1. Post any Personal Records you made this week to the comments. If you didn’t have any, update all of us on your training and ask questions if you have them.
2. Have a jolly good Halloween. If you survive, go ahead and send photos of your costume.
3. The September TSC results have been published for quite a while. Here is the LINK to the spreadsheet.
4. Feel free to talk about football in the comments too.
5. Here are various videos that should get you excited.
Thanks to Tyler T. for the vids.
And this marks the first cartoon posted on this site:
Thanks to Phillip C. for the weird vid.
First meet yesterday!
Squat 430lbs (25lbs PR)
Bench 259lbs (19lbs PR)
Dead 424lbs (39lbs PR)
It was awesome! Thanks for the help leading up to the meet Justin. Everything came together perfectly and now I have to work on my yoke, Brent Kim style.
Justin, can we have a tutorial on pressing people overhead?
I would like to know:
-technique
-How much one needs to be able to lift in excess with a barbell press, in order to press a person?
-warnings, and tips
Haha, this is an excellent idea.

Actually I don’t agree. If the videos are down they are down for a reason. Whether it be Justins decision to take them down or that the embedding has been disabled you’re grown enough to find and search for the related videos on your own. That brings me to my second point, I never said you called Justin a dick. I called him a dick.
–A.C.
– of course they’re down for a reason, that’s a tautology. I accept that. But what exactly is a “related video” if you’re looking for a specific video which no longer exists? And as if you weren’t mockingly implying that I was treating him like he was a dick because I was raising an issue, or that no one should ever complain because it = being ungrateful for everything this site has done, when it obviously doesn’t.
Perhaps it would have been better to make a suggestion – it’s in the best interest of the learning (and even entertainment) of the readership to ensure videos will be able to remain posted, barring hurricanes and other acts of God. This way posts from months ago can be enjoyed over and over again <3 <3 <3
You are suggesting that not only am I personally responsible for videos throughout the internet, but I am also the one removing them. And even if I was, the reason would be more significant than your malcontent. Ignore this child, AC.

I believe I achieved a Candy PR. Didn’t count total volume, but it was enough to make a sweet-toothed 17 year old feel sick (and that’s plenty).
Halloween is helping me on my quest to achieve 70’s Big-ness!
This was funny.

I’m very proud of getting these numbers. Every time I start moving up I get hip and back pain. thanks to ( shameless plug… mob wod) i’ve found new life in my lifts. anyway…
BW: 190lbs
squat 265.
DL : 305..
tomorrow… 265 + 6 wheeeeeels
hopefully I’ll have a video.
Hopefully your technique isn’t the reason for the pain. Nice job and good luck.
–Justin
I squatted 180kg (397 lbs) last Monday. 400 lbs is close.
@coolstorybro
I want those 5 1/2 minutes back! I like the bit right at the end where he has to put: (no homo) – I would very strongly beg to differ….
At APF/AAPF Rise of the Deadlift meet on Saturday (fun and well run meet, BTW):
Deadlift –
1st attempt – 551 GOOD!
2nd attempt – 584 GOOD! Post-injury PR!
3rd attempt – 595 NO GOOD (but gave it a good ride)
We had 8 people there from my gym and almost everyone set PR’s. For some of them it was their first meet, so I was running around coaching, making sure they remembered commands, telling when they needed to warm up, etc. Busy day. Next goal is to hit 600 again at a meet.
@ sapper,
you could have just watched the first 30 seconds to get my point.
Back squat 1 rep max 385#…5# pr.
Justin, I’m suggesting that since you are the one who runs this site, in collaboration with a few others, if you post one of your own videos you should ensure that it will be able to remain up. Obviously you can’t account for random vids staying up on the internet, and I understand that. But what you can control you should.
What do you disagree with? Calling me a child is also useless, I’m trying to provide constructive criticism and you are ignoring it because you don’t care.
Are you still talking about this? What videos are you referring to, because I haven’t removed any. If you’re referring to videos that have been removed by friends, then I can’t do anything about that.
