PR Friday rolls around yet again. This week, AC gave us a quick update on the site (w/ text from Brent), and continued his Wednesday Interview Series with Callahan.

Also, Mike would like to share this challenge with the community, for a good cause:

Van Hatfield’s (2004 America’s Strongest Man) daughter Bre is undergoing Intense Chemotherapy treatments for bone cancer. Information for donations is available through the link. Additionally, “all of you that donate, we would ask that you video yourself doing deadlift for reps. You can use any implement or amount of weight. In the picture include a sign that says, “Believe in Bre”. Send a link to admin@americanstrongman.com.” I know a lot of us deadlift towards the end of the week, so I’ll post a reminder up on Friday morning. I’m going to do block pulls for reps on Saturday. http://americanstrongman.com/?p=4709

Since the 70’s Big community always seems to come through huge for charitable causes like this, I’m sure we can make a big difference again. Share your deadlift videos on the 70’s Big facebook page (or tag 70’s Big) and we’ll post them up next week here on the site.

We also got a bunch of “pressing things overhead” submissions this week:

Matthijs writes: “On vacation with parents of the girlfriend,this happened”

Mike gets some pressing in while at work serving in the Coast Guard

Justin built his own log, and shows off the finished product by pressing it overhead

And then, we have this. A reader with the email name “Fat Lenny”, sent us a video of him pressing his couch at home. I don’t even know where to begin, so I’ll leave this one as a caption contest for the comments:

Here is the second installment of our Wednesday Interview Series with Callahan. In case you missed the first video you can catch it here. This video gives you a small taste of what Callahan does for accessory arm work. The next video will highlight some of his heavy barbell training which is done at Marietta Barbell. It’s the home of some serious lifters. He is certainly in full form when he trains heavy. Don’t miss it!



Also, check out this Smashing Pumpkins music video. See if you can find Callahan in it. This is sort of like “Where’s Waldo?”, but with a 5’10 gorilla that sticks out like a sore thumb.



I just saw that he’s right on the image link. Fuck it.

Posts on the main page here will be limited until the 26th. Posts for the next two weeks will include the Wednesday interview series and PR Friday. We just want to thank you guys for staying a part of our community. Make sure to check out our Facebook page and join the discussions there. Also check us out on Twitter and Instagram (70s_Big). If you don’t you will miss out on gems like seeing Brent’s text messages as well as my spotty cell service.



Fight the good fight.

PR Friday Ladies and Gents. How was your week?

Here at 70’s Big, we released the new tank tops for sale on Monday. If you missed it, you can still check them out and buy one here. AC also started his “Wednesday Interview series” this week, first up was Callahan.

2 weeks ago we presented a new challenge for our readers, to submit photos of themselves pressing random objects (or people). Only one person submitted a picture, so the challenge still stands. Send in your pictures, and we’ll post them here next week. In the meantime, here’s Matt:

“Dug up a tree. Pressed tree. Job done.”

Mike’s also been doing some technique analysis for some of you guys, here’s his most recent video, with an analysis of Adam’s Axle continental clean

Check in and let us know how things are going in the comments today, and leave any questions you might have for Justin or any of the gang, and they will answer them when they get a chance.

Today you are presented an interview with Callahan, or dubbed by Mike, “Sting”. For clarification/social purposes he is not to be confused with the real Sting. Callahan seems to be a fan favorite amongst several of the readers. He often sneaks in videos and makes an appearance spotting. He has helped many, including myself (A.C.), reach numerous goals in strength training and competitive powerlifting. Callahan has also trained alongside several world class athletes, but he doesn’t just teach you about sports he teaches you about life! Over the years I have known him he has been a consistent influence to those around him. Always encouraging and willing to help. Once you see past the intimidating exterior you see more than just a swole stuck-in-the-80’s Metal-Head.



The following video is part one of a three part series.



Enjoy!
