I know you guys really wanted me to harass people, but most of everyone I met was really nice (even the fitness models –> more on that in another post). This was some giant eastern European or Russian guy who was competing in the amateur strongman competition on Friday morning. I can’t remember his name and can’t hear it well in the video, but he was a big dude.
Edit: Paul Sousa posted the results of the amateur strongman and thinks that Dimitar Savatinov is in the video.

I pulled something in my g-damn back this morning pulling 365. I’ve been hobbling around the office and carrying around ice. What the hell should I do to rehab this?
Where in your back? I did something like this on Monday, btw.

@billybatter – ice, advil, some massage and light mobility work. That’s how I’d go at it.
PS All the wicked posts and vids from this week have got me all jacked up and now I’m whining because I must have let something go slack and now I am laid up.
Lol’d REALLY fucking hard
x2 on it being Savatinov. Saw him last year in Milwaukee at the Battle of the Beach. He used to be in the circus in Bulgaria.
It’s low, about the 3rd or 4th lumbar vertebra. (I don’t know anatomy, I’m looking this up online.)
I pulled the first one, put it down and reset, pulled like 1/4 of the way and something hurt. I thought I had set properly and was maintaining but my back is telling me otherwise.
I can’t believe you asked him if he lifts lol….I thought he was gonna get mad
@billybatter
Did the same Tuesday, oddly shrugging. Go see an Asian deep tissue masseuse and a chiropractor if you’ve got one. I also used the METH protocol for rehabbing (movement,elevate,traction,heat) and was back on it the next day setting more PRs.
I’m doin an 8×2 LP now. In snatch and press i just cant finish the lift after the 6th or seventh set. I rest 2 min between sets 1-5, And 3 min between 6-8. Should I rest more between sets or adjust the number of sets for these two lifts?
Do you even lift? That was pretty freaking funny– that dude is HUGE.
