Tate lifted more by the time he was 18 than Rippetoe, if you want to get down to the nitty gritty.

I'd be surprised if many @Fers could just walk out with 315.

Was looking at one of those threads and it seems that IGX is a banned word. How long has that been the case?

Don't know if anyone cares but I just got an e-mail from Staley that said Rippetoe will be his guest on his podcast tomorrow.

That's why he used 300 instead of 315. They have no idea what the multiples of 45# plates are.

I remember a WOD of 7 singles on DL. One of the comments went:
200#
300#
400#
500#

Bullshit. Nobody loads even hundreds onto a bar when using # plates.

Since we all have been speaking the truth about their bullshit workouts.

I despise using 2.5lb plates. It was killing me on the 531.

I am teh stupid.

So I'm guessing this qualifies as gay-ass stupidity as well:

Actually, he does appear to be lifting in a den of some real gay-ass shit now that I watch the vid again. What's with all the bare-chested twinks?

If ever there was a time for a SSB, lifting with a busted arm is it.

The little plates make the big plates angry.

I'm in the same boat with 531. I feel a little gay on the inside. Good thing we're not in PL54's gym.

kraiburg 35lb plates. Still silly. I did something similar with a manta ray when I had my tricep tendon surgery a few years back. But I don't recall ever going over 315.

Fuck, I was doing the same thing today. Deads were 300, 340, 380.

The 2.5s is bad enough, but all the math was killing me.

Love the 5-3-1, PRing a storm both in lifting and throwing.

Oh, fuck Glasshole, cuz that is the whole reason for the sacred thread.

Shit, I keep waiting for me to crash like all the guys I throw against.

Thinking of opening an x-fit affiliate in San Mateo for wayward women.
Being a reverend and all I think I can point them in the right direction.

That most recent dude who got rhabdo:

Re: I'm an idiot...and I've got rhabdo

Ok, let me try to defend myself a little bit. Although it is well known that GHD situps in high volume are known to cause Rhabdo...THIS WOD WAS RXed TO ME AT AN AFFILIATE BY A COACH. So although I see you're points,you have to consider that. Any doubt, which I had...hence why the title of the post is I'm an idiot, was gone by the fact that I listened to the traininer that designed the WOD. Did I know it was a lot...yes. Should I have known better...yea part of me did. But I figured that if the coaches at the affiliate (who knew about my injury and long time off) knew better.

Possible trolling response:

good thing the RRG is active - it is, right? - cause this trainer is gonna get sued to cr*p out of.

strong guy with a legitimate question wrote:Alright guys, I used to be a VERY competitive rock climber, so my forearms are very strong, I can do 20 strict pullups hanging from 1/4 to a 1/2 inch ledge, crimpers, etc. Also can close 250lb and 300lb grippers.

My problem is they are still very wiry, I am a lighter guy granted, but I would like them to be thicker, I feel its definitely a lagging bodypart considering how strong it is.

So rope climbing....I used to do and love but is out cause no where to hang currently.

Wrist curls and reverse wrist curls are out as I dont have a barbell, and I only have about 80lbs of oly weights.

Wrist roller sounds great in theory, but I dont have a squat rack, so I am basically limited to what I can front raise not what my forearms are capable of.

I know this isnt a bodybuilding community, but I respect this community A LOT more then the above, and I also frequent here, I dont bodybuild.

Thanks for any ideas guys.

Trying to get bigger forearms means you have self esteem issues? Photographing yourself in public doing handstands seems like a bigger psychological issue to me.

It's a mandatory cock check for the Gaymes. With most CrossFitters, it's the only way to tell male from female.
