Thats just my view. I think this Eric guy is a beast for sure.

lololololololololol NO NO NO. Most people will get little to nothing out of them other than a slight boost out of the hole and they feel more secure at the knee joint. Between 10-30lbs is what youre looking at difference wise most of the time and many times thats just a matter of confidence with the wraps on since you feel more secure.

This last weekend two Westside lifters, AJ Roberts and David "Neutron" Hoff both destroyed the all-time world records in their respective weight classes!
AJ hit a 2,825 lbs total with a 1,140 squat, 870 bench, and 815 deadlift. He competed as a 308. His was the highest all-time total for a 308 and the 2nd highest all-time total period!
David hit 2,805 with a 1,115 squat, 880 bench, and 810 deadlift for the all-time best 275 class total!
Congratulations to both men and to Louie Simmons, the architect of the Westside system of training and the greatest strength training coach ever.

Why do all people seem to bench press with suicide grip nowadays?
Not all people do but some really good lifters do, its easier on the shoulder joint and easier on the connective tissue in people who have pec tear issues for some. There is nothing wrong with using a false grip IF you know what youre doing.

Yeah but I have a feeling a lot of people use the suicide grip because they think that's the WAY you're supposed to bench press, that's the problem.
It's interesting because, according to Pavel Tsatsouline, the most powerful "arm extension" when pushing something has it's point in the base of the thumb (several inches lower, on the bottom of the palm) area. So it would make sense for the bar to sit there if you're to apply maximum power to it. But, you know, better safe than bench press.

Yea beginners shouldnt begin with a false grip and people using a full grip need to learn to let the bar sit in the bottom of the palm. But a false grip has its benefits if you know how to use it, especially for people who have shoulder/pec injuries or issues.

Its not the movement of the thumb itself that shifts the tension, its the elbow/shoulder position it enables and the difference in tricep vs pectoral involvement from the false grip.

he's a beast for sure but i'd be surprised if he wins WSM, he's just too tall imo.. can't win a few events being that tall: squat, deadlift, and press.. i'd imagine at least.. i'd be curious to see how he placed in those in 2009 WSM, probably was his downfall.
ok i was kind of right, but he's right there, he does suffer slightly in those events:

Meaning exactly that. You can only go as far as YOU (each individual) can go, depending on how strong you are. To get further away you need to get stronger, and that happens in time. Think about the distance traveled on the ab wheel as a weight in the squat.

Bullshit!!! There is crazy cam angle distortion : It looks like his whole head is above but it is only like half or 2/3 of it! His head reached only about 8'' to 10'' above , not 15'' or so that you see... So ( given his height is 6'8'' ) this is not a 55'' jump as it seems , this is barely 48'' to 50'' oh , wait...
Title: Re: beast
Post by: Raptor on June 07, 2011, 04:51:50 am
Nah that's probably close level to the rim... so ~40.
Title: Re: beast
Post by: vag on June 07, 2011, 09:27:45 am
Look at the original angle (0:03). Does that seem head over rim to you?
The original angle is much worse that the slow-mo , very far and very sharp ( 45' or more ) it is terrible for making any kind of measurements. But it's not like i care if that was a 40'' or 45'' or 50'' jump , it is just awesome! Just for the talk , i would guess around middle of head or so, headtip ~6'' to 8'' above rim.
who said it was 55"? point is he clearly had a significant part of his head over the rim. in the middle of a game.
LOL , it would be 55'' for the lebron teen fan that sees 'neck at rim" so ~15'' above - 55''. I was playing the hater role, uses distortion and all and makes an estimation much lower than the lebron fan , to end up on a still unbelievable thing ( mid head above , 45''+ ) , then hater silenced from respect to the achievement. I was expecting you'd catch the sarcasm... :-*
i'll never forgive him for not doing the dunk contest. fuck elbow in rim, lebron looks like he could do armpit in rim.

Its possible, especially in a canvas suit, however the better you get with a suit, the more you get out of it. You still have to be able to support the weight though, but with you squatting 300 + now, you could definitely get 500 or so in a canvas within a small time frame of learning the groove.

haha, well youre still having to do a ton of work, its all you at the top but its a royal pain in the ass getting into gear and learning to use it. The suit helps you out of the hole like a sling shot, the canvas suit literally catches your hips, feels like you sat into a swing. Its kind of like pushing an already moving car at that point, if you keep it moving you got it, you let it slow down and youre fucked. The last time I put on a canvas suit we almost had to cut it off of me, I was literally PULLING down as hard as i could with my hip flexors and still couldnt hit parallel until the weight got over 600lbs. It felt like a toy on the way up though.
You still get stronger in a general sense in bench shirts and squat suits, and one of the benefits is that it gets you used to supra maximal weights and strengthens the hell out of the top part of the lift. The downside is how uncomfortable it is, and if you dont do any raw lifting you get very weak at the bottom of the lifts. Training with very heavy weights in a bench shirt made my triceps grow more than anything Ive ever done. If you wanted to try it, I would definitely go with a single ply ipf legal suit at first, its much easier to lift in and learn the suit.

Unless we talk about Brittany Grittner or whatever it's name.
I do, I see one that has spent a massive amount of time and dedication under a bar, to develop a strong body. You might prefer the ones who spend the majority of their time putting on make up, looking at themselves in the mirror, giving head, etc., but when a female is dedicated enough to achieve something like that it deserves respect.
I really wish people would think a little before they bash people like Brittany Griner, she is a great athlete, has done nothing personally to you, and regardless of this just being the internet, going around calling a girl a "it" or a "man" is hurtful, especially considering that shes still a kid. If you make fun of someone for acting stupid, doing dumb shit, or something that is a CHOICE, thats all fine and dandy. But youre bashing someone who has done nothing to you, for something that they have no control over, its similar to making fun of someone for having a birthmark on their face, being too tall, or the color of their skin.
Do this Raptor, go to any Brittany Griner video on youtube, and read through a page or two of the comments. Guaranteed you will see tons of similar remarks to the ones you just made. Now consider the fact that SHE probably at some point has read some of those comments, from people she has done nothing to, possibly with her friends there, family, etc. If you think thats ok for things like that to happen to a KID, who did nothing to those people, there is something wrong with you.

doesn't matter. he's NOT RUNNING. what he's doing is a different thing. the fact that his disadvantage in the start might make up for his huge advantage in the upright portion of the race doesn't deny the fact that the blades give him a huge advantage while moving forward at high speed.
plus it's only a matter of time before they come up with blades that eliminate the problems with the start. what, are they gonna calibrate the technology so it meets some random standard for correlation with human speed?

I'd like to see this paper or whatever that says he's not actually running. Not to be rude or anything, I'm actually genuinely interested. Whether or not he runs doesn't change the fact that he's a beast. He's still the world record holder in the paralympics for the 100m and 200m.

Whether or not you want to consider what he is doing as "running" or not is immaterial to the debate. The salient point is that blades dramatically change the dynamics of the race. Pistorius seems to be really passionate about track and field and it's very much a feel good story which gets track and field some more exposure (which it desperately needs). The CAS decision was purely political. This will go on until Oscar (or another para athlete) runs a world leading time or wins a diamond league event. Only then will the able-bodied athletes federations whose medals and money he is taking point out the litany of differences between running on compressive blades...

I agree track and field is in need of exposure. My problem with this is, he is not competing on the same terms as everybody else. I dont care wether or not he has an disadvantage in the start or wether that is equal or not to his advantage with the blades. The reason track and field works as a sport is the fact that I can run 100m in Denmark and be compared to someone running in the US. All the rules and restrictions regarding the equipment allowed, how the track is build, what its made of, wind, etc. etc. This is what makes the sport possible at all. And he does NOT fit under those rules. If he is allowed to use those blades, then everyone should, and then we will see Usain Bolt running with tiny short blades under his shoes.
That he has a pasion for track and field is great. But I have a passion for track and field, but Im not blessed with the talent that Jurgen Schultz has, or the long arms of some other world class discus thrower. Should I then be allowed to use a speciel discus in competition or some lengthening device for my arms?
I hope I make sense. When it comes to discussions in english, sometimes Im lost for words.

i dont think blade-runners should be able to officially compete with 'regular humans', on a national circuit.. i do however think they should be able to unofficially compete with them.. so even if the blade-runner wins the event, he doesn't really win, his stats are placed on some other event listing.. ie, pistorius beats wariner, but it wont count officially as him beating wariner, wariner still wins the event.. but pistorius wins in the 'cyborg category'.
if that makes sense..
my problem with just flat out not letting pistorius compete, is that, he's a freak with insane dedication/desire to run, he should be allowed to run in any of the event prelims against anyone imo.. maybe not the finals, because he'd be taking someone elses spot.. but this guy should be allowed to run in prelims in any event on the planet. there's not many people like him, and there won't be.. most people who run on blades will never reach his kind of speed, guy is an animal.

wheelchair marathoners are in the same spot as he is, IMO, and they compete in a similar way to what you're suggesting: they race in the same races as regular marathoners and their times are just counted separately. the problem with pistorius is that his entry into the competition takes a spot away from a regular athlete. there are only 8 lanes, after all. you can get 15,000 people running a marathon and dozens of elite or near-elite. no one is taking someone else's spot.

That's not a bad compromise. But, of course letting him compete in the prelims is still taking a spot from someone else. And, honestly I probably wouldn't want to compete against him in a tactical race like the 400m. Can you imagine running a couple lanes inside of him? Because of the way he runs on the blades you would make up the stagger in the first 20 meters which would could really through your race off. It would be really frustrating to run against his crazy splits...
Anyway, it's certainly a difficult situation. I would argue that he should probably be kept out of events which you have to qualify for like World Championships and Olympics (which have a para division) but if diamond league meet organizers want to invite him to compete against able-bodied athletes they should be allowed to do so but his records should not be compared to able-bodied records. I think this compromise would be fair because a) The olympics and world championships are the two events that already attract decent attention, b) He wouldn't be "taking" anyone's spot ( you get this these meets by invitation rather than strictly a qualifying time ), and c) If you don't want to run against him there are enough of these meets where you could successfully avoid him...

we have a way of determining the fastest man ever known. it's called elite-level track and field. you know, where a bunch of very fast guys meet in an organized competition and race either for money or for a medal? maybe you haven't heard of it, but there are a few big competitions a year. the world record is now almost half a second faster than bob hayes's WR.
so you can argue that he's the fastest man the world has ever known, but you'd be objectively wrong.

Yup , that's an old one. Jump is sick but i think 49'' is pushing it. He is 6'3'' and jumping bellybutton-level , low 40's seem more realistic. Check the comments too , adarqui thinks the same. Top of vertec is 144'', at 6'3'' he must have at least 8' reach , probably a bit more. Even with only 8' reach he needs 48'' to reach the vertec top , which he clearly misses. Id go for ~42'' too as an estimate , still impressive as hell for a 240lbs guy!

i found it through my friend jim's website. jimmy has been doing gymnastics and bodyweight exercises for a long time (he's the beast skills guy) and he was just in complete awe of this dude. the big difference he has is shoulder mobility -- jimmy is bigger than he is for sure and probably stronger with weights. but the guy's overhead mobility is such that he can stand on one hand about as easily as you can stand on one foot. insane.

Second vid would be more impressive if they were pistol squats. There's a whole other level of balance/coordination and strength along with it that you just can't compare to with a squat like that.

-in response to the single legged squat video: i'm pretty sure that lowering the arms, while standing up in the squat takes tension away from the legs. it makes the squat more efficient and the legs do less work since the weight is being lowered by the hands. this is why crossfitters can do hundreds of bodyweight squat, they are all very "efficient" in that they take less energy, and less work is done per squat.

Yeah. IFRC Pendlay has done RDLs with like 600 or something crazy.
update found it. here we go (http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/core_march_1.htm)
Quote
I did squat over 800 several times off a below parallel box wearing just a belt. I also did 606lbs for a set of 10 with a lot of gas left in the tank, high bar and close stance Olympic style, without wearing a belt, or any other equipment.
Other "odd" feats related to the squat would be a set of 5 on the front squat with 550lb, and an Olympic style back squat single with 600lbs done fast enough to throw the bar over my head at the end of the squat and have it land in front of me, which I tried because I had heard that David Rigert did it years ago in training before a World Championships.
As far as odd lifts go, I've done strict barbell rows for reps with 425, and that's without lifting the back past parallel with the ground. I never curl but on a bet once I did 235lbs for a set of 8 on the barbell curl with fairly good form.
Back when I was younger and weighing around 275-285lbs I benched a bit over 500 without a shirt. But I tore my pec and never got to try more than that. Probably not much of a loss, as I wasn't really suited to the bench and would probably never been good at it anyway.
I've done stiff leg deadlifts and Romanian deadlifts with over 700lbs, and a few other odd things like that.

Post by: Raptor on November 16, 2012, 11:05:49 am
Your athletes are also capable of some very impressive "odd" feats of strength and athletic ability... such as 300 pound 50 rep rock bottom squats, back and front flips, and the ability to dunk basketballs at 5'7" tall.
Well the neatest looking thing I can think of is what Justin Brimhall sometimes does. He can hold a 55lb plate over his head with both hands, and bounce up and down on one leg or from one leg to another, and I mean FULL one legged squats, all the way down butt to ankle with the other leg held straight out in front of him.
He doesn't simply stand up from that position, he literally jumps up and lands on the other leg 3 or 4 feet across the floor and with no pause for balance descends to a full squat on the other leg and jumps again. He can cross a room in a few seconds doing this. I've never seen anyone else capable of doing this the way he does it.
I'm sure he could hold something heavier over his head and do it, but that's the heaviest plate I've got. Of course at 16 years old and 165lbs he also cleaned 352lbs and jerked 374lbs, so he's a good athlete; he can do all sorts of strange and unusual things.
My wife is the true athlete in the family. With about 6 months training back in college, she squatted 330lbs at a 125lb bodyweight. She could have been way better than me in any strength sport if she had wanted to pursue it. Her brother is so freaky I shouldn't even go into it, and you probably won't believe it anyway.
Things like cleaning over double bodyweight as a 15 year old (315lbs weighing 155lbs) and benching over double bodyweight in high school without any equipment (340lbs at 165lb bodyweight).
Both of these examples were done without any real training on those lifts, just natural strength :motherofgod:. He quit athletics after high school to concentrate on college and becoming a veterinarian, and is about to graduate from vet school at the end of the present semester.

A few of his tricks involved squats with 300 kilograms (660 lb), demonstrating muscle control, and tearing 1500 page books. He has toured all over the world for bodybuilding shows and has been widely acclaimed for his strength and muscle control. Aich continues to train for up to 90 minutes (this time includes his warm ups such as stretching) He accomplishes this at his own gym Studio de Physique in Kolkata, which has produced Indian champions such as Satyen Das, Satya Pal, Sundeepan Sen and Hitesh Chatterjee. Aich's diet consists of rice (along with other starches), pulses (dal), vegetables, fruits, mango, banana, jackfruit, and guava. Among non-vegetarian items, he likes to have fresh-water fish.

story from a friend:
"Random story-time:
So it's legs-day today, and I'm in Leominster. I was taking a rest in between sets, and there's this older, balding, fairly round man (had to be ~60 years old) sitting on a bench, who tells me "Good set." I say thanks, and decide shoot the shit for a minute before I get back to it.
He asks "So ahh, you do the deadlift?" (He had a heavy ass accent, sounded Eastern European)... We talk about how awesome it is (lol why the fuck not), and he goes on to talk about how he used to be a weightlifter back in his day, probably Oly lifting since we also went on about the Clean.
After we're done talking I get back to my set, but then i notice him walk over to a barbell loaded with 4 plates (405lb) - didn't even realize it was there. This balding, fat old man proceeds to fucking STIFF-LEG THAT SHIT RIGHT OFF THE FLOOR. No belt, nothing but straps. He does a 1RM, looks over at me and gives me the upward-head nod with a smile.
Needless to say I haven't been THAT JACKED UP in a while; Figured you guys would appreciate something this nuts+awesome lol."

Lance, is this paused rep at this BW doable for the non-genetically gifted with only creatine and nothing "else". That CNS power is just apeshit.
Sure, but extremely rare to have the combination of things it takes to do it all come together. I would say he has a good structure for squatting, has trained well/intelligently, and is overall just a strong squatter in general. I wouldnt define him as insanely genetically gifted athletically like a t-dub or a casey combest, but good genes/structure for strength and using what he has wisely.

Genetically gifted is somewhat relative isn't it? I'd say he is genetically gifted as far as the back pause squat goes... I'd actually argue that the "athletically gifted" state would make this damn near impossible as far as sprinters are concerned; someone like Usain Bolt (IMO the most gifted ever) would be surprisingly weak in an exercise like this. To some extent the levers which allow you to produce ridiculous reactive power down the track are also those that making squatting less efficient. This is surely an oversimplification but being truly great in anything requires a level of specificity and efficiency for that movement which reduces carryover to other movements. Essentially the power required for your average guy to run like Bolt time is much more than what is required for Bolt. Similarly Raptor will likely not be able to pause squat almost triple BW like this guy; but if he "could" he would have a vertical jump of 50 inches or something inhuman. This is kinda why calculators and predictors for athleticism always over predict ability when you base them on what you are naturally good at and underpredict when you base them on what your naturally poor at.

Ah, I see. So much confusion for me as to how people from different backgrounds use words; in a lifting context strength is defined by squatting and power defined by the pulls? In sprinting strength refers almost exclusively to speed endurance; we would say a miler has endurance, a great 400m runner has to have a lot of strength while a 100m runner has power. I guess we are perhaps the most wrong from a physical standpoint.

Yeah Todday I think we are saying the same basic thing, you can have a good structure/proportions for one strength event and not be a "genetic freak" in all power/speed activities across the spectrum. Max squat to max power snatch is a general way in olympic lifting to tell how much on the "speed" end someone generally is. Not always, most the time though, the guys with a smaller difference in the two tend to be the most genetically "gifted" athletes.

Ah, I see. So much confusion for me as to how people from different backgrounds use words; in a lifting context strength is defined by squatting and power defined by the pulls? In sprinting strength refers almost exclusively to speed endurance; we would say a miler has endurance, a great 400m runner has to have a lot of strength while a 100m runner has power. I guess we are perhaps the most wrong from a physical standpoint.
Yeah Todday I think we are saying the same basic thing, you can have a good structure/proportions for one strength event and not be a "genetic freak" in all power/speed activities across the spectrum. Max squat to max power snatch is a general way in olympic lifting to tell how much on the "speed" end someone generally is. Not always, most the time though, the guys with a smaller difference in the two tend to be the most genetically "gifted" athletes.
What are the best squat to power snatch ratios youve heard of Lance?

So my buddy has been in Spain most of the summer for an internship in Barcelona for a computer company, helping to develop Android apps. He decided to go participate in the running of the bulls, and now he's on international news because he was one of the people that got gored. He's had his spleen removed because the horn punctured his abdominal cavity, but he's stable and recovering right now. Most recent local news says he actually talked to his dad earlier and supposedly felt fine after the surgery... well, I'd guess about as fine as you can feel after having a 1,300 pound beast plunge one of its horns into your gut. I've never been much of a fan of the whole event just because it's (obviously) pretty insane, but I have nothing but respect for my friend. Thoughts and prayers for him and his family are appreciated. Enjoy the hardcore looking pics.
He got fuked up but that's an awesome story to tell for him in the future.
One of the Spaniards that was actually on video footage had it worse as far as the actual attack goes, but his injuries were on his thighs and near his groin. The bull attacked that guy for like 30 seconds or more before people finally got it distracted enough to carry the guy away. My friend's injuries were closer to vital organs. Definitely a crazy story for later though.

Dwight Howard is pretty damn athletic. He's really fast (especially for someone his height) and he has pretty impressive weight room numbers. I think your confusing laziness, a lack of skill, and a lack of toughness for unathleticism. I'll give you that is extremely disappointing.... but he is disappointing given his athleticism which is pretty amazing.

devil's advocate: dwight howard was the best defensive player in the league (measured by win shares) from at least 2008-2011 and even last year he was top-10. sometimes it seems like he's not tapping his full potential and that's disappointing but he's still a great basketball player.

Good point. I don't totally agree with win shares; I think Kevin Garnett rates higher than Howard in defensive +/- and was the better defensive player certainly for 2008/2009, but the Howard clearly is one of the top defenders. He is everything but a great pick and roll defender (which I think requires more skill and is more valuable against most great teams). As paint defense is the one part of basketball that is most dependent on athleticism, this emboldens the point I was making to Raptor; Howard is a great athlete but lacks skill and will (thus poor offensive production, terrible free throw shooting, etc.) Defending the paint really is the one area in basketball where you can get a job in the pros just based on your athletic ability. In American football you will get looks at most positions for your stats; I have scouts and combine guys coming up to me when all they have seen is a big 220 guy run a semi-decent 100m (never mind they have never seen me try and catch a football)....
For basketball if your ~7 feet, strong, can jump and run like a 6 footer, etc they will sign you up right away. That's why a guy like DeAndre Jordan who plays like he has never touched a basketball or cared to practice and shoots 30% from the line is a starter in the NBA. His physical tools alone make him so valuable on defense. What I find most amusing is that Shaq is a one of Howards loudest critics. Shaq was a much better player but he may have been even lazier; as great as he was he seriously could have been much greater. One year he delayed surgery till the start of the season giving us the great quote "I like to heal on company time".
Anyway, if there was any doubt that Howard is an absolutely amazing athlete it should end in this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olAnwLcOCl8 [ Relay starts at 1:14 ]
I know Maurice Greene is fat and lazy since retirement. I know he's not REALLY trying super hard. I know it's only like a 60m turn. But more than anything watch the form as he holds the stagger on Greene.... A 7 footer just isn't supposed to run like that. Really ridiculous. If they had the world championships of sprinting for 7 footers... Howard would clean up. If you consider height an athletic trait (which it is really), then to some extent the NBA players are the greatest athletes in the world. NFL guys have ridiculous speed and ability despite massive bodyweight; but height is more rare than size in a population. There are fewer than 100 men between 20 and 40 that are 7 feet or taller in the entire US. Just by virtue of his height Howard is such an extreme outlier; when you factor in that his raw athletic ability would probably place in his the top 1-2% of the population DESPITE the fact that tall guys are usually significantly less athletic.... well what he has is really crazy. Guys like that (Bill Russel, Wilt Chamberlain, Shaq, Howard), movable massive guys are just so rare that it's shocking when they aren't more dominant.

Usain Bolt is lazy. You have to understand statistics of outliers. Outliers are not distributed normally (gaussian). Yes the simple model assumes the normal distribution of ability and some normal distribution of effort. Therefore as you move higher into the ranks of achievement what you get is both more natural ability and more effort. But realize that you have to divorce yourself from this thinking when you examine outliers. Most really good people have tremendous ability AND tremendous drive. But with crazy freak outliers all bets are off. This is real statistical phenomena. Think about Earthquakes, most are minor. Some are moderate. Few are big. Even less are very big. But the biggest one of all.... well it probably doesn't have any neighbors close to it on either side! Thus, for Shaq, Bolt, etc, there isn't necessarily that guy right behind him that will outwork him if he isn't careful. Theres that guy 10 stratospheres below him that will outwork him if he simply doesn't try. But Shaq is admittedly lazy! Maybe lazy is the wrong word because I am not implying that he simply didn't try. But he wasn't even close to Kobe Bryant in terms of effort to perfect his craft. Shaq admittedly traveled and stopped playing basketball in the summers and came into the season out of shape over and over again. You can say he would have burned out and you might be right. But I'm talking about peak performance not career performance. In terms of Shaq's peak.... He simply could have been better. Usain Bolt could go from the best sprinter ever to the even more best sprinter ever and EASILY take the 400m gold in Rio. EASILY. I don't think he will do it because training for it sucks. Partially when your already the best you don't care to become that much better. He simply isn't pushed externally and for whatever reason doesn't have the internal motivation to do it. But he could if he wasn't too lazy.

Post by: LBSS on July 18, 2013, 12:10:13 pm
i think my objection is that calling a super-elite/dominant athlete "lazy" is a judgment cast down without any thought for the person as a whole. i made this point already, but without knowing someone who is dominant at their craft intimately, you can't say that whatever approach they took to become dominant is a sub-optimal approach. maybe being relaxed and getting fat in the offseason is what shaq needed to average 26-30 points and 11-14 rebounds for ten years, be a 15-time all-star, 3-time finals MVP, and have his number retired by the lakers. you and i just don't know.
usain bolt has been training to be a sprinter since he was a kid. he might not be the hardest working sprinter out there, and he's clearly a freak among freaks, but calling him lazy robs the word of any meaning.
calling athletes like that lazy just smacks too much of easy armchair quarterbacking. "god damn brady, why didn't he see welker open in the flat? if he'd hit him that's 15 yards easy, first down, run out the clock, game ovah! instead he throws to god damn double-covered gronk and gets picked off. what kinda bullshit quarterbacking is that?" those two things are in the same category to me.

Ehhh... I think your attaching something especially negative to the word lazy rather than taking it to mean just not hard-working. Sometimes what isn't as hard is optimal; for example ask any quarter miler and they will tell you that every high-jumper is lazy! The training for high jumping allows you to be lazy... doesn't mean it's bad. Additionally, sometimes the greatest athletes are so great that they can be lazy! External motivation is HUGE for 99% of people. That's why the fastest sprinter on most college teams dicks around in the weight room and eats skittles. The guy who walked on and might get cut anytime is usually the hardest working guy in the weight room. Occasionally you have the guy at the top who pushes himself despite the fact that he is rarely pushed by anybody, but it's rare... most of the time the king gets lazy... it's human nature!
I think there's a BIG difference between your armchair quarterbacking example and pointing out that a dominant athlete is taking sub-optimal approach to improvement. The first is assuming that the implementation of what you see on your flat screen TV is somehow easy in real time in a helmet with huge guys flying at you; this is OBVIOUSLY wrong. The second is applying what you know about physiology and human performance to critique someones training or practice regime.
Yes, I will give you that there is an element of sports psychology and that you can argue that Shaq somehow "needed" to gain weight to relax and prime himself for the upcoming season... But... how far are you going to extend this? My buddy went to college with Maurice Clarrett (this isn't the best example because he ended up flaming out) who at the time was an EXTREMELY dominant running back, an absolute freak in terms of size/speed/mobility. From firsthand experience the guy was lazy as hell, skipped out on the weightroom, put vodka in his waterbottle at practice, got high before games, and generally didn't seem to care at all. Despite this he was still extremely dominant at his craft... Does that mean we can't critique his training, that it was unorthodox but not sub-optimal? Are you gonna argue that alcohol during practice allowed him to relax which translated into better football performance? Or are we going to agree that from what we know about alcohol and the human body that this was sub-optimal for his performance? I will give you that we don't know 100%. This could just be some real unorthodox stuff that works for him. But, with very high probability I think that guys approach was not optimal.
Also, examine why do you give this standard only to elite athletes? Would you say that same to someone on the forum who uses ridiculous training methods and gets not results? If Raptor insists that naked swiss ball deadlifts are the key to vertical jump are you going to tell him his training is sub-optimal or are you going to admit that there is a chance that the paltry results that he has obtained might actually be his genetic ceiling and these training methods are what works for him? Why only assume that the elite guys are maximizing their potential. Of course there is a correlation between effective training and performance; so on the whole the person who performs better is probably doing closer to optimal training. But did you read the previous post? That correlation should actually be WEAKER for the outliers! Consider the outlier on the other side of the performance curve; someone born with an ailment like muscular dystrophy. His poor performance in athletics is likely not the fault of poor training, just like the amazing performance of the positive outlier is likely NOT the result of optimal training. All sports are different but in sports with large genetic components this is especially true. I think you should revise your statement to read: someone who has improved from a mediocre or intermediate level to an advanced level has very likely taken an optimal approach. For those that are on the extremes; all bets are off.

haha i'd agree that maurice clarrett might not be the best example to turn to. and i'm a little perplexed by your pointing out that i'm attaching an especially negative connotation to "lazy" -- of course i am! it's a negative word!
here's my point: you're arguing a counterfactual that's intuitively appealing but unprovable. i'm saying that in the face of that, tread with caution. could shaq have played longer or scored more points or grabbed more rebounds if he'd kept his weight down, or practiced free throws more so he was better at them so he got beat up less during games? maybe. but i don't know! and neither do you!
let's follow the bolt example: bolt is faster than any person that we know about, ever. to say that he is not maximizing his potential is ludicrous on its face: human beings AS A WHOLE have not yet demonstrated that we have the potential to go faster than he does. one day we probably will, but we haven't yet. by being the fastest person ever, he is maximizing the 100m sprint potential of the human race to date. all i'm saying that, especially in the absence of any special knowledge about usain bolt's training regimen, i have a hard time believing that if he took a different approach, he would be faster. and i have a really hard time calling him lazy.

^ Ok, I don't want to hijack the beast thread anymore so you can PM me or post to my journal if you want to reply but I'll give one last point in this thread.
There are two points and I think you have to separate them to understand.
1) The first point is that you can't PROVE the someones training or ability to maintain weight is necessarily sub-optimal; it might be unorthodox but optimal for them. I give you this point but arguing about being able to prove something surely true is ridiculous and not in the domain of science. Like I said before, you have no problem asserting that a lesser athletes training methods are sub-optimal when you know you have strong evidence that their methods wouldn't help most humans. Now can you prove that someone who has used long distance marathoning to increase their vertical from 20'' to 24'' hasn't maximized their potential? No. You can't prove it. Maybe they are the training outlier and while unorthodox they have fully maximized their potential this way. But... You can be pretty sure what they are doing is suboptimal.
2) Your second point is that if someone is extremely good at something then it's much much more likely that their methods have been fruitful. For this reason the Maurice Clarrett example was actually quite compelling because in his case we can see the whole story in front of us. He was at one point the top running back in college football as a freshman. By any measure you would admit he was at the top of his craft. However, he had what looked to most like a detrimental training regiment. If we went back in time when he was at his best and told you of his training regiment would you say "Well, seems weird, but I can't say he isn't maximizing his potential because he's the best at what he does so it must be unorthodox?". I would say "He is a freak but I don't THINK he is maximizing his potential with what he is doing" (Again from pt 1, I don't know but I strongly think). Turns out in the future his poor approach to his craft cost him and I think now it's safe to say he didn't maximize his potential...
Maybe this isn't satisfying to you because Maurice Clarett didn't at any time maximize human potential like Usain Bolt. I understand that your intuition is since Bolt is the fastest human of all time it's highly unlikely that he isn't maximizing his potential. My main point is that this intuition is wrong. And we have the data to prove it. I used to work with a group that did modeling of earthquakes; the distribution of the outliers is what causes this to be false. While you might not be a statistician I am telling you that you arrived at the conclusion implicitly assuming a normal distribution among outliers as well as humans. Essentially the thought that one would use to assume Usain Bolt must be maximizing his potential is as follows:
A) Humans have a wide distribution natural sprinting ability [ For the hundred lets assume most males people are somewhere 10-20 second range in the absence of training ] B) Humans can improve on that natural sprinting ability with training C) Therefore, if you select a group of fast humans at random it's likely that they are fast because of a combination of A and B. Some may have more natural ability and train less optimally, some less ability but train better, but on average the group is made up of humans with better than average ability AND training.
D) Usain Bolt is that fastest human that ever lived. Therefore in his case it's extremely unlikely that he doesn't have a whole lot of A and a whole lot of B. It's unlikely that would be born with enough "A" to not need "B" to become the best.
*** I agree all the way up to part D. The statistics for why I don't believe in D are explained a bit here: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2008GL035967/abstract but it's REALLY dry and I think I can give an intuitive understanding of why we should not expect that the performance of Usain Bolt is proof that he is maximizing his potential and in fact take his otherwordly performance as evidence that's it's only as likely as it is for any amateur. Basically the proof is in the world records. Just think of when Usain Bolt ran his world record 100m. Assume the mean 100m time for an average trained male is about 13 seconds. Then a much smaller number of times would be run at 12 seconds. And a much smaller number at 11 seconds and so forth. And a much smaller number at 10 seconds. In fact with enough data each 1/100 of a second would go down in the graph. The number of men to achieve 9.98 would be greater than 9.97 which is greater than 9.96 and so forth. This is called monotonic decreasing and is a the hallmark of a normal distribution. However, then we notice that Bolt runs 9.58. Nobody runs 9.59, 9.60, 9.61, 9.62, 9.63.... All the way up to 9.69 which Bolt had run himself. At the time Tyson Gay's 9.71 was the next fastest. It doesn't make sense. 9.58 is MUCH MUCH more unlikely than 9.65. So one observation of 9.58 suggests multiple at 9.65. But we don't see that. This is how outliers work. The tallest man capable of standing up ever was 8' 11''. The second tallest man verified height is 8' 3''. Thats a 8 inch difference. One would assume that under normal conditions since reaching 8'11'' is so unlikely that everything must have lined up perfect to reach such a height. In fact the guy was still growing when he died of an infection unrelated to his height and thus clearly did not reach his potential....
That might be a bit rambling, but I'm just trying to get you to think that maybe the fact that someone is an extreme outlier actually allows us to assume less about the conditions that lead to the event. You have to think about the distribution like this: Most males are born somewhere on the normal curve. The further away from the mean the less likely you will have that level of natural ability. HOWEVER a small amount of people are outliers. Thus, they are born VERY far from the mean say 4 + standard deviations. The likelihood of this event occurring is very rare, but given that it occurs it's not much less likely that they are born 4.6 standard deviations away rather than 4.2. This is a consequence of statistics that I promise is true. It's an extreme value distribution. Given this information we can make the inference that in the event of the outlier the normal expectation on the conditions necessary for an event are not only not necessary; they are actually unexpected! Now apply this to Bolt. Imagine ability (A) and training (B) are both normally distributed. Some people train really hard and it allows them to improve at a fast rate. Consider these two cases:
1) Bolt is an outlier in "A" (natural ability) assume he is 4.2 standard deviations from the mean giving him the natural ability to run 10.3 seconds without much training. He is also highly separated from the mean (maybe not as much) but say maybe 2 standard deviations from the mean in training giving him the drive to train much harder than the average person resulting in the ability to lower his 10.3 second time to 9.58.
2) Bolt is an outlier in "A" and is 4.5 standard deviations from the mean giving him the natural ability to run 9.9 seconds without much training. He is about average as far as training goes thus lowering his 9.9 to 9.58.
******
Both of these are possible but #1 is much less likely because it includes one extremely rare event and one quite rare event. #2 assume only one rare event (which is only trivially less likely than the first even in #1 due to the extreme value distribution).
Hope that made sense. I do statistics for a living and I'm not necessarily the best at explaining it but hopefully you can consider the implications of the extreme value distribution. Also, I realize the models are contrived (as all models are) and that the real world is much more complicated (eg given that bolt is fantastically gifted elite training will be brought to him, etc), but it is worth considering that when faced with an extreme performance we should not use the correct intuition that we use for intermediate and even advanced performances. Thus, when Bolt admits he is lazy and his coach constantly admonishes him for his laziness and he comes into every season out of shape and running slow and admits he just doesn't try that hard cause he prefers playstation.... Maybe we should consider that maybe he could be even faster and not that it's impossible to be so great without everything lining up.... rather you just need one thing to line up in an extreme way.

That looks like a controlled "cave-in" which is perfectly fine apparently.
:trollface:
If I recall correctly, beginners cave in their knees because they are too weak. These guys cave in their knees intentionally to fully activate quads while coming out of the hole.
A lot of these guys cave in their knees while squatting (during practice, not just in competitions):

^having long arms and being short help tremendously in the deadlift. I wonder what his squat is, it's probably lower than the deadlift.
Whereas in the previous post from LBSS, the lifter's squat is much greater than his deadlift and his arms are just normal avg proportions so that when he is in a deadlift position his knees are at a more acute angle.

He claims that although he doesn't train anymore he can still run sub 47 if you give him 1 month of preparation. Anyway, here is his famous (locally) anchor leg in the 4x400 in 95. Quality sucks, but fast-forward to the last leg and watch what is still the greatest comeback of all time. The crowd noise and anticipation make you want to get to the track and run instantly.

Well... I guess it depends on the structure of the individual. It also depends on your muscle recruitment: if you like "getting at your hamstrings" then you're going to lengthen the last step to stretch them (and also possibly bend forward at the hips a bit). If you're more glute dominant, I feel like you can take a shorter last step and emphasize the hip hyperextension instead.

Definitely. Also take a look at what his knee and tibia does after the plant. No forward movement AT ALL happening. If you look at how his body moves, that is a 100% posterior-chain driven jump.

an anecdote about boris diaw when he was just a young fella, told by current cavs GM.
Quote
Boris walks into the gym one day wearing flip-flops and holding his customary cappuccino, which was a staple for him every morning," Griffin recalled. "It was during pre-draft workouts, so he sees the Vertec [machine] and asks what it is.
We tell him it measures your vertical leap by determining how many of the bars you can touch. He asks what's the highest anyone has ever gone, and we tell him Amare' [Stoudemire] cleared the entire rack.
Boris puts down the cappuccino, takes off his flip-flops and clears the entire rack on the first try. Then he calmly puts his flip-flops back on, picks up his cappuccino and walks away, saying, 'That was not difficult.'

I like that once he gets that positive shin angle the actual power comes from the hips at the end, before the triple extension occurs. What I mean by that is you can clearly see that originating at the hips, whereas in lesser guys (me) there's really a triple extension overall, with no obvious power point.

hard to believe that's real. the equipped world record for women in the 72 class is 255, or 25kg less than what she's allegedly squatting there. raw world record is 186, almost 100kg less! anything is possible, i suppose, and if it's real then god help us all.

^^^Agree.
The same debate is going on at the comments section. The OP says:
Quote
Her coach and friends say it's all 100% real. Many people remain skeptical, however; I guess we have to wait and see what she does in official competitions this year. We'll be sharing her results.
Someone else posted her 2014 competition results http://www.powerliftingslovakia.com/files/2014/WORLDS2014-PWL1.pdf She did squat 220kg raw in the 75kg class ( second is 135, best squat in the 82.5kg category is 200 , of course her total 537.5 is first in every weight class , lol ). Also, her squat is the third best and her total is the fifth best in the MALE 75kg class. She is a beast no matter what. But 280kg is still unbelievable. Also sounds impossible is to go from 220 to 280 in one year, at the same weight class. Cheers to her proving our skepticism wrong!c :lololol:
Title: Re: beast
Post by: LBSS on January 23, 2015, 10:03:13 am
the comp results make it easier to believe, in the caption to the vid i think they mention the 215 DL, which is what's listed on those results. 537.5 total is really good for a dude, let alone a lady of any size, let alone a lady who weighs less than i do!
ETA: she has the second-best reshel score (like a wilks score) in that competition, and the next-closest person is also a woman from argentina. interesting. only better dude is someone we should probably be following on YT, if he indeed has videos: jaco de waal, who totaled 815 at 82.5.
beast for sure.

A lot of hip bend, not a lot of knee bend, notice how he stays on the toes, there's no ankle collapse, a ton of foot and calf strength to do that considering the tremendous amount of power that the foot is receiving from the upperleg.

Post by: ChrisM on August 18, 2015, 08:23:03 pm
Yes, I noticed that. I was referring to the mini bounce he took prior to the jump. Its just like a paused squat but taking a bounce to gather momentum or energy. Just pointing it out. It barely makes a difference in my SVJ.

I liked it but, Im gna be that guy...
Why in 99.9999% of all deadlift videos do people just drop the weights? I realize the eccentric part of the lift in a deadlift is the riskier half but why not cut down some weight and reap the gains from a controlled eccentric phase? All other muscle groups/lifts we're told to concentrate on both phases of the lift to fully activate the surrounding musculature. :/ Just my thoughts, beast for sure none the less!
Title: Re: beast
Post by: LBSS on September 07, 2015, 11:36:30 am
well, there's a difference between training sets and all-out or ME sets. i wonder if this woman is more controlled in ordinary work sets.
Title: Re: beast
Post by: Raptor on September 08, 2015, 06:45:55 am
Well, because the deadlift has only the eccentric part. Once you lift it, you can drop it, theoretically speaking. Obviously for training you want an active eccentric part because of the training effects of it, but that's only for training.

People are gonna jump with the technique their body naturally gravitates towards, which is dictated by your strengths/leverages. Rather than a DEEP squat position, he is doing a very hip dominant jump (as most beastly strong NFL guys do). That guy who did a 47" SVJ on the jumpmat posted on here recently also has a very hip dominant SVJ.
You can try to jump like that all you want, but if you don't have the hip strength, it won't do much.

also roy played professional basketball (CBA?).. most athletic boxer i've ever seen. You can see the basketball (streetball) influence in the ring. He's basically doing streetball shit in a boxing ring.
edit: FWIW, mayweather and pacquiao both love bball too, mayweather is actually decent (IIRC). Sergio Martinez could have played professional futbol I think.. futbol/basketball have to be great for footwork in the ring.

Wow, check points they have fruit, everything, to eat,” she said, making a mouth-filling motion with both hands. “You can drink so much you have to spit it out! Near every check point—‘Allez allez,’ ‘Dai dai,’ cow bells tung tung tung. I am ‘Hello, hi everybody.’ At 65km, I said ‘Let’s go, Hillary’ and started a little bit fast. First sister [Anna Comet Pascua of Spain] was walking hands on legs. I am just walking normally, and passed her. I met Greg [Vollet, of team Salomon] at 70km. ‘Wow Mira, you are very strong,’ Greg said. OK, I will try. Bye-bye Greg brother, then I am going, and I ran hard.”

The cause of MS is still unknown – scientists believe the disease is triggered by as-yet-unidentified environmental factor in a person who is genetically predisposed to respond.

MS is incredibly scary. It's more prevalent in "rich" people, believe it or not.
It's some sort of auto-immune disease where the immune system attacks the myelin sheath that isolates the neural axon.

The runner-up, Steffen Streich, asked in the last 100 miles if you wanted to finish the race together. How do you feel about that?
Obviously he was hurting, and he was worn out, and he’d made some mental errors. He was kind of at the end of his line. For me the exciting part is that we got to race to the finish—I thought it was pretty awesome that we’re both in same region of the last 100 miles of the race, of an over 4,000 mile race. So I thought “No way! I’m not giving up this chance. This is like, the moment of the race. This is the pivotal point.” So I just told him that I wasn’t going to do that. Which is fair! I mean, it’s a race. That’s the point.
finish the race together... lmao

Man that video is depressing... PH had so much potential... But hasn't been able to get along with his teammates well enough to do well in the NFL. Could be such a true offensive weapon, return game, receiver, running the reverse, split end, just everything... I always feel like the guys with the burst speed who look semi-fast but don't have the top-speed track gait always make the best football players... It's like if you can run fast without knowing how to run and without having learned to maximize stride length... Then you just can't be tackled and you can adjust so many more times...

Definitely. Even the guys who look semi-fast in the NFL are absolutely flying and probably running high 10s at worst. A player with explosiveness, agility, and lateral speed will always be better than a player with good acceleration and great top speed.

Eh... I've trained a few of them and I wouldn't bet on high tens for a lot of them... Low elevens yes. There is a big difference between could run 10.xx with training and would run 10.xx right now...
If I had to bet I would say a lot of the younger guys would be 10.5-10.9. But you would be surprised by how much specificity sets in after a few years... The vets that have been in the league for 5+ years... Bet their 100m times would be surprisingly slow which is really a good thing as they move away from the silly 40yd dash and static starts... It's almost like your specific speed becomes so amazing that you lose every other capability...
I bet if you did a vet combine every test would be won by guys on the practice squad!

Chris Johnson raced against Walter Dix in high school and ran mid 10's. I think his PR was 10.38. http://fl.milesplit.com/meets/5423/results/14902/raw#.V3pBJrh97IU I guess it's the guys like Jeff Dems and Jacoby Ford who run flat 10s that gives the impression that most other football players must all be around mid 10s. The wide receivers and corner backs would be the fastest.
I could see the running backs being low 11s as most of them weigh around 225lbs+. Even with no body fat when you're that size it's harder to run fast when it comes to top speed.

i wonder who is prescribing HEAVY deadlifting to old people though? seems like there's lots of videos of old people deadlifting now.. 1) is it mostly a crossfit thing? 2) or are old people just deadlifting on their own? 3) are pt's prescribing it?
#2 would make sense in terms of going HEAVY.. #1 and #3 could be dangerous when having them do near 1RM lifts -> wouldn't think they'd prescribe near max deadlifting due to fear of injury/lawsuit/liability etc.
i'm all for really old people lifting.. just a little odd when it's grandparent-looking (not an old freak) belted 1-5RM deadlifts.
or am i way off?

i wonder how fast he is now. he ran 10.5 as a teenager.
He looks pretty heavy!
I found a journal of his from when he used to sprint back in 2009. http://elitetrack.com/forums/topic/tom-martins-training-log/
His increased strength didn't correspond to an increase in speed but injuries were a limiting factor. If he wasn't suffering hamstring injuries and got to work on max speed and speed velocity the increased strength should theoretically lead to faster times due to better acceleration and force development etc. If I was guessing his time now judging on his size I'd say he'd be anywhere from mid 11s to high 12s over 100m as the extra weight he's carrying would negatively impact his top speed/speed endurance.

it's not super beast, but beast nonetheless.. Chase has been putting in tons of high rep trap bar DL's lately. good set, probably close to 2 x BW for 21 reps.

Not sure how i've never seen this until yesterday, but i've watched it maybe 30 times?
This clip itself, is beast.

Marshawn Lynch man.. combat poetry.
btw for those who are unfamiliar, quick vid on some of his best runs:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqO7hmC01gw
Beastly!!!
It's ironic that you posted this because I saw this guy on the news yesterday due to that fkn idiot Donald Trump talking about him: "Marshawn Lynch of the NFL's Oakland Raiders stands for the Mexican Anthem and sits down to boos for our National Anthem. Great disrespect! Next time NFL should suspend him for remainder of season. Attendance and ratings way down."
He runs a 4.46 40 yard as well (we need a sprinting emoji to go along with the bench one :P)

i could just speed up the running emoji............. :trollface:
ya man Lynch is rugged af.. Imagine that kind of power coming at you, I can't. hah. American or Aussie style football is not something i'd survive in :D
Not even paying attention to the Trump nonsense, it disgusts me.
but ya man, that clip from him is competition poetry. i mistyped, not combat poetry, that's too specific.. it's alot more general than that.
pc!!

on the football players dunking vid, NB: cole beasley is 5'8" at most. the pump reverse two-hander he throws down at 1:05 is awesome. saw it originally on deadspin where the headline or caption or whatever was, "pro athletes are different from you and me." true.

He also has a PR of 10.69 in the 100m set back at high school where he was still weighing like 200lbs at 5'11 (look at how much bigger he is against everyone he's racing) and a 40 inch vertical to go with it :ibjumping:

Aided by a tailwind, Kamworor split a 13:01 5k for the final 3.1 miles of the race. He probably wouldn’t have been able to go that fast without the help of the wind and the strategic start, but those are minor quibbles when you consider he cranked out a time which would have won gold at the 2016 Olympics at the end of a half marathon.

Good luck to Class 335 starting Hell Week tomorrow. Men don't get many chances to show their grit! U need to pray for bad weather, the coldest water & a broken fucking body! U should want the worst-case scenario in everything to do with Hell Week! Pray for it to be so hard that only ur fucking boat crew makes it all the way through! They make it through becuz u lead those mf’ers through the worst HW ever! U have to become the devil to get through Hell! This shit is about ur fucking mindset! If u are hoping for the best-case scenario in HW, u are not ready! Know that no mf’er can endure what u can- not becuz u are cocky rather becuz u have trained harder than any mf’er alive! U might think this is a fucking motivational speech...well, it's not! This is my mentality before I go into any fucking war! HW is not for the weak! It's for that mf’er looking for the beginning of his soul! U want to see where most people’s desire & will ends & urs begins! Be the man who smiles when everyone is in pain & miserable w/ their heads hanging! Not a friendly smile but 1 that says, "you think this fucking shit can hurt me?!" This is ur time to start creating the man u want to be! U can't make that man in a soft fucking environment! U must be willing to suffer more than any other! Not becuz u have to but because u want to! Many people are looking for hard shit to prove themselves but once the hard shit becomes reality, it is too much to bear. Be on the lookout for The Look! U will know it once u see it. It looks like their soul is leaving their body. It happens during deep suffering when a person can no longer handle the mental pain & suffering of what they THOUGHT they could do. After you see The Look, quitting is very near. My ? to u is this...What the fuck are u going to do when ur balls are in ur stomach from the cold? when ur body is broke as fuck & u have 50 hours left? when ur boat crew starts to quit and u feel alone? when it won't stop raining and u can't get warm? I don't know what you’re going to do but u asked me for my advice so here's what the fuck I did....I prayed to God to even make it worse! Mindset: go to war with yourself! David Goggins, Class 235

Andrew, it's a quote from the anime/manga "One Punch Man". It's a satire about a normal guy that suddenly becomes able to defeat all enemies in one punch. His "pupil" finally gets him to reveal his secret training strategy and that's it 😂
